I always loved this season when pastoring because families would find their way back to church a<er a Summer of frolicking. Our Sunday morning a?endance would swell by as much 20%. Times have changed and it takes about 7-8 Sundays for your folks to cycle through the church. Regular church a?endance has dropped from 70% of our populaHon in 1960 to just 20%. And now, 28% of those who were regular church a?enders (pre-COVID), have not a?ended in person or watched an online worship service even one
Let’s be a RELATIONAL Network
Our plan is to begin “A2M” before the end of the year. Let’s partner together to become the church He intends us to become. I look forward to seeing you at many of the the events spotlighted in this ediHon of The Alabama Messenger. Let’s be a RELATIONAL Network.

We are facing a crisis in America and we cannot afford to develop the “ostrich syndrome,” by burying our heads in the sand pretending nothing is wrong. We are ministering under the shadow of a civilizaHon suffering from the wounds inflicted by the shrapnel of a world pandemic. Many in leadership have spoken of a “new normal.” We are experiencing a world that has changed, and the pandemic seems to have accelerated the diminishing church a?endance trend that was already happening. The shock is that our naHon was deparHng the church. This trend has caused the church to lose its influence upon America. The Assemblies of God recently conducted new church a?endance research revealing that our naHonal fellowship has experienced a drop in a?endance and church growth. NaHonally we are seeing 18.6% of our churches growing which was 31.6% five years ago—a 13% drop. Alabama saw 14% of our churches growing in the recent report verses 26% five years ago—a 12% drop. 22.8% of naHonal AG churches were plateaued while five years ago it was only 25.3% (some plateaued moved to decline status). In Alabama we experienced 36% plateaued churches verses 37% five years ago. 58.6% of AG churches in America are declining verses 43.1% only five years ago—nearly 15% growth in declining churches. Alabama recorded 37% of our churches declining growth in declining churches. As you can see from these staHsHcs we are on a downward trend in America and our state. It is one thing to share these troubling stats and it’s another to launch a plan to a?empt to reverse them. This isn’t an Assemblies of God issue alone; other denominaHons and fellowships are facing the same dilemma. We can hide or we can choose to shine during our naHons dark season. I believe Alabama is ready to run at the enemy and reverse the trend seeing local churches become all that God intends here to become. We will begin a new iniHaHve soon that will equip our pastors and laity for ministry. It is “Acts 2 Mentoring” which is different from Acts 2 Journey. It is an equipping ministry that focuses on the local pastor creaHng a leadership pipeline in his/her church to develop leaders for lay ministry in the local church. This is New Testament!

We repeatedly see poorly educated, poorly formed ministers misunderstand and poorly preach and teach the Bible. On topics from morality, to poliHcs, to personal prophecy, to science, to wild end-Hmes speculaHons we hear all kinds of erroneous interpretaHon and bad teaching. People with an inadequate foundaHon to begin with, and who never kept growing in their formaHon and educaHon – grace and knowledge – in Jesus Christ. Instead of conHnually learning from godly, faithful, properly formed scholar-teachers, they read only those teachers who are themselves poorly taught, teachers who believe just like them.
Hmes and places. If you believe that or teach that, you directly contradict what the Bible says about itself! In 2 Peter 3:14-18 above, the apostle Peter states explicitly that some of Paul’s le?ers are hard to understand. He says this about le?ers, the easiest literature in the Bible to understand. He says this about le?ers wri?en in his readers’ own language, culture, and context. Why are they hard to understand? Why are some “teachers” twisHng or distorHng them? Because they are ignorant and unstable. Here “ignorant” means unlearned or poorly taught. These self-styled teachers had never been properly taught by others who were themselves properly taught. They had not been taught how to read and understand Paul’s le?ers, therefore they misinterpreted them. This lack of reading skills meant they were being neither well formed, nor well informed, by God’s Word. Peter says they were misreading and distorHng other Scriptures also. Therefore, their minds, their characters, their consciences were being twisted, distorted. They were “unstable,” meaning unse?led, not steadfast. Without a deep foundaHon of solid learning, they were unable to disHnguish between sound teaching and heresy, between truth and lies. Believing lies, they became increasingly lawless, resistant to authority, to sound teaching, to righteousness. They were headed for destrucHon.
