Shepherding the Church by Caring for Pastors
The role of the pastor and his family in the church is important in shaping the church’s spiritual, emotional, and social health. The pastor is the spiritual leader responsible for preaching, teaching, shepherding, and guiding members in their faith journey. He provides pastoral care through counseling, prayer, and encouragement, ensuring that the church remains spiritually nourished and biblically sound.

ELI Asia Newsletter Yearend 2023
Dr. Hans F. Bayer, Professor of New Testament at Thirdmill talked about how the Holy Spirit empowered the ministry of the Gospel. He said: “As the apostles advanced the mission of the church, their work on the frontiers of the kingdom was consistently confirmed by dramatic outpourings of the Holy Spirit. Through the Spirit’s power, the Gospel spread unhindered from Jerusalem to Judea, and Samaria and to the ends of the earth. Even today, the power of the Holy Spirit is the only means by which the church can be transformed and effectively spread the Gospel, we too must seek to depend on the Spirit’s power if we are to…

ELI Asia Newsletter 2023
God is good. God is faithful even when weâre not. God is sovereign in good and in bad. ELI Asia as a teaching organization is never immune to trials and testing. The truth is that because of its desire to equip and teach local pastors and leaders to become biblically sound, its leaders and teaching faculty are often tested for their faithfulness to do the work entrusted to them by no less than God. God gives the desire to teach and this gives ELI Asia, a faculty composed of learned pastors who strive to endure and persevere to be able to teach the local church and various campuses. As God…

Ang Importansiya ng Creeds at Confessions
Mahal ko si Hesus Person 1: Mahal ko si Hesus! Person 2: Mahal ko rin si Hesus! Person 1: So, kung mahal mo si Hesus at mahal ko rin si Hesus, eh di malamang tayo ay Kristiyano! Person 2: Oo nga! Ngunit sila nga ba ay mga tunay na Kristiyano? Sa loob ng maraming taon ang mga Kristiyano ay nakikila ang isaât isa kapag kanilang ipinoproklama ang kanilang pagmamahal kay Hesus. Sinasabi nila na dahil mahal ko si Hesus, siguradong ako ay isang Kristiyano. Sa kasalukuyan, napakadali lamang sabihin at i-deklara na ang isang tao ay isang Kristiyano. Basta ang isang tao ay sambitin ang pangalan ni Hesus iniisip agad…

The Importance of Confessions and Creeds
I Love Jesus Person 1: I love Jesus! Person 2: I love Jesus too! Person 1: Well, if you love Jesus and I love Jesus, then we must be Christians Person 2: Yes, yes, we must be! But are they really? For years, Christians connected along the lines of âI love Jesus, so I am a Christian.â Nowadays itâs so easy to claim Christianity. Christians connected with anyone who utters the name of Jesus. Embraced churches, materials, people, and resources that bear the name of Jesus. But do we really believe and love the same Jesus? The Jesus of the Bible? Letâs Look at a Little Church History We are…

A Biblical Pastor
Itâs Pastorâs Appreciation Month so I thought I should write something about it before the month ends. I also thought it would be good to ask a handful of my friends what a biblical pastor is so I sent them messages and my question went like this: What is a biblical pastor? Please do not research. I want to see what comes to mind right off the bat. And these are the answers I got: âBiblical Pastor: Apostle Paul..cause I’m currently studying Philippiansâ âA biblical pastor lives by and preaches the word of God.â âHe (not a woman ) must feed & tend the flock of God. He must teach…
