Synopsis
Based on Romans 12:3-8, -Christian Ministry- describes a ministry of all believers also known as mutual ministry or -one-another- ministry. The author makes the case that this was the original church polity, and that for centuries the churches have not operated even remotely like this. The book is divided into three parts, -Christian ministry in the beginning,- -Christian ministry ruined,- and -Christian ministry revived.- In Part I, Romans 12 and Ephesians 4 are featured. Some of the topics covered in Part II include Nicolaitanism, the ruination of the church by -the church fathers- and their legions, the institution of the Sunday sermon and the false assumptions behind -expository teaching,- the scholastic and gnostic seminary disciplines of -hermeneutics- and -exegesis,- and the -megachurch.- Part III begins with a chapter on the ministry of the Spirit, which takes form in the ministries of the various brethren. This ministry of the Spirit is thwarted by any and every -order of service- or -liturgy.- Also there are chapters on the essential character of the Word as conducive to a mutual ministry of the saints; the simple doctrine of Christian perfection--the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry--contrasted with the theological sophistry that has long surrounded the doctrine; the true NT pastorate as distinguished from the one-man pastorate that has been ascendant since the time of -the church fathers- and perpetuated in the Protestant Reformation; and house churches as an alternative to the formalism in the churches. The appendix includes an open letter to professional pastors and four chapters from -The Christian Ministry According to the Apostles (1858)- by Thomas Hughes Milner., Based on Romans 12:3-8, "Christian Ministry" describes a ministry of all believers also known as mutual ministry or "one-another" ministry.

    The Cherished Teddies sleigh was as described. Actually it’s better as it was described as “used” since it was opened but its appearance is like new. The original box, certificate, and packing was also in new condition. Both the item and shipping were priced right and I found it of good value. It was shipped fast and packaged very securely. Overall, I am pleased with this purchase and seller.

    A beautiful figurine, as described and shipped promptly. It was wrapped multiple times in bubble wrap and packed in box with styrofoam popcorn all around it for added protection. The price was very fair. Highly recommend seller!
