Sten-Erik Armitage Th.M. Which professor has made the greatest impact on you? Impossible to narrow down to just one! Dr. Blount for giving me a passion to help others think Christianly. Drs.

Allen & Allman for exposing me to the unfathomable depths and riches of God's Word. Drs. Coover-Cox & Fantin for...

I question if there is a greater heartbreak. For some it causes them to weep at any given moment day or night. Only those who ‘have been there done that’ can fully understand. There are those who are part of your family on earth that unless something happens spiritually will not be part of your family in heaven. One can say about a departed believer, “So long”. Indeed it will only be “so long” before one sees the person again in the presence of the King....

Girl talk. Women make time for it at Friday night hangouts, Mary Kay parties, and Sunday brunches. They affirm one another, listen to that week’s trials, and share the latest celebrity news disguised as information. But while most women love to talk about everything, they hate to disagree about anything. They often keep their true opinions to themselves and hold conversations on a surface level, maintaining safety by avoiding conflict. Tired of these polite discussions, Dallas...

Before we can talk about achieving victory in spiritual warfare, we have to understand the nature and history of the conflict between God and Satan. The basic principle is that everything we see in the visible, natural realm is controlled by events in the supernatural, invisible realm. Moves and Countermoves We can see this throughout the Old Testament as God made the first move and Satan countered with his move. God made the first move when He created the angels. Lucifer...

Preaching through a book of the Bible requires a commitment to both the hard work of exegeting a text and the challenging task of bringing its message to life within a given cultural context. A wonderful example of this movement from exegeis to exposition comes from the teaching team at Irving Bible Church , lead by E. Andrew McQuitty ( Th.M. , 1985, D.Min. , 1995) and including DTS professor  Barry Jones ( Th.M. , 2002, Ph.D., Wheaton, 2008). They recently finished a six...

Most parents can remember a time when their children realized that there's varitey among people. Sometimes those moments were funny. Sometimes they were embarrasing. But in the eyes of Sharifa Stevens (Th.M. 2004), they're almost always teachable opportunities for "Raising Your Children in a Multicultural World." Teachable moments are a good thing. Like when your son loudly asks why that man is “rolling around” in a wheelchair, or your niece licks a...

Thousands of discipleship resources line the shelves in Christian bookstores, but readers sometimes struggle to choose from so many options. A small group of spiritually mature teenage boys that meets weekly has needs that differ from those of a single mother who can meet only once a month. To help bridge these gaps and make discipleship as personal as possible, Jason Seville ( Th.M. , 2010), director of resources at  Downline Ministries came up with the idea of a web-based tool that...
