Monthly Archives: September 2008
MDR: Luke 16
The final Gospel passage regarding divorce is Luke 16:18 – “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.” Edwards points out that the original Greek in this … Continue reading
MDR: Mark 10
Mark 10 includes another version of the events recorded in Matthew 19. 1 Jesus then left that place and went into the region of Judea and across the Jordan. Again crowds of people came to him, and as was his … Continue reading
American Megachurches: Finances
No church leaders will be surprised to learn that contributions in megachurches are essentially flat from 2005 — even a little down when adjusted for inflation — meaning that more churches are feeling the pinch. Even the largest churches have … Continue reading
American Megachurches: Vision
Megachurches have always been marked by a strong sense of mission and purpose. That has only become more so –
MDR: Matthew 19, Part 3 (Does God recognize an unscriptural divorce?)
We need to review a critical point here. Many have contended that in the absence of fornication a couple cannot be divorced in the eyes of God. But note carefully the words of the Savior: 6 “So they are no … Continue reading
American Megachurches: Small Groups
Another aspect of congregational life that has dramatically changed in the past 8 years is the increasing emphasis on small groups. While small groups have always been seen as important to megachurches, they haven’t always been central to how many … Continue reading

MDR: Matthew 19, Part 2 (Pastoral concerns)
And so, should elders attempt to compel a divorce by a husband and wife who have wrongfully broken up a marriage to get married? I don’t think so. Two wrongs don’t make a right. The marriage having been made, it … Continue reading
MDR: Matthew 19, Part 1 (exegesis)
As mentioned earlier, the other frequently cited divorce passage in the Gospels is Matthew 19:1-12: 1 When Jesus had finished saying these things, he left Galilee and went into the region of Judea to the other side of the Jordan. … Continue reading
American Megachurches: Radio and television
Modes of interaction and publicity with the broader relationship to the public have also shifted in 8 years according to our research findings. In 2000, 44% of megachurches reported having a radio ministry and 38% a television ministry. However, in … Continue reading
