Though infinitely better able to do without prayer than we are, yet [Christ] prayed much more than we do. —C.H. Spurgeon
Belydenis
Die Peacemakers beklemtoon sewe aspekte van belydenis wat sal help om konflik te vermy of op te los.
1.Praat met almal wat betrokke is – almal wat beïnvloed is.
“Nay, though an angel should come and appear before mine eyes from heaven, yet it would not add to my belief; for I have of my Saviour Christ Jesus bond and seal; I have his Word, Spirit, and sacrament; thereon I depend, and desire no new revelations.” – Martin Luther
Hoe sing jy?
In 1761 gee John Wesley ‘n paar voorskrifte vir hoe om in die kerk te sing.
Oh, if we could not die, it would be indeed horrible! Who wants to be chained to this poor life for a century or longer? —C.H. Spurgeon
Die Pastor
[Pastor is Latyn vir herder – WAT]
Eugene H. Peterson (The Contemplative Pastor: Returning to the Art of Spiritual Direction) skryf onder andere oor die taak van die pastor. Die subtitel gee natuurlik ‘n leidraad: nie Bybeluitleg, nie apostoliese entrepreneurskap, nie mentorskap, nie berading nie, nie CEO nie, nie die gemeente aan die gang hou nie, maar geestelike rigtinggewing.
