My basic theology

May 12th, 2011

My basic theology

 

This writer came to his present understanding of theology out of  68 years of experiential Faith.   A goal of helping the church strengthen its position in presenting the faith is the  reason for this enterprise. One comes to this experience with 8 years of secondary education in some of the church’s best schools plus 50 years of ordained ministry.  More than that I am a committed Christian.  The majority of my daily thoughts center around the issues of my faith.  So it is out of love for God, as a follower of Jesus the Christ, one open to the leading of the Holy Spirit ,and a love for the church  that  I come to this task.

Twenty five years of this writer’s ministry were spent in serving  the academic communities of the research triangle of North Carolina.  These congregations had a profound enfluence upon  the depth and quality of this preacher’s  theology and  Faith.  Highly educated congregations are a challenge to the clergy to know the faith in depth, and to be able to evaluate theology from a variety of positions. Theology has philosophical, psychological, political, and religious implications. Each of these schools have to be addressed by the pastor today if he/she wants to be taken seriously.    In the research triangle of Nother Carolina dozens of PHDs were sitting in the congregation on a given Sunday representing a diversity of academic enterprises.   These were people seeking help in their faith.  There  was a great challenge in serving these people but one was also very gratified in doing it.

Theology by its very nature starts with God ….theology literally is the study of God. Monotheism is the belief in one God and the worship of one God. The Jews called this God … Yahweh. Yahweh created all the physical world. The physical world includes the universe, The earth, biological and plant life are all part of this physical creation. It was created rationally and with wisdom. Built into what God created is the created order. In the created order is a multiplicity of checks and balances. This is true of the physical, spiritual, and social orders of God’s creation. Living with that order brings joy and happiness. Break it and pain follows.

God is a Spirit. Something of that spirit is created into all of creation. God’s spirit seeks unity with the spirit in all of creation. Through that spirit God communicates with human beings. In fact, humans have become channels through which God heals, leads, and moves the created order toward some positive end.

Jesus was a human being who lived 2,000 years ago. The Spirit of God came upon Him. He accepted its presence and was able to bend his will to the spirit in a way no human being had ever done before. God showed Jesus the keys to the created order of life for human beings. Jesus taught these keys as insights to the Will of God for human beings.  His teachings are … truth!

Jesus’ teachings began with the prime directive… Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, soul, mind and strength, and love your neighbor as thyself. His teachings consisted of positive examples of how this would work. Stories like the Good Samaritan, and the Prodigal Son show the positive and negatives of God’s system of life. God healed many people through Jesus. God enabled Jesus to perform strange feats which seemed to deny the created order which we call miracles …IE: walking on water, and calming the sea.    Jesus’ teachings and good works got him into trouble with the religious leaders of his day. They had him killed. Facing that death without recounting what he had taught validated his teachings and gives us strength to believe and practice them.   After his death God raised him as the Messiah (the Christ) …chosen one of Israel.  This miracle of extended life has been offered us through God’s Grace.  Jesus’ resurrection is an example of what ours will be.

Those who follow Jesus’ teachings are called Christians. One of his other basic teachings was that one would know the truth and the truth would set you free. Those who follow those truths find their lives resting on a rock solid foundation. When the difficulties of life bear  heavily upon us we are able to  handle the stress and even grow in strength.  He never said anything about worshiping himself.  He was always pointing us to God.

Truth is a rational, and emotional experience. It cleans the mind. NEW systems of thought fall into place. New ways of perception occur. One is said to have been converted. People who have this experience testify that it seems as though thousands of pounds have been lifted from them. Everything seems fresh, and bright and clean. Alas the reality of a world of illusion descends and once again one must find a source of renewal of the truth in order to continue following this way of life. In fact one needs to band together with others who have had the same experience for support and strength. Therein comes the necessity of the Church.

These blogs are written to inspire Faith and growth in it.  All growth involves change.  Change denotes inner conflicts and hard work.  However, God through His Spirit gives us the courage and power to make the trip.  May God’s Shalom be with you as you read these thoughts.

