And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed,who was with child. And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swad-dling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.

And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. And the angel said to them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger." And sud-denly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,

"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!" (Luke 2:4-14)

It is hard to believe that December is already here! As we prepare for the Christmas holiday season, I want to challenge you to remember that the truest Christmas observance is sacred and not worldly. Christmas has many symbols and traditions. Everyone enjoys decorating the Christmas tree, going to parties and finishing their shopping lists. And what joy these traditions bring, because they stir our spirits as we anticipate the things to come! Even in my own family we have traditions for the Christmas season, and we treasure them dearly. Yet, as Christians we have different symbols that help prepare our hearts to celebrate the birth of Jesus: the three Magi and their gifts, the Star of Bethlehem, the angels, the manger, the shepherds, and the Virgin Mary.

From the star we learn the importance of direction. The wisemen came from the East, because they saw His Star. They made a journey of faith asking “Where is he that is born King of the Jews? (Matt 2:2) Do our lives shine bright as the star did that night and lead people towards the one who lay in a manger?

The angels announced his arrival to the entire world saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth good will toward men” (Luke 2:14) Will you tell the news of Christ’s birth this Christmas season just as the angels did so long ago?

The shepherds followed the angels’ direction: they did not tarry, nor did they question, but “They came with haste and found Mary, and Joseph and the Babe” (Luke 2:17). The shepherds faithfully witnessed what they saw. “They made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child” (Luke 2:17). The shepherds returned home with a song of praise in their hearts and on their lips, “glorifying and praising God for all things that they had heard and seen” (Luke 2:20). Will this Christmas time be the time when you put your faith in Jesus like never before and have your life be transformed?

The Magi came searching and found a humble King. “And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshipped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.” (Matt 2:11) Gold to honor the King, frankincense to worship the King, myrrh to identify with pain and sorrow of the King. While they were ordinary and yet expected gifts for a king, they were gifts of the very best. When you come before the Savior, do you bow and worship Him? Do you offer your most precious treasures?

May everything about this Christmas season make you say with the wisemen, “Where is the one who has been born King of the Jews? We saw His star in the East and have come to worship Him” (Matt. 2:2).

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

A Message From Your Dean

Page 6: Escalate Winter 2011-2012

Professors Travel to San Francisco, CA Each November, theologians from across the country gather together for three days of lectures, presentations, and discussions at the annual Evangelical Theological Society (ETS) meeting. This year marked the 63rd annual meeting of ETS. It was held from November 16-18, 2011 at the San Francisco Marriott Marquis, in San Francisco, CA. As members of ETS, professors have the opportunity to present their research and contribute to the ongoing discussion and publication of evangelical issues at the scholarly level. This year the Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary was represented by six professors, who covered a wide range of topics in their fields of study.

Dr. Charlie Davidson presented on the “Repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” Policy - The Major Effects and What This Means for Evangelical Military Chaplains,” Dr. David Hirschman presented “Helping Seminary Students Develop Theological Positions for Pastoral Ministry,” Dr. Ed Smither spoke on “The ‘Bauer thesis’ and North African Christianity,” Dr. Leo Percer addressed the “Confidence in Christ and the Sin Unto Death—When Should a Believer Not Pray (1 John 5:13-21),” Dr. Gary Yates presented “The OT and the Problem of Divine Initiative and Human Response in the Restoration of Israel,” Dr. Gary Habermas shared on "Thoughts on Antony Flew, Skepticism, and Friendship with Unbelievers."

Confidence in Christ and the Sin Unto Death— When Should a Believer Not Pray (1 John 5:13-21) Dr. Leo Percer

The issue of assurance or confidence in knowing about eternal life is a constant theme in 1 John. John consistently emphasizes the reality of salvation as coming through only one sources—the incarnate Jesus, God in the flesh. This relationship with the incarnate God creates confidence in the life of the believer to the degree that he or she has a reasonable expectation that God will hear and respond to the believer’s prayers. In chapter 5:13-21, however, John seems to raise an issue with this view by discussing a situation in which believers should not pray for others—when those others have committed the “sin unto death.” John’s exclusive gospel seems challenged here if John is asking believers to avoid praying for other believers who have committed the “sin unto death.” A consideration of the context of John’s brief epistle may yield clues to understanding this topic in a way that keeps confidence intact while challenging the attitudes and actions of the false teachers mentioned in 1 John.

