Brethren, Church History is OUR History! 

——————————————————-

Exerpted from Our Church Speaks:

“The glory of God is a human being fully alive; and to be alive consists in beholding God.” - Irenaeus of Lyons (130-202), Bishop of Lyons and Teacher of the Faith 

Irenaeus is a critical link between the apostolic church and the Christian theologians of the second and third centuries. As a boy, he studied under Polycarp, the disciple of the Apostle John. He completed further study in Rome and was appointed to serve as the bishop of Lyons. Lyons had proven to be a dangerous region for Christians and many believers had already suffered martyrdom, including Saint Blandina and her companions and the predecessor in Irenaeus’ office. As bishop, Irenaeus thoroughly defended the Christian faith from Gnostic teachers who sought to undermine scripture’s teachings on the nature of Christ. He is considered the first great theologian of the church, after the age of the Apostles. His works quote from 24 of the 27 New Testament books, demonstrating that the canonical New Testament Scriptures were a vital part of the Christian imagination, from the earliest years of the church. Irenaeus gave his life for Christ at the beginning of the 3rd century, martyred probably during the persecution of Emperor Septimius Severus.

We need COMMUNITY! 🙌

Not a week goes by without at least two or three people sharing with me some variation of the statement, this grace journey is great...but lonely. And honestly, I get it. Ive felt it too. Content is WONDERFUL, but its no substitute for real, genuine, heartfelt COMMUNITY. Having had the courage to step out of the confines of legalistic, performance-driven religion, the isolation that often accompanies that can feel disorienting.

BUT NOT ANYMORE!

Derived from the Latin, ‘deservire,’ meaning to merit by service, and later the Middle English, ‘deserven’, which means to be entitled to something based on one’s actions, it’s not about what we ‘deserve’, for that word hinges on what we can produce or merit by our own effort. 

Seeing as we are inexhaustibly loved by Love himself, I’ll take ‘belovedness’ over ‘deserve’ any day of the week…and twice on Sundays. 😉

Jeremiah 31:3
1 John 4:7-21
Brethren, the Gospels still matter! Written AFTER the Epistles, they depict the entirety of Incarnation, conception through ascension. They are not ‘old covenant’, but NEW COVENANT recountings for a NEW COVENANT PEOPLE of two covenants—old and  new—colliding. 

The Epistles present the accomplished reality of living as a new creation.

The Gospels paint a picture of how Jesus is the forerunner (and indeed the carrier, source, and distributor) of that new humanity, dropping subtle and not-so-subtle hints as to the radical shift Incarnation will unveil.

They are not in contradiction. They exist in complimentary union. 

I’ll be meditating on this amazing quote from Don for several days.  So good!

Transfer Evaluation Process

There are many streams of the Grace message, each with its own flavor and unique expression of the beautiful Gospel.  Several of these also have high-quality ministry training programs that, although not accredited or credit-awarding, are nonetheless valuable learning experiences that serve as a great launching pad for students eventually  pursuing a degree.  

To that end, GGS has developed an accrediting-approved Transfer Evaluation Process that can award academic credit to students coming to us from non-traditional schools of ministry and bible training programs that were centered in the unconditional love of God for all creation.  

These programs include, but are by no means limited to:

  • School of Kingdom (Dubb Alexander and Team)
  • Malcolm Smith Bible Institute (Malcolm Smith and Team)
  • Cana Seminary (John Crowder and Team)
  • Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry (Bill Johnson and Team)
  • St. Anthony Institute for Theology, Philosophy, and Liturgics (Chris Green and Team)
  • Legacy Academy (Tommy Miller and Team)
 

The Transfer Evaluation Process works as follows:

 

  1. Prospective students initiate an evaluation request by contacting info@globalgraceseminary.net.
  2. A member of the academic team will be in touch with what specific information is needed to conduct your evaluation.  This will typically include summaries of the content of the courses you completed, contact information for who oversaw your studies, copies of any official documentation you received (such as diplomas and transcripts) and related documentation.  The specifics of what is required will vary from program to program.
  3. For those programs that did not require graded coursework (such as quizzes, tests, exams, etc.), a portfolio project will be assigned that will provide a means of awarding academic credit that can then be transferred into GGS and thus reduce the number of classes students must complete toward their degree.