Power of love

November 28th, 2011

Tom
Faggart

 

Love is the strongest power in interpersonal  relationships.  It comes from God’s love for us and our belief that we are his children.   Once there is  acceptance of this belief and it is internalized to an emotional level it will determine one’s  life’s style.

“To an emotional level” is the controlling factor in this statement. Emotions denote feelings,  and subconscious.  Compare this to the conscious mind where we  think.

One can control one’s thoughts,  and change them quickly and on the spot.  Emotions are difficult to control, and seldom changed without a great  struggle.

An individual who truly loves God would not do  anything purposefully to hurt God.  One who has truly, and really experienced God in His Holy Spirit is held to him like a magnet to a piece of metal.  The two  can be torn asunder but not with out a great struggle.

Love is much stronger than fear!

The phone  rang.
The voice on the other end of the line was the manager of the Nursing
Home where his 88 year old mother stayed.
“Your mother has had a life threatening stroke.  You should hurry up here.”  He was on his way in a flash.

During the 30 minute trip his mind went back over  his last conversation with her.  “You
were the biggest pain I ever had”, she said … referring to his birth.  Just want you to know that I would have gone
through it again without question to have you as my son.  Both son and mother had almost died at his
birth.  Their relationship had been special.  There was a genuine love which  bound  them together.

She was in a  comma when he got there. He went to her bed and took her in his arms, told her he
loved her.  Told her how good a mother  she was.  Then  joined her in prayer, asking God for a special
outpouring of his Grace of trust. He commended her to God and asked  God to keep her for all eternity.

He felt some movement.  Then he loosed her, noticed life had come  back into her eyes and
said to her:  “Mom tell dad I still think  about him, and I still love him.”  A  faint smile crossed her face.  A last
breath and she was gone.

He  turned to the nurse  and said: “Mom is gone.”  “ I think you may be mistaken”, she  said.  “I just checked her a minute ago.”  “ How about checking,”   He  requested.  She  did !

She said, “ You are right and went to call for help.”

This mother never worried about her son.  She knew he would never do anything that would bring dishonor to her or the  family.

The son was always conscious of  his parents  and his family name  and lived his life to bring honor to them
both.

Love is the strongest power in interpersonal  relationships.  It comes from God’s love
for us and our belief that we are his children.   Once there is  acceptance of this
belief and it is internalized to an emotional level it will determine one’s  life’s style.

Follow up; Tools for Church Growth

August 5th, 2011

.Tom Faggart

 

Church growth is hard work.  Church growth requires certain tools.  Church growth needs consistency.  Church growth needs some basis tools.

Here  is my list:

  1. Telephone
  2. Card file
  3. Index cards
  4. Contact group
  5. Membership Class

In this modern world people are busy.  Most of them will give you a few minutes of undivided attention.  The telephone is one of most widely used means of communication.  There are very few people who will not give you 3 to 5 minutes once in  awhile for conversation.  However, it is important to plan the time of your call.  Do NOT call during dinner time:  5:00 –7:00 pm. Or before 9:00 in the morning.  Prime time television hours are questionable.  If you sense this is not a good time when you call ASK …When would it be convenient to contact you?

The call is both friendly and business.  Go through the normal friendly conversations we all use to begin our calls and then let them know you are here on business for the church.  You would like some information from them if they would be willing to share it.

  1. names and approximate age of  family members.  Important  to know for assimilation into the church.
  2. How long have you been in our community?  Allow them to give you impressions they have of  the same.
  3. What  was your last church?  If they seem real positive you may follow up asking about jobs they held there.  Under no circumstances should this take on the nature of an integration!!!!
  4. Glad you choose  to visit our church … let them respond on their own.   If they do not volunteer information leave it alone.  If they give you an impression, write it down.
  5. Invite them to return

 

Card files are easy to use  and to pass  from person to person.   Each person who helps will probably need one.  As a clergy person I usually kept close tabs on this box.  People could get  their names in the box by signing the fellowship pad, or if they had written the church a check with their names on it.  The financial secretary was always instructed to pass on info relative to new givers.  Members could give  the church names  of family, neighbors and friends they thought might be potential members.  A little work will soon produce a healthy list of potential members.

The cards are for info about  the prospect.