Helping Seminary Students Develop Theological Positions for Pastoral Ministry Dr. David W. Hirschman

Seminary students preparing for pastoral ministry must develop theological positions on a host of topics and issues they will likely face in their future roles. These positions must be well-researched, reasoned, challenged, tested, refined, and finally, embraced before students assume positions of responsibility to ensure they are at least informed and functionally equipped to address areas of potential confusion or conflict. The process of developing theological positions begins with an exhaustive examination of Scripture, supplemented with careful research utilizing scholarly sources, along with a review of the various historical influences developed over the course of Church history. An illustration of the benefits of this approach may be seen in an examination of the Lord’s Supper, where the primary text used in pastoral ministry (1 Corinthians 11:23-34), provides significant information, yet fails to answer all questions that may be asked of the topic. In this passage, nothing is said regarding the frequency of the observance, nor of certain aspects of qualified participants (does baptism play a role, may children participate), nor yet of who may be qualified to oversee/serve the observance. These, along with a number of other significant areas require seminary students preparing for pastoral ministry to develop scripturally strong and reliable theological positions.

Professor Published in Research Institute’s Journal Dr. C. Fred Smith, Associate Professor of Theology and Biblical Studies in the Seminary was recently published in the Journal for Baptist Theology and Ministry. The journal is a publication out of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, Baptist Center for Theology and Ministry (BCTM). The BTCM’s goal is to exist and provide theological and ministerial resources that connect academia, ministers, and laymen in teaching the biblical principles applicable to life. See excerpt below.

PHILOSOPHICAL PERSPECTIVES ON INERRANCY

C. Fred Smith, Ph.D.

Dr. Smith is Associate Professor of Theology and Biblical Studies at Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary

Lynchburg, Virginia

Behind every broad movement within Christianity lies an understanding of what the Bible is and how it functions in the community of faith. Scripture is determinative for where one stands on a host of doctrinal and theological questions. This especially is true for evangelicals who have defended the Trinity, the virgin birth of Christ, the Resurrection and the bodily return of Christ on the basis that they are revealed in the Bible. The commitment to Scripture as God’s revelation has kept evangelicals on solid ground for these and a host of other doctrines. Indeed, as Francis Schaeffer said, “Evangelicalism is not consistently evangelical unless there is a line drawn between those who take a full view of Scripture and those who do not.”1

Maintaining a commitment to inerrancy must be a priority if evangelicalism is to continue to uphold truth. In the nineteenth century, the nature of Scripture was examined extensively by John Bascom2 and William Sanday3. After this, little attention was given to Scripture by philosophers of religion until the 1930s, when their focus turned to the examination of language itself. A survey of the literature in the field over the past two or three generations makes this clear. Emil Brunner in his book The Philosophy of Religion from the Standpoint of Protestant Orthodoxy4gave revelation a central place, but rejected the idea of seeing revelation in terms a divine book, something fixed, timeless, and enscripturated….

Center for Worship Named 'Best of the Best' Liberty University’s Center for Worship has been selected as one of the top worship training programs in the United States by Worship Leader magazine.

Liberty is featured as an Editor’s Pick in the magazine’s “Best of the Best” issue, released on Friday.

“We picked Liberty University based upon several hundred programs worldwide as the number one,” said Dr. Charles Fromm, publisher and Editor in Chief.

Fromm, former owner of the first major church-based Christian record label, Maranatha! Music, was a guest lecturer at the Center for Worship last week.

Worship Leader surveys worship leaders and media teams around the world for the annual issue, which includes the top picks in music, software, books, and other worship resources.

