Artios
Do you want to learn more about God beyond what you get Wednesday night and Sunday Morning?
Do you struggle with knowing how to “grow” in your faith, taking the next step?
When you pick up the Bible, does it feel like an ancient manuel that seems nearly impossible to decipher?
When the pastor gives the message do you look at the scriptures and say, “how did he get that from that passage?"
Have you ever wanted to serve the Lord but have no idea on how to get started?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions...please continue reading!
Need for Theological training and Leadership
Saint John Chrysostom said, “if we think wrongly about God, we will live wrongly.” Chrysostom’s aim was “to lead disciples, both by what they do and what they say, into the way of that blessed life which Christ commanded (125;IV.8)."
Saint John Chrysostom faced intense theologcial controversies in his day. He knew the vital need for faithful leaders in the true Christian church who were rooted in the foundations of Christian thought and life.
Much like Saint John’s day, we as 21st Christians are bombarded by various thoughts and ideas about pseudo-christianity. Even within the church walls, we cannot agree on the basic foundations of Christian thought and life.
One who desires to serve the Triune God for a lifetime should not be expected to uproot and leave their community, ministry and family in order to study theology. Our churches need to be back in the business of training people within our own congregation for the work of ministry.