  1. Name
  2. Address
  3. Telephone numbers
  4. E mail address
  5. Names of  each family member
  6. Previous church
  7. Jobs held in the church
  8. Job or profession or professions in family
  9. Any needs perceived of the family
  10. Information essential to getting the family involved in the life of the church
  11. Whatever those helping in the project want to record

COMMITTEE OF PEOPLE TO HELP PASTOR WITH TASK:

This committee does not have to be very  large.  In fact three pairs of two or six persons always seemed about ideal to me.  This helped in case a visitation was needed.  Always better to go out two by two.

I always made the first call.  Usually on  that Sunday afternoon.  If not, always before Wednesday, and always as soon as possible after the people had visited.

Lay people were asked to call the next week, and enter the nature of their conversation on the card and any suggestions they had to help bring this person into the church.

These simple actions will keep the person coming for 6 weeks or more if they are interested at all.  They may check out other churches in the community before finding a church home.  They will always remember your interest and about 85% of them will eventually wind up joining your church if it comes close to meeting their needs.

 

MEMBERSHIP CLASS:

This is the pastor’s domain.  The pastor needs to teach  this class because of its symbolic nature, and it is his/her job to receive members into the church.  My classes usually lasted 6 weeks.  I would always announce one was going to be held.  A letter of invitation would be sent to each prospect inviting them to be a part of the class.  I would suggest they would meet several like minded people and get to know them.

The lessons were:

  1. 1. Discussion of God of Creation
  2. 2. Discussion of Holy Spirit
  3. 3. Discussion of Jesus the Christ …historical and theological qualities
  4. 4. History of church and how it grew
  5. 5. Reformation …  UMC church/Wesley
  6. 6. You particular church:  history, main leaders, and opportunities to serve.  Have main leaders to visit and introduce them to the group.

During the week following the final class I would contact each one and invite them to join.

Steps toward growth

June 6th, 2011


Tom Faggart

Modern church growth is linked to public relations

 

Good public relations begins with common courtesy.  If  I visit you … You visit me. And to learn my name means you value me as a person.

 

  1. If  I visit you … You visit me.

When a visitor shows up in your church show them the same courtesy as you would expect to receive on your first visit to their homes.  Be friendly, but don’t be gushy.  A conversation to learn who they are and from whence they come will set a good tone.  You always have time for a visitor who comes to your church so give them your undivided attention.

 

  1. Learn the newcomers name at the door.  Then you will have the information to be used the next time you see the person.  Don’t do this unless you really intend to remember their names.  Tie their name to someone with the same name, or a person you know with some similarities to this person.  If you are not good at remembering names have someone stand nearby to take notes.

 

  1. Call the person shortly after their visit.  I found Sunday afternoon usually a good time to call them on the phone and welcome them to the church.  During this call I learned as much about them as I could in several minutes.  It is helpful to know:

 

  1. How many people are in the family.
  2. Where did they come from
  3. Previous church
  4. Some of the offices held
  5. Gifts they may have …choir, teaching etc.
  6. Be sure to listen to what they say and the emotion with which they say it.  Learned long ago if they feel like there was something about the church which reminded them of the church back home you are in and they will probably eventually join your church.  If they sing give their names to music department.  Teach, get them into a Sunday School class.

Their next visit to your church will be their time to validate the truthfulness of your last response.  If you remember their names, and something familiar about them they are probably in.  Stronger chance if they were contacted by those to whom you referred them

  1. And heir next visit introduce them to some of the members of the congregation near by and they will  have another attachment to the church.  Encourage members of the congregation to invite them to groups in the church.
  2. Every week I took my list of prospects and made 30 to 40 calls via the phone  just to keep up with the people.

Over the years I was able to receive thousands  of people into the churches I served.  One year my church lead the conference with over 200 new members.  I made two visits to homes.

Membership classes help bring in new members

June 6th, 2011

Tom Faggart

New membership classes were started every quarter in the churches in communities where there were  a great many visitors.  These classes would last 6 weeks, and would be held during the church school hour.

The classes helped people brush up on their theology, learn about the UMC church, the local church and to learn a group of people in the church.  Many times these classes were large enough to  become a Sunday School Class.

