Journal of Modern Ministry covers a wide spectrum of topics that are applicable to anyone wishing to pursue good Christian living. Highly accessible to all, this journal contains practical information on all aspects of life, as well as a vast array of theological materials.
Founded by senior writer Dr. Jay Adams, the Journal of Modern Ministry was first published in May 2004 with two issues, and continued in 2006 with three issues planned each year. The extraordinary group of ministering author-editors involved in this journal also solicit articles from the finest men known today for their uncompromising biblical emphasis, and receive from lesser known writers articles they believe worthy of publication.
Thumbing through stacks and stacks of journals is now a thing of the past. You will no longer need to search hundreds of pages of print to find an article on the topic you were looking for, because Logos Bible Software will do the work for you instantaneously. Whether you are a pastor, scholar, counselor, or are simply wishing to advance your knowledge of Godly living, Journal of Modern Ministry in Logos is exactly what you need in order to assist you in your ministry.

“Here’s the main reason why seeker sensitivity and sound doctrine must ultimately and inevitably clash: Because the Gospel itself is a stumbling block; an offense to unbelievers and the unchurched. We can’t make our message palatable to everyone and maintain its purity at the same time.” (Page 33)
“Open Theism, there are three which I would like to address: (1) it provides no foundation from which to rightly understand God’s character and works; (2) it gives no ultimate sense to a world of sin and evil; (3) and it brings no lasting comfort to the believer.” (Page 41)
“And those churches held up as examples tend to be the ones whose ministries have been molded and shaped by pragmatic philosophies of church growth … where it is truth versus technique and truth is losing out.” (Page 32)
“Note, the three things necessary are Truth, leading to Life, which in turn leads to Ministry.” (Page 9)
“Let’s face it: pragmatism is a significant change in direction for evangelical Christianity. Until the last part of the Twentieth Century, virtually all the great churches since the Protestant Reformation deemed great and worthy of emulation were primarily so because they had great pulpits. They were primarily known for their great preaching. Some were large churches like Spurgeon’s Metropolitan Tabernacle in London, or Barnhouse’s Tenth Presbyterian in Philadelphia.” (Page 32)
