We are delighted to present this article by the Rev. Francis Schaeffer, a former student and a friend and admirer of Dr. Van Til's.

How do you feel when churches, ministries, or even missionaries seek you, asking for funds? Does it give you a toothache? Do you cringe and make the quickest possible exit, or do you see those requests as opportunities to serve? A lot of people run away from stewardship because they do not see it as God does. This is a reflection of our spiritual condition! We should never separate money and finances from our spiritual life. Yet, so many Christians do, seeking to be cheerful with what they can keep, not with how they can be used.

A lot; but, for this article, we will take a look at two passages, one in the Old Testament, and the other in the New. Both of these passages are the foundation to scores of centuries-old theological works. They convey to us the power and importance of what is important in life-why we do things, how we can do things right, and what we can do to be the best we can be. The basic "meaning of life" stuff. http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=31639&view=post&blogid= Thu, 22 Mar 2007 00:00:00 -0400 Shortly after the formation of the Presbyterian Church in America, on 4 December 1973, Dr. Francis A. Schaeffer composed the following thoughts in observance of that event. Notable in his mind was the contrast between the divisions of the 1930's and the 1970's and the manner in which each of these divisions had been conducted. http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=36275&view=post&blogid= Tue, 17 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0400 Pensamiento a Discutir: ¿Que significa ser un Cristiano maduro? ¿Que estas dispuesto a hacer para lograr esta meta? http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=36149&view=post&blogid= Fri, 13 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0400 Placed links with no pasting, I just went into the link editor to a blank cms and added "about" the first link.. http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=36043&view=post&blogid= Tue, 10 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0400 How is you ministry going? Really? Have you ever thought and prayed about taking a self-assessment to see how you are doing so you can honestly find out if your daily activates, relationships, and teaching are lined up to Christ or to something else? http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=33025&view=post&blogid= Mon, 9 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0400 Stewardship Part IIAre you giving what's right, or what's left?In my experiences and observations, I have observed, with sadness, that most people in evangelical circles do not see stewardship as important. A common response to the subject of stewardship is that all we need to have is a good heart, or be sincere in our faith. Our money, and how we manage life is irrelevant. But, is this true? Is God only concerned with our heart? If so, what does that mean? Well, when you read the Bible, you can see that it has a totally different definition of stewardship than what is popular in the church today! http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=32856&view=post&blogid= Thu, 5 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0400 The greatest youth and church relations builder since potlucks and free pizza!If you are a typical youth worker you are dealing with frustrations with upset and even angry church members, and unsupportive staff! "Why did the youth mess up the kitchen?" "Why did the youth make so much noise in the parking lot?" "Why don't the youth ever do anything for us in the church?" And so forth…Do you need an event that builds positive relations with your church folks? Do you need to get in good graces with the Pastor and Elders? Do you need to have a fundraiser yet are tired of bake sales and dog washes? Do you desire to involve your youth... http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=32551&view=post&blogid= Fri, 30 Mar 2007 00:00:00 -0400 The study of the Bible matters!Do you realize that if you are a Christian, and have read the entire Bible, you are in the minority? Does this scare you? Well, it should! If you study the Bible yourself, you are in an even greater minority that even most pastors do not fall into! Yet, all of them would have an opinion of the Bible, teach, and make decisions based on their understanding of the Bible. http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=31635&view=post&blogid= Thu, 22 Mar 2007 00:00:00 -0400 God calls us as pastors and church leaders to be a people who shepherd. Being a Shepherd also means being God's commissioned leader; our Guide is Jesus the Holy One who gently leads us and guides His leaders to care for His flock, the Church. Consider that Jesus comes to us as the Good Shepherd, also a name for Jesus, to rescue His lost sheep. We have all gone astray and have given in to sin; He brings us back to His fold... http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=79251&view=post&blogid= Thu, 26 Apr 2012 00:00:00 -0400 Two biblical principles must be practiced simultaneously, at each step of the way, if we are to be really Bible-believing Christians. One is the principle of the practice of the purity of the visible church. The other is the principle of an observable love among all true Christians. http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=36274&view=post&blogid= Tue, 17 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0400 Propósito: La sabiduría de Dios nos provee dirección y escudo que nos lleva a la victoria. http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=36148&view=post&blogid= Fri, 13 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0400 Submission; Christ our Example! http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=36042&view=post&blogid= Tue, 10 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0400 Biblical definitions of Spiritual Gifts, as defined by the Bible, presented in no particular order. The definitions and supporting Scriptures do correspond to the characteristics of the Gifts as also expressed in most Evangelical and Reformed thinking. http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=32839&view=post&blogid= Thu, 5 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0400 The rules have changed. Everything you believe is suspect. The world is up for grabs. Or have they?Welcome to the emerging postmodern culture. A free zone of rapid change that places high value on community, authenticity, even God-but has little interest in modern, Western-tinged Christianity. http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=32549&view=post&blogid= Fri, 30 Mar 2007 00:00:00 -0400 Why should we listen to the Bible?It is when we are comfortable and complacent that our lack of willingness clouds us from growing in our Lord. The problem is our neglect, not the Bible! http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=31630&view=post&blogid= Thu, 22 Mar 2007 00:00:00 -0400 The Role, Person, and Work of the Holy SpiritThe essential topic of who and what the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost is, His power, impact, and role in the universe and in our lives, along with why we need to know this has been a hot and abused subject matter during the last several decades. The third Person of the Godhead, the Trinity, has been ignored by some and overly abused and misunderstood by most. http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=74982&view=post&blogid= Mon, 6 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0400 Jesus Walks on Water! http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=61379&view=post&blogid= Mon, 19 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0400 We must realize that our being one will take looking to the Lord for help. There will be problems of coordination which must be worked out with patience, with being servants to each other. This will not happen automatically. It will take conscious thought, prayer, and a realistic love not to let our egotisms spoil that which God has given us. I would just say to you there are going to be months, there are going to be times, that you are consciously going to have to realize that there are things that have be worked out in love, and it is imperative that as these things are worked out that the things of personal egotism and personal preference which is not principle would not spoil that which God has given us. http://www.intothyword.org?articleid=36273&view=post&blogid= Tue, 17 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0400 Texto Bíblico: "Sé fiel hasta la muerte, y yo te daré la corona de la vida."