“I think it’s a terrific honor for Liberty University and for our alumni. It ensures for the students that we are offering them quality,” said Dr. Vernon Whaley, Director of the Center for Worship.

The Elephant Room The Elephant Room features blunt conversations between seven influential pastors who take differing approaches to ministry. No keynotes. No canned messages. These are “the conversations you never thought you’d hear.” All conversations are moderated by James MacDonald of Harvest Bible Chapel and Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church. According to MacDonald and Driscoll, the Elephant Room is more than an event. It is the outgrowth of an idea, the idea that the best way forward for the followers of Jesus lies not in crouching behind walls of disagreement but in conversation among all kinds of leaders about what the Scriptures actually teach. We must insist on the biblical gospel, right doctrine, and practice, but not isolate ourselves from relationship even with those who believe much differently. This idea spurs conversations about the most Christ honoring ways of building a church. The goal is unity, however true unity cannot be fashioned in pretense or denial of truth nor can it be won among those who prefer sectarianism to the unity Jesus prayed for. To advance Christ’s call to unity we must do what men have always done: we must push and prod and challenge and sharpen each other’s beliefs and methods. Fidelity and fruitfulness—both matter. No one has a corner on the truth, and methods must do more than “work.” The goal for the Elephant Room is to create a center, a place where everything the Bible demands becomes the expected. At The Elephant Room, look for guests from different places and belief systems. Don’t be surprised if you hear a conversation with someone that offends you or denies the faith as you see it. Don’t be shocked if you hear conversations with world religion leaders, or criminals or sinners of every variety, “such were some of us.” If the conversation can be helpful, clarifying, insistent or illuminating, or if we hope it will be . . . you will find it in The Elephant Room.

This coming January 25th at Bruner Hall, Liberty University simulcasts live The Elephant Room 2 event! Anyone who attends will have the rare opportunity of hearing live discussions between some of the world’s leading evangelical pastors. Round two features: James MacDonald, Mark Driscoll, T.D. Jakes, Jack Graham, Steven Furtick, Crawford Loritts and Wayne Cordeiro. These men will be discussing what the Bible really teaches about subjects like breaking down racial barriers in the Church, moral failure of pastors and church staff, missions through local churches vs. mission agencies, major and minor doctrines, a faithful presentation of the gospel, and more. Take a look at one of the topics to be discussed at the event: What are the ‘majors’ of Christian doctrine that cannot be diluted or denied for a person to be a Christian? How can we help one another move beyond the bare minimum of accepted belief, to a pursuit of robust, soul-satisfying, biblical substance? How should we relate to those who do not yet embrace the benefit and priority of sound biblical doctrine? Is there a difference between a person in error and a wolf in sheep’s clothing? What benefits derive from keeping the majors on a separate list and not letting the ‘minors’ divide us? Is it possible to love the truth without compromise and still work passionately for unity? MARK DRISCOLL & T.D. JAKES | Moderated by James MacDonald The event is from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in Thomas Road’s fellowship hall (Bruner Hall) where lunch is included. The cost for students is $20 (which is a steal!) so make sure you reserve your seat now because they are limited!

Law School Wins in Final Minutes of Game

On November 12, at 12:00 p.m. at Williams Stadium, the Liberty University School of Law and Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary to engage in much anticipated combat for bragging rights of the Fourth Annual Turkey Bowl. Throughout the game, the fans were entertained by sports commentary provided up in the box and were taught a new word of the day:

J –U- D -G –M- E –N- T.

Coming on the field with the beloved golden turkey, the seminary was chomping at the bit to retain the treasured symbol of glorious victory! However, after leading 28-14 heading into the final quarter the law school’s redemption came with two touchdowns and a two-point conversion.

Following the game, the fans and participants of law school and seminary gathered for a chili cook-off, with record breaking entries of 30+ chili dishes.

