Not a difficult book, to be sure, but one I found went rather over my head nonetheless. -- A number of helpful insights -- especially this one: 'Ministry "unbalances" truth for the sake of relevance [i.e., to make truths personal, individual, particular to the situation being addressed]; theology "rebalances" truth for the sake of comprehensiveness [i.e., it sets truth in a broader, more structured context]." As Powlinson writes (pp41-2): "In order to actually minister to people, you need wise selectivity, while bearing in mind the fullest possible repertoire of options from which to choose. You do not build a house with only one tool in your toolbox when God gives you a truckload of tools. But you do use your tools one at a time, the right tool for the right job." -- I will return to this book at some later point; I had thought this would be perfect for 'where I am' at the moment, but perhaps not... ( ) 4/5 stars “How Does Santification Work?” by David Powlison Chapter 3 alone would be worth the price of this brief book (pp.112). Powlison helpful explains that in ministering to others we must be prepared (and okay with) “unbalancing” the Truth in order to meet someone’s immediate need. We should, though, also be ready to quickly “rebalance” the Truth too, so that someone doesn’t get the wrong ideas. Powlison means that “you can’t say everything all at once” (p.34). Too many people in need have had well-meaning people say too much to them, in terms that are too-abstract and not at all immediately applicable. I’d definitely recommend this to any Christian who wants to grow in their effectiveness in ministering to others. That is, I’d recommend this to ALL Christians ;) I rated this 4/5 stars because if you are not familiar with his style it may be somewhat distracting. I’d recommend listening to him speak first (do a search on YouTube) or reading “Speaking Truth in Love” before this one. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
Many popular views try to reduce the process of Christian growth to a single template: Remember past grace. Rehearse your identity in Christ. Avail yourself of the means of grace. Discipline yourself. But Scripture portrays the dynamics of sanctification in a rich variety of ways. No single factor, truth, or protocol can capture why and how a person is changed into the image of Christ. Weaving together personal stories, biblical exposition, and theological reflection, David Powlison shows the personal and particular ways that God meets you where you are to produce change. He highlights the variety of factors that work together, helping us to avoid sweeping generalizations and pat answers in the search for a key to sanctification. This book is a go-to resource for understanding the multifaceted, lifelong, personal journey of sanctification. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
