Fall 2018 Engage Journal Released
The fall 2018 issue of Church of God Engage has been released and is available digitally at www.cogengage.org.
The journal for ministers, church and lay leaders, offers a variety of articles for those working in ministry on a regular basis. Different than Church of God Evangel, Engage offers practical ministry ideas and resources, as well as items for the local church to implement.
This issue continues the series, “Let’s Talk About It,” by General Overseer Tim Hill. His subject this issue is financial transparency. Other articles include “Worship: Transformation or Treason,” by Dr. Jerald Daffe, “Discerning Social Justice,” by Nathan Street, and “Discipleship As A Lifestyle,” by Pam Brewer.
In this issue pastor and Lee University religion professor Dr. John Lombard addresses the weighty topic of “Speaking in Tongues,” in the on-going series of papers submitted by the Doctrine and Polity Committee.
In a reprint from another publication, there is a timely article that addresses ways to help protect your church and pastor from a “Willow Creek” type scandal. There is also the second part in a two-part feature on dealing with mental illness in the church.
Regular columns include Legal Notes and Financial Matters that appeal to the minister and local church. There are two book reviews of recently released publications including the latest book by Church of God first lady Paula Hill. The book is entitled, “Pot holes, Stinky Stuff and Thin Blankets.”
There is also a recurring section which looks back at the last four months of Church of God happenings as reported on Faith News Network. A special link in this section takes you to a summary article of the 2018 International General Assembly written by Lance Colkmire, editor of our sister publication, Church of God Evangel.
Published three times a year, Engage is emailed directly to ministers, pastors, staff and leaders in the Church of God. It is then made available to anyone simply by logging into the website www.cogengage.org.
On the site, the publication may be downloaded for print, or viewed in a convenient two-page spread. Any website listed within the publication is a live link. There are also archived copies of the publication going back several years.