For the past four years, the real winner of the epic battle has been the Liberty Godparent Home, as thousands of dollars have been raised to support the ministry. This year close to 1500 dollars were raised through ticket sales and t-shirt sales. This year a new winner was added to the roster: Lighthouse

Ministries. During the week leading up to the Turkey Bowl a canned food drive competition was held to help stock the food pantry for Lighthouse. Thanks to the assistance of Seminary Professor, Dr. David Wheeler and the efforts of his evangelism 101 class, the seminary raised over 3,000 cans of food. The Law School just couldn’t compare; however, they did raise $197.00 dollars during the week and all will be presented to LH in the near future.

T-shirts are still available for sale @ $10.00 a piece. All proceeds go towards the Liberty Godparent home.

So until next year……. Enjoy the trophy while you can Law School.

STUDENTS ASSIST IN DISASTER RELIEF

By: Erin McDaniel 12/17/2011

Earlier this semester, seminary students and undergraduate students joined forces and headed to

Binghamton, New York to assist in the disaster relief efforts following Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. During the trip, students mudded out over 65 homes in neighborhoods damaged by the storms floods. Dr. David Wheeler said that “this was record breaking efforts. The efforts of the students worked twice as fast than most could ever expect. The trips were a huge success.”

When the storms hit, the Southern Baptist Convention National Disaster Relief sector put out a request for disaster relief teams to head to Binghamton. In response to the request, Mark Gauthier, State Disaster Relief Director for the SBC of Virginia, contacted Dr. David Wheeler about the need.

Dr. Wheeler serves as the Director of the Center for Ministry Training, professor of evangelism and NAMB missionary liaison at Liberty. In true Dr. Wheeler fashion, he approached his students and requested volunteers. There was an overwhelming response and in a 48 hour period over 300 students were trained for the trip to New York.

In an article by Mitzi Bible/Liberty University News Service published on 9/29/2011, Dr. Wheeler is quoted as stating this to his students: “This is the heartbeat of Liberty University; this is what we’re about – helping people, taking the gospel into the world…. I saw students upset because they couldn’t go [on the first trip]. We had one girl who gave up her spot and she was crying. I was thinking, ‘You’re crying because you can’t go for five days to shovel mud?’ That speaks a whole lot about the value our students put on serving others.”

On Friday Oct 21, 2011 Mark Gauthier, presented Chancellor and President Jerry Falwell, Jr. with a letter and plaque in commemoration of Liberty’s participation in the disaster relief effort. After short video presented to the student body at large, Gauthier stated that beyond what was shown in the video, students held worship services and shared their faith freely with families.

This is the first time Liberty has partnered with Disaster Relief to send volunteers. Disaster Relief is the country’s third largest disaster relief organization next to the Salvation Army and the American Red Cross.

COMING HOME – One Student's Journey

As the lights came on Sunday evening at Grove Avenue Baptist Church in Richmond, Virginia, there was excitement in the air. Many pastors, church staff members, and lay leaders had gathered for the Southern Baptist Conservatives of Virginia's (SBCV) 15th Annual Homecoming to reconnect with partners in ministry and to rejuvenate spiritually. One such pastor traveled over 840 miles to experience a true “Homecoming." Dr. Jeffrey Pinder, a recent Doctor of Ministry graduate from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary, had been invited by the SBCV to present his book at a book-signing table near the LifeWay display. Jeffrey Pinder had been working as an interim pastor at a small rural church in Louisa County while pursuing his degree. Shortly after his first class, questions regarding his dissertation topic surfaced. In order to explore topics of interest, Jeffrey met with Dr. Elmer Towns at a local restaurant. The conversation, guided by Dr. Towns,

soon turned to the history of the SBCV. With a small outline and a few key names jotted down on a piece of paper, Jeffrey left that lunch full and yet hungry to begin diving into the research. He contacted Doyle and Sharon Chauncey who gave him permission to delve into files and notes that had been accumulated over the past thirteen years. By telephone and personal letters, Jeffrey contacted each person in order to conduct interviews over the next several months. He traveled extensively from the beaches of Virginia all the way to West Virginia. Each interview incorporated many of the same questions, which took twists and turns based on the varying personalities of each of the men. After fourteen interviews and numerous hours of painstaking fact-finding and figure crunching, the dissertation began to look more like a book. Very early in the dissertation process, Dr. Carl Diemer and Dr. David Wheeler, mentor and first reader respectively, began realizing the timeliness and potential audience for this work. Complete dedication to detail and a great passion for the SBCV surfaced in each page of his writing. Shortly after completing his doctorate, Jeffrey contacted Dr.