Peter warned his readers to be “on guard” against unlearned, unstable teachers lest they be carried away by errors and be destroyed. He commands his readers to be alert, watchful, protecHve, tesHng the validity of all preachers and their messages. Be constantly “on guard” by always growing in the “grace and knowledge” of Christ. Peter’s readers could disHnguish truth from error, true teachers from false teachers, by being properly taught by Peter, Paul, and their students. The Apostles taught what Jesus taught, faithfully interpreHng the Old Testament as Jesus had trained them to. Peter’s readers would discern false teaching and avoid destrucHon by conHnually deepening their understanding of the Apostles’ teaching of God’s Word and Christ’s gospel.
We’ve seen it before on this issue and others. We will see it as long as God’s leaders and people permit poor formaHon and educaHon, with no conHnuing formaHon and educaHon in Word and Spirit. God commands it, it is available, affordable, but we are too proud or too lazy to receive it. Friends, more seminars on markeHng, leadership, and Pastor Wonderful’s simplisHc book-de-jour will not teach us how to correctly handle the Word of Truth, how to grow in God’s Word and Christ’s gospel. We MUST be asking God’s well-trained scholar-teachers to help us be?er handle the Word of Truth, so that we may grow in grace and knowledge, and be more effecHvely on guard against the enemy. It is a fundamental requirement for ministry. Yes, it is challenging and it stretches us, but God repeatedly commands it. Are you obeying and growing, or are you rebelling?
“Bear in mind that our Lord’s paHence means salvaHon, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. He writes the same way in all his le?ers, speaking in them of these ma?ers. His le?ers contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destrucHon. Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure posiHon. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.” Neither the Bible nor the ChrisHan church has ever taught that all Scripture is equally simple, clear, or easy to understand by all people in all

ALSOM Information
“WE HAVE HERE PERHAPS THE BEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN ON MIRACLES IN THIS OR ANY AGE.”
is a Pentecostal and a graduate of AGTS who earned a PhD at Duke University is a premier New Testament scholar. He has written over 200 articles and 25 books, including highly regarded commentaries on Matthew, John, Acts, and Galatians. Miracles grew from a footnote in Acts to what scholars are calling the best, most comprehensive book on miracles ever written. Miracles covers the entire spectrum of issues associated with claims of supernatural miracles, from those in Scripture to the present day. Keener deals with all of the philosophical objections to the possibility of miracles, as well as with the problems of false claims, psychosomatic illnesses, alternative explanations, and miracles in other religions. His research and documentation meet the highest scholarly standards, but his writing is warm and easy to Theread.author states his two part thesis early on. That thesis is that eyewitnesses do offer miracle claims beginning in the gospels and continuing to the present day, and although supernatural claims are not suitable explanations in every case, they should be fully considered as possible explanations. Keener begins by examining the ancient evidence for miracles, first with Jesus and his early followers, then among Jewish and pagan sources. He compares these, demonstrating some similarities but many differences, and revealing that the ancients were often skeptical, not gullible, about miraculous claims. Keener next deals with the anti supernatural arguments and bias so pervasive in the West since David Hume and the advent of rationalism. The author provides an extensive explanation of anti supernaturalism’s development and its effect on Western culture, including religion. He carefully explores the many weaknesses of the Humean arguments, and shows them to be based on inadequate data, personal experience, and materialistically biased presuppositions. Hume’s racism and rationalism’s ethnocentric worldview are examined and are proven completely inadequate for engaging today’s multicultural global context.
Ben Witherington III, Asbury Seminary
Miracles: The Credibility of the New Testament Accounts, 2 vols. Grand Rapids, MI: Baker, 2011, 1,172Craigpages.Keener
The author deals with theological problems related to miracles, such as the “prosperity” or “hyper faith” false teachings. He clearly affirms God’s sovereign right to grant or withhold miracles, regardless of the “faith” or “confession” of the one praying or in need. Numerous examples of unbelieving or non Christian people receiving miracles are also included. Keener consistently writes from a solid biblical, historical, and theological base. After 768 pages of amazing research, substantiated throughout with copious documentation, Keener concludes with over 400 pages of appendices, bibliography, and indices. Subjects treated there include spirit possession and exorcism in antiquity and today, and miraculous dreams and visions.