I always used a discussion format which included:

  1. Defining of who God the creator is
  2. Defining who the Holy Spirit is
  3. Teaching them about the historical Jesus and the Theological Christ, and the origin of the name Jesus Christ.
  4. Teaching them concerning the beginnings of the church going to Reformation
  5. History of UMC and the Wesleys
  6. Introducing them to  local UMC church and officers
  7. Would never ask them to join in the group.  Always  sent them a note asking them to join, and how they would be received: letter or vow.

This method is rather simple.  Does take some dedication and a little work.  However, I preached twice every Sunday morning and taught these classes.  Tired at the end of the day … yes!  However it paid great dividends for the church and the kingdom.

Static Theology

May 17th, 2011

Are your theological interpretations of the faith growing?

For thirty  of the forty years I served the church in an appointment by Annual Conference I served on a Board of the ministry.  The responsibility of  the board was to ascertain when a candidate  was ready for ordination.  Most candidates began their seven year pilgrimage with a childhood interpretation of the faith.  Most of them grew considerably over those seven years in their theological concepts.  The reason they grew was the boards insistent on thinking theologically.  Thinking theologically means questioning what you think you believe.   Thinking people are growing, maturing individuals worthy of leadership.  Most people who move upwards in the ministry are individuals who are these maturing people.

One of the best ways to  grow is to share your thoughts on the faith with your peers.  Most of us have views of the faith that differ from each other.  In discussing our thoughts we grow.    One of the tragedies of the ministry is that we stay to busy with our work that we have little time for reflection.  Without reflection our sermons become filler material and bore our congregations to death.  More and more empty spaces appear in our sanctuaries.  In fact our churches are dying because of combination of boredom and rejection.

In challenging the minds of our people we enable their faith to become a living reality.  Several years ago I received a telephone call from an individual from a church that I had served 30  years before.  His question that he was afraid to ask his pastor was a statement  …  “Tom Jesus was not  God  … was he?”    The main who was asking this question was in his seventies.  He was the most successful businessman in town.  I knew he was always trying to figure out how to make a buck,  but I was completely surprised that he was engaged in serious theological thinking.  Undoubtedly his pastor was not because he did not feel free in asking him this question.

If you are not struggling with your theology and preaching that struggle you are cheating yourself and your congregation.  Few clergy wind up serving their seminary professors as pastor.  I had that responsibility   about 25  years into my career.  The man who taught me theology in seminary  invited me out to lunch and in our conversation shared his pleasure in finding a student of his who had taken the theological enterprise  seriously.   We spent the rest of our time together discussing our individual struggles.

When I started this blog site I had the hope that it would become a place where clergy could and would share their own struggles with the faith.  It is in sharing our differences that we grow.  Each one of us has thoughts that could help another become a stronger preacher, person, and leader in the church.

Power of Symbols

May 12th, 2011

Power of Symbols

Tom Faggart

 

Jesus wanted to announce to the people of  Israel that he was indeed the Messiah … The King of Kings and the Lord of
Lords. He could not say the words because they would be treason. He could symbolize the words. He mounted the back of a donkey, and rode into Jerusalem. The thousands stood by the way shouting their hosannas. To all the powers that existed he was saying much louder than words. … I am the King of the Jews.

He used a simple symbol to say something more powerfully than he could with a speech.  Symbols are powerful because they speak a language that circumvents the conscious mind and goes directly to our subconcious.

He wanted to teach the basic role his disciples were to assume after he was gone so He took a towel and girded himself, took a basin of water and washed the feet of his disciples. He symbolized the message that those who would follow him would be the servants of their fellow human beings. Not long after while eating the Passover Meal he took a piece of the bread off the table, blessed it, broke it and proclaimed it to symbolize his body, and told the disciples that as oft as they ate the bread to remember him. After supper he took the cup, blessed it ….called it his blood and again asked them to remember him.

On Saturday past I stood before a man and a woman, held high for all to see two rings, and stated … “The wedding ring is an outward symbol of an inward, and spiritual grace signifying to all who see it the uniting of this man and woman in holy matrimony through the church of Jesus Christ our Lord. That little band of Gold speaks loud and clear to all who see it. It is a symbol. It needs no explanation. It is an object which holds a meaning far greater than a piece of jewelry.
It states …”married”.

