Theomin

The term Theomin is a hybrid of theology and ministry showing the correlation of correct theology and personal ministry. Since the first is a prerequisit and the second is an outcome, we purpose to develop biblical themes on a weekly bases and describe ministry both on a personal and pastoral level daily.

Wilberforce on the Economic Crisis

DateSat, February 21, 2009 at 10:47AM

“As of late, in a season of war, we were called on to exercise the virtues of adversity, and to resist that despondency and dismay which the exigence of a affairs might tend to produce in us, so let us now guard against the still more formidable dangers of prosperity, and be diligent in practicing the virtues for which it calls. Let us be humble and sober-minded, thankful for the blessings we enjoy, and conscious how little we have deserved them. Let us beware of the too ordinary effects of increasing wealth and luxury, in producing a haughty, profane, inconsiderate spirit, in the highest degree hateful to that God, ‘who scatters the proud in the imagination of their hearts.’

- William Wilberforce in A Retrospect of the Year 1801 (1802)