BOOK REVIEW
Michael D. Sharp, D.Min. Network Secretary Treasurer ALSOM Director
Miracles is regarded by historians and missiologists as the best book on miraculous phenomena ever written. It’s scholarly acumen, documentation, and orthodoxy guarantees its powerful impact on Western Christianity for many years. Keener has done the entire Christian Church a monumental service. Pentecostal ministers should have this amazing book in their library.
In Part 3 Keener surveys the vast amount of testimony to miracles from antiquity to the present day. His methodology is to seek reliable verification, carefully identify false claims, differentiate organic and psychosomatic diseases, and consider alternative explanations. The survey spans the entire historical and geographical expanse of Christianity, examining miracle reports from all faith traditions and from non Christian religions. The author addresses the decline in frequency of miracles once the Church is established in a region. Throughout his writing Keener interacts with primary sources, testimonies, and verifications, as well as objections or alternative explanations. One chapter organizes even more accounts according to the kinds of miracles claimed These amazing stories glorify God page after page. A final section gives detailed answers to objections offered by unbelievers, and then provides further examples of medically verified miracles from Western contexts. Keener includes his own eyewitness accounts and those of trustworthy family and friends.
The authors intended to help “serious students of God’s Word … learn how to read, interpret, and apply the Bible.” They wrote in clear, easy to grasp, non technical language that the serious layperson, pastor, or Bible college student can understand. Expert interpreters will quickly see that Duvall and Hays incorporated the very best biblical scholarship throughout the book but did so in easy to read simplified language. The authors are teachers, so they wrote with the student or reader always in mind.
BOOK REVIEW EXCELLENT HELP FOR GRASPING GOD’S WORD
Part 2 examines the all important issue of context in interpretation. We must first understand our context and how it affects our reading, then understand the critically important historical cultural and literary contexts of Scripture, in order to read the Bible correctly. If we fail in this, we can never fully understand what God’s Word is saying. The authors explain how to do this with word studies and different Bible translations.
“The best thing you can ever do for yourself as a believer is spend the time and do the work it takes to truly read, interpret, and live the Bible well. The best thing you can do for others is to lead them to do the same. Sadly, very few believers are willing to do that. You see this in the weakness of the Church.” Of several recent books written to help us read and interpret the Bible well, Grasping God’s Word is one of the best. It is now the hermeneutics textbook of choice in some of our Assemblies of God universities. The authors, J. Scott Duvall and Daniel Hays, are well qualified and experienced scholars and teachers of Scripture at a conservative Baptist university. Their fundamental assumption in writing this book was that “the Bible is the inspired and authoritative Word of God.”
Part 4 takes everything learned to this point and uses it to travel the interpretive journey through the New Testament. The New Testament letters, gospels, Acts, and Revelation are all examined, and their meanings determined and explained.Part5 does this for the Old Testament as well. We’re led through Old Testament narrative, Law, poetry, prophets, and wisdom. All of the books within each genre are read and interpreted.
Grasping God’s Word covers all major issues in Biblical interpretation, explains why various bad Bible reading habits are dangerous, and uses examples from every biblical genre. Solid Bible reading principles are applied throughout. The most common mistakes in reading Scripture are examined and the dangerous results pointed out. The authors write in a very readable style. This is one of the simplest, easiest to read, yet most comprehensive hermeneutics textbooks you’ll ever see. Whether you’re a layperson or a minister, I encourage you to buy a copy of Grasping God’s Word and put its wisdom into practice. It is a joy to read and use.
Grasping God’s Word is even organized in such a way that readers begin learning and applying important reading principles immediately. Part 1 begins by examining the journey we take from the biblical text to our own day and our own lives. That journey begins by determining what a Bible passage meant to its original biblical audience, discerning the differences between their situation and our current situation (the distance across the river that separates us), identifying similarities between their situation and our own, and determining what principles the original author intended to teach that could be applied to our similar situations. This process or journey will be repeated each time Duvall and Hays take us through a book of the Bible. Part 1 continues by teaching us how to read sentences, how to read paragraphs, and how to read discourses that we will find throughout Scripture.
Part 3 explores the topics of meaning and application. Duvall and Hays explain the dangers of forcing our own meanings into the text. Legitimate and illegitimate “levels of meaning” are carefully considered, as is the proper role of the Holy Spirit in helping us find the meaning. The authors then define the important difference between meaning and application, and how to move from the former to the latter.