Symbols are as powerful today as they were 2,000 years ago.  Clergy have many symbols at their disposal to undergird and open the congregation to their ministry and leadership.  The way we dress speaks volumes about how we see our role.  The
way we dress in the pulpit states the origin of authority and from  whence it comes.   Whether we preach with manuscript,
extemporaneously, or combination causes many to think this is coming totally from  our brain, or the Spirit may be helping.
When you touch a person as you pray is symbolic.  Even the car we drive says a great deal about us.  Whether or how we engage the eyes of those with whom we speak establishes an immediate subconscious relationship and declares whether you are a follower or leader, secure or insecure. At the end of a service when people are greeting you at the door ….expressions, eye contact, handshake and movement of body away or toward you speaks to you and them.

Clergy having troubles with a congregation should immediately start checking out their subconscious body movements.

My wife and I went to visit my DS in the hospital.  As we were going down the hall our new bishop approached us, shook our hands and carried on a conversation.  When he left my wife admonished me.  You had better be careful.  You think this new bishop is
incompetent and you are telegraphing it with your whole being.  Of course, I denied it!  However, she was right. Guess how we got
along.

Clergy need to be aware of what they are symbolizing.  Consciously practice body movements that you want in the pastor you would follow.  The best place to start is looking at yourself in a full length mirror. Mirrors do not lie!  Practice presenting yourself in a leadership persona and see what happens.

Grace don’t need no help!

May 9th, 2011

Tom Faggart
Grace is an unmerited gift from God. Nothing is done to earn it. Nothing is demanded in return for it being given.  However, when it is experienced as God loving us we do our best to live as a reflection of that Grace.   We do this by sharing it in community with others.

I discovered that humans are capable of giving grace. There are three horses in the pasture where I realized this fact of grace. Two of the horses are young fat horses. One was a skinny 24 year old male. In the past couple of years he had lost most of his weight. I  started mixing his feed separate from the other two horses. His food consists of grain pellets and hay pellets that are soaked in water. When the water is applied he has 3 gallons of food to eat. I have to stay and watch over him until he finishes or the young horses will take his feed.

I got up early to feed the horses. It was 10% outside, and the wind was blowing between 5 and 10 miles an hour. It was cold, cold, cold. I fed the other two horses and took the older horse’s feed to his trough and poured it out. Czar began eating while I sat near by on a bucket with my back to the wind. Soon the other horses decided they needed Czar’s food. I ran them off and held them at bay. My ears began to hurt from the cold. I pulled up my collar, and pulled down on my boggan. My bottom became cold from the plastic bucket. I sat there cold but determined.

A questioned entered my mind … why am I sitting out here doing this? This old horse has no value. He looks bad and when people see him they think I treat my animals poorly. I have put other horses down over the years. Why not this one?

I loved ole Czar. There was no other reason. In fact, there was no other reason necessary. Being the theologian that I am an answer came from somewhere else. It was an unsolicited answer. “Tom this is the meaning of grace.” For the first time it occurred to me that humans are fully capable of this act we attribute to God. It came as a flash God has given me life out of his grace. God gives me salvation out of his grace.  He gives it because He loves us. We are His children!

Many Christians do not believe in a God of Grace. They believe God is a tough task master.  He  has to be paid for all the good he gives to us. A sacrifice is required. God requires the death of something or someone before he will act on behalf of humanity. What a sordid this Being this God would be.  The old prophet Isaiah knew better.

Isaiah 1:11-17. ”Why this frenzy of sacrifices?” God’s asking. “Don’t you think I’ve had my fill of burnt sacrifices, rams and plump grain-fed calves? Don’t you think I’ve had my fill of blood from bulls, lambs, and goats? When you come before me, who ever gave you the idea of acting like this, Running here and there, doing this and that-all this sheer commotion in the place provided for worship? Quit your worship charades. I can’t stand your trivial religious games: Monthly conferences, weekly Sabbaths, special meetings-meetings, meetings, meetings-I can’t stand one more! Meetings for this, meetings for that. I hate them! You’ve worn me out! I’m sick of your religion, religion, religion, while you go right on sinning. When you put on your next prayer-performance, I’ll be looking the other way. No matter how long or loud or often you pray, I’ll not be listening. And do you know why? Because you’ve been tearing people to pieces, and your hands are bloody. Go home and wash up. Clean up your act. Sweep your lives clean of your evildoings so I don’t have to look at them any longer. Say no to wrong. Learn to do good. Work for justice. Help the down-and-out. Stand up for the homeless. Go to bat for the defenseless.”

