GroupsPastoring in the 21st Century

About meI retired from the USAF (SMSgt) in Jan 1997. We were 13.5 years in Misawa, JA. I was ordained in June, 1996. I pastor a small country church in rural AR, where we have been since June 1998. I am a 2000 graduate of MidAmerica Baptist Theological Seminary. Christmas is my favorite holiday, followed by Thanksgiving and Easter. I also post to the Yahoo! Q&A in the Religion and Spirituality segment, answering all the sincere questions I can, and even a few that are phishing for antagonists, or those trying for converts to JW or other cults.

About my libraryMostly heavy (conservative) theological, though there are a few volumes of fiction, mostly John Gresham and Tom Clancy, though I borrowed JK Rowling's Harry Potter books from church members. I have a couple of signed John Gresham novels, and I love his novels that do not focus on lawyers.
My son showed me LT after T'giving, and I immediately signed up and ordered the ISBN scanner. That made all the difference getting my library loaded into LT.

Dear Tim,

Thank you for your elaborate answer. You have given me some food for thought. Just like you, I am a Baptist preacher, and sometimes I wonder how I can touch the hearts more, without the use of emo-rhetorical tricks. But like you said, the warming of hearts, isn't that ultimately the Spirit's work?
Thank you for informing after my PhD. Unfortunately I cannot tell you too much yet, since I have just started up the whole project. I am wrestling with the German theology at the moment (Barth, Brunner, Tillich, Pannenberg etc.) before I can go into the Baptists. In Europe there are not so many Calvinistic Baptists, and we therefore lack a proper understanding of sin.
I wish you a blessed Sunday tomorrow. I will preach on the resurrection of Lazarus, and hope, with help of the Holy Spirit, to touch the hearts and minds.

Bro. Tim:

I linked to your site because of your conservative profile. (I thought it was interesting and wanted to come back to it to peruse it inthe future.) Judging by your book listings, I am probably not as conservative as you. However, I also, attended Mid-America ('85-86) but never graduated from there. I did finally graduate from NOBTS in the summer of '93.

I found your library from a book search on Thom Rainer's "The Unexpected Journey." It is in the "shared" area that I found your library.

Our Sunday night Discipleship Training group (I am leading it) is going through about seven or eight chapters of Rainer's book. I provide additional resources about the cult or world religion in my "teaching" time.
