Kern Family Foundation Pastors Conference
Theme: Character Formation

July 6-7, 2010

In session two of this 4-part 2010 series, Dallas emphasizes the centrality of knowledge to the Christian life. The historical drive against this view of Christianity is part of a battle for authority over public life. We have allowed our beliefs to be treated as “just faith” and need to reclaim the importance of the knowledge of reality that is contained in the teachings of Scripture. This is where we find the best answers to the Four Great Questions. The answer to the fourth question (how to become a good person, leads into a discussion of the makeup of the human personality and where our actions come from).

The Calling and Resources of the Pastor - The Gospel and Character

Kern Family Foundation Pastors Conference

Theme: Character Formation

July 6-7, 2010

Dallas defines character as acquired essence. “It is your identity as shaped by your experiences, and especially your choices, and interaction with other people.”

The first session in this 4-part series will give us a good understanding of what character is and how it is affected by our beliefs about the essential questions that shape human life. Dallas points out that the Great Commission (Mt. 28:18-20) includes character formation: that’s what we’re doing when we make disciples and teach them to do everything Jesus said.