God give us our salvation as a gift.  It comes from his Grace.  When we experience we will respond with an unselfish act out of the goodness of  our  heart. At that point we want to love God in return.  We love God in loving others and following the teachings and example of Jesus Christ.

Thanks be to God for His Grace!  It alone is our salvation!  No atonement necessary!

When the Holy Spirit comes!

May 9th, 2011

June 11th, 2009
Most of us have been in a worship service that seemed to switch from ordinary to “wow”!

As I write this blog I am allowing my mind to wander back to such times. I remember a funeral service for the father of two teenage boys.

An old Presbyterian pastor was invited to offer a prayer. The old man talked to God and explained to him the pain of the wife, two sons, and a congregation of perplexed worshippers. The place became uncomfortably quiet, like the moments before an electrical storm and the barometric pressure falls. As my wife and I made our way to the graveside we looked at each other. Both of us had tears in our eyes, and lumps in our throats. I felt weak. I knew I had been in the presence of the almighty.

The Spirit was everywhere. I was reminded of: I Kings 19:11 “Now there was a great wind, so strong that it was splitting mountains and breaking rocks in pieces before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a sound of sheer silence.   When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. Then there came a voice to him that said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

I decided to hold a healing service in First Church. The service was being televised. No one had ever been to such a service in a staid old UMC church. I held the service because I believe God through His Holy Spirit heals people. As our liturgy says he heals our physical illnesses, relationships with God, relationships with one another, brings reconciliation within communities, within individuals with themselves, and between us and creation. I believed there were many in the congregation who would desire this healing. I blessed the oil, and issued the invitation naming the essence of healing available through the Holy Spirit. . The organist played the hymns of healing in the hymnal. Several people immediately got up and came toward the front. Before they got there the isles began to fill up. That eerie quiet noted before surrounded us all. God was there through his Spirit. The emotion which united us was total relaxation, and slow tears of joy.

The service was on TV and was recorded.  I watched the evening video of the service.  I wanted  to see if it were my imagination. The recording was as powerful as the service had been. The local public service TV station made a copy of the service and played it on Wednesday Evenings for 6 weeks.

Fifty years in the ministry have taught me that without the Spirit’s presence the church does not really exist. We are dependent upon the Spirit. Luke identified the situation in which the spirit lives … “They were all of one accord … same mind” Acts 2.

A sensitive person knows immediately upon entering a sanctuary whether the Spirit is in this place or not. One can feel it.

A ministerial colleague of mine was called back to a former church to help bury one of the saints. He said when I entered the sanctuary I felt a cold dreaded atmosphere. He said it was very difficult to perform his duties of the hour. As he was leaving the graveside with the pastor he asked Him if something was wrong in the church. We are in the midst of the bitterest fight I have ever known in a church. The Spirit had left that church. I am convinced that the Spirit’s presence is that good feeling people have when they are together to worship God.

The spirit comes when we allow the Spirit to use us. Many of us make the mistake of trying to use the spirit.

At a worship workshop many years ago the leader made a statement that has rung true to me for years. “The Spirit is in the liturgy”. Lead the worship but let the liturgy do its work. Too many feel it has to be jazzed up a bit, explained, witnessed to, or talked about. Enter it faithfully and let it do its work and you will be surprised what happens. Don’t be afraid of the quiet! As Elijah discovered God may be in the quiet moment.

As our church sociologists try to figure out what has gone wrong in the main line denominations of America. Let me suggest our problem is more spiritual than sociological. We are a dead, spiritless church. Sixty minutes of pure boredom does not fill the hungry heart, or excite one to serve God. When the spirit is present that church will grow!