Page 15: Escalate Winter 2011-2012

Paige Patterson, President, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, seeking his advice and direction concerning publication of the work. Dr. Patterson agreed to write the foreword to the work and directed him to the Innovo Publishing. The work also received other endorsements from men such as: Dr. Johnny Hunt, Dr. Gene Mimms, and Dr. Danny Akin. Excitement mounted as the May 2011 release date drew near. It became apparent that God's blessing of the historical work had arrived just in time for the 15 anniversary of the SBCV. Being faithful to the Lord in pursuit of a degree, had resulted in an added blessing of an historical document. Jeffrey is grateful to Liberty University and to the SBCV for the opportunity to pursue the D.Min. degree for God's glory. It is his desire for the book to help others to realize that many faithful men and women forged a godly SBCV heritage by their willingness to stand on biblical principles, the inerrancy of the Scriptures, and personal convictions. Forged by Conviction: An Historical Overview of the Southern Baptist Conservatives of Virginia is available at Amazon.com or Innovopublishing.com

DOCTOR OF MINISTRY PROGRAM Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary incorporated the Doctor of Ministry as a professional degree for men and women in ministry who seek to further their education. The DMin program consists of thirty-three semester hours composed of eight intensive courses, two writing courses, and one defense course. All instructional courses are taught as one-week intensives on the beautiful campus at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. After an intensive, students complete additional course assignments that are due by the end of that particular semester. This flexible structure allows active D.Min. students to enroll in a doctoral program without neglecting the ongoing needs of their field of ministry. There are five diverse program concentrations, which allow the D.Min. student to gain even further knowledge in his or her specific ministry setting. These concentrations (Evangelism and Church Planting, Expository and Evangelistic Preaching, Leadership and Management, Pastoral Care and Counseling, and Worship) are the make-up of the program’s objective to offer courses that are on the forefront of academic excellence, on-hands practical training, and that strengthen spiritual growth. Because D.Min. students serve in full-time ministry, they research and write a thesis project built on the personal knowledge and skills acquired in ministry and in the doctoral program. Every D.Min. student completes a Thesis Project that requires two semesters of writing and research, and one semester of preparation for the oral defense. D.Min. students engage in a learning community committed to equipping others for effective ministry. LBTS’ goal is for students to complete the program with a rejuvenated perspective and knowledge for affecting the world for the kingdom of God through an invigorated commitment to serve and an expanded knowledge of approaches for personal and church cultivation and care.

Without actions words are meaningless. The same is true for ministry. You can talk about it, study it, and theorize all you want, but until it’s put into action, it’s not worth the paper on which it’s printed. That’s why the Center for Ministry Training exists. We take academics beyond the classroom. The CMT is the heart of the seminary; it is where knowledge is put into motion. We train leaders: people who are willing to risk; people who are not satisfied unless they have turned the world upside down; people who will take the gospel to the people who are dying to hear it...or die trying.

are the faces of CMT

The 2011-2012 Academic Year brought change to the Campus of Liberty University and the Center for Ministry Training was a part of that. This past May, the CMT bid adieu to four staff members as they graduated and moved on to reach the world beyond LU. Ryan Jones, former coordinator for Church Planting and SSGA president, took a position at Thomas Road Baptist Church as the Director for the Liberty Church Planting Network. Darby Jurls and Val LaScola have relocated to Raleigh, North Carolina to plant a church with the Triangle Church Planting Network, under the direction of Jimmy Carroll. Their replacements in CMT were subjected to grueling interviews:
