New England Pastor: January 2012
http://newenglandpastor.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 31, 2012. Is the Only Difference the Sabbath? There has been quite a reaction in the last couple of days within the Adventist community about the latest episode of Family Guy. In which Seventh-day Adventists are briefly discussed. You can watch the link below:. I know most Seventh-day Adventists recognize that there are other differences, of course, but these are "minor" differences. Our basic understanding of the gospel, salvation, grace, and so forth, is essentially the same as tha...

New England Pastor: A Salvation Parable
http://newenglandpastor.blogspot.com/2012/06/salvation-parable.html
Thursday, June 21, 2012. Throughout the year, both fathers worked extra hours to earn enough money. They denied themselves personal pleasure - all for the sake of acquiring the one goal towards which they were working. When Christmas morning came, each father had butterflies. They were so excited about the joy they would surely see on the faces of each of their sons. As the first father handed the small box to his son, unable to contain his excitement, he joyfully explained how exciting the gift was....

Tuesday, April 3, 2012. More Grace-Oriented Than Jesus. While searching through the archives of our magazine. New England Pastor , I came across this editorial I wrote in May 2009. I thought it might scratch where someone is itching today. Scriptures taken from the New King James Version. Herbert E. Douglass, Should We Ever Say, “I Am Saved”? Nampa, Idaho: Pacific Press, 2003), 71. See 2 Corinthians 3:18. April 3, 2012 at 3:14 PM. What did I owe and why? How can the seeker understand the indescribable gr...

New England Pastor: May 2012
http://newenglandpastor.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 19, 2012. This is My Home. Maybe I am just feeling a little nostalgic right now, having enjoyed another beautiful Sabbath in northern New England, but it is hard to underestimate the significance of one, seemingly mundane decision. Eighteen years ago this summer, I made a decision that would change the course of my life.

New England Pastor: July 2012
http://newenglandpastor.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 1, 2012. Pastor: Preacher or Comedian? I made a decision some time ago that when I am preaching, I want to give the audience less of me and more of Jesus. I certainly have not arrived yet, of course. I know that, far too often, there is still a lot of Shawn and little of Jesus. When this happens, though, the focus turns away from Christ and onto me.
