Whatever Happens, Walk Worthy!

Nov 17, 2017 | Blog, Faith, Holiness, Leadership, Spiritual Formation

What a privilege and delight to speak this week (November 14-16) in chapel services on the campus of Asia-Pacific Nazarene Theological Seminary. The Seminary community intentionally focused on celebrating the 34th anniversary of the founding of APNTS and on deepening our relationship with Christ as we live and lead in faith communities – Christian homes, local churches, ministry organizations and educational institutions.

The theme for the week was: “Whatever Happens, Walk Worthy.” (Philippians 1:27). “Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.” The theme was addressed in three parts: “Whatever Happens…Keep the Faith, Embrace the Tensions, and Watch our Words.”

You may access the PowerPoint presentations on the BoardServe website in the link below. I welcome your comments.
