The writer advocates a trifocal hermeneutical method (analysis, synthesis, and application). The writer develops the category of application by researching approaches used by scholars in related fields, surveys methodologies and critiques them. An application worksheet for pastors to develop sermon application from Old Testament narratives is presented. The process utilizes four steps: investigation, significance, transformation, and enablement. This process addressed both congregational life (corporate application) and believers lives (individual application) with the intent that Christ-enabled transformation occurs through the preaching of Old Testament narratives."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Southwestern

question of how divorce (and remarriage) impacts one's qualifications for deaconate ministry in the local church and how consistently churches apply the standard they claim. Looking at text, tradition, and actual practice, the latter of which was gained through a survey of American Baptist pastors -- the writer evaluated approaches to this question, determining that inconsistency too often emerges in the context of application.

The declaration of the self-existent and transcendent creator God in the opening statement of chapter one functions as the theological cornerstone of all biblical revelation. The theological framework and biblical doctrines from Genesis 1-3, set a stage of God's historical and eschatological plan for all humanity. With the socio-political openness and rapid economic growth that has recently occurred, more Chinese people have become capable of going overseas to study, vacation, work, or migrate. Many intellectuals and new immigrants have experienced Christianity and the culture of local Chinese churches in the United States. College campuses and their surrounding cities have become new 'mission fields' where evangelistic apologetic work becomes imperatively and strategically significant. A study of Genesis 1-3 focusing on biblical doctrines will help Chinese intellectuals and immigrants to reevaluate their embedded Chinese traditional thought, philosophy, Confucianism and atheistic worldview. Equipping Chinese pastors and Bible teachers to use Genesis 1-3 as the preaching and teaching materials to Chinese intellectuals who are in Chinese churches in the United States is one of the preeminent evangelistic apologetic strategies."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["b2ad2862-737d-4dde-8145-b9b6962ac5f3"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["work_editor","public"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791131527195656192,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T07:48:54.792Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T13:02:21Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T08:02:25Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"7f0de569-85cd-49b7-b42a-79beb29410e9","accessControl_ssim":["708adac2-e09c-4c68-86e4-ed4d5692224f"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["Encouraging first-time pastors: an analysis of a Texas directors of missions opinion survey regarding relationships with first-time pastors, informed by the Pastoral Epistles"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T13:02:20Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T01:52:45Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["32558e3c-4a71-4e4e-8b61-0c0b2ce52ed3"],"hasLease_ssim":["574ab2ab-67b4-4bf1-9cb5-fcadc46b4b31"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Unknown"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["W Michael Wilson"],"year_tesim":["2009"],"resource_type_tesim":["Unknown"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["Michael A Roberson"],"publisher_tesim":["Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary"],"subject_tesim":["Clergy","Southern Baptist Convention","Clergy--Appointment, call, and election"],"language_tesim":["English"],"abstract_tesim":["The writer's experience of being fired in his first pastorate, and the healing that took place in the subsequent pastorate, motivated him to encourage first-time pastors.

In the Korean-American community, as illustrated by the situation in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, the church may be failing to develop and implement intentional ministries toward the elderly. Among numerous Korean churches in the area (over one-hundred local congregations), only three churches have programmatic ministries for seniors. The following dissertation first examines the Bible for a proper understanding of the place of seniors in the church. On the basis of this biblical understanding of the elderly, three of the more successful senior ministry programs in the Dallas/Fort Worth area are studied. Various survey data are presented and analyzed. The dissertation then compares the ministries among the three programs and, more importantly, to the biblical view of the elderly. Finally, in view of biblical teaching and the analysis of the ministries, the dissertations proposes a model for effective ministry to senior adults in the Korean-American church."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["b2ad2862-737d-4dde-8145-b9b6962ac5f3"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["work_editor","public"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791132752351854592,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T08:08:23.192Z","score":1.0}],"facets":[{"name":"resource_type_sim","items":[{"value":"Unknown","hits":395,"label":"Unknown"},{"value":"Dissertation","hits":28,"label":"Dissertation"},{"value":"D.Min.
