Bill Brewbaker, Dave Michelson, and I are teaching a Sunday School Class on Soul Care. Here's the last installment on exactly what soul care entails from a Reformed perspective. When I hear the word 'reformed,' three words come to my mind. They come from one of the five trustworthy statements of the Pastoral Epistles: "God saves sinners." This statement summarizes in a nutshell the essence of what it means to be reformed. This truth not only energizes us for ministry and service in Christ's church but also for a lifetime of walking with Jesus.

Much of this is not original with me, but comes from a friend by the name of Hughes Oliphant Old whose magnum opus is a six volume treatise on The Reading and Preaching of the Scriptures in the History of the Christian Church.
