Thomas Edison, the man credited with inventing the modern incandescent light bulb, tried over 6,000 different materials for the filament before he settled on the one that would burn for 1,500 hours and give off 16 watts of light. Which filament did he eventually settle on? The last one – the one that worked!

William Carey was a cobbler of no particular academic merit, yet after years of trying to get to India to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and hurdling the many roadblocks that were placed before him by the Hyper-Calvinists of his day, he finally made it. While waiting to go he taught himself Hebrew and Greek, and while in India translated portions of the Word of God into over 20 languages and dialects. When asked about his spiritual gift he said, “I can plod.”

As we have spoken to pastors and elders who are part of churches that have made a move away from the PCUSA and into the New Wineskins Presbytery of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, or into their geographic EPC presbytery, we have repeatedly asked, “what would you do differently?” The typical response is, “If only I had known….” There is no perfect way to make the transition out of the PCUSA. There is only the way that works, much like Edison’s light bulb. There is no simple way to transition out of the PCUSA, so we must be ready to act when others think we should wait and be ready to plod along slowly with our eyes fixed on the goal.

January 4, 2008

I don’t get it.

Heartland Presbytery approved three motions. First, it removed the Rev. Kirk Johnston from its rolls, making him no longer a Presbyterian Church (USA) minister. That’s draconian.

Second, it deleted the just-removed Rev. Johnston from its rolls again, just for good measure, I suppose. Isn’t that like killing a man twice? Once would seem overly sufficient to me.

Third – and this one makes no sense whatsoever – Heartland Presbytery voted that “any further pastor or ministerial activities by A. Kirk Johnston (G-6.0200) in connection with ‘Lighthouse Presbyterian Church of Paola’ or any other worshipping community within the geographic bounds of Heartland Presbytery – including, but not limited to, preaching, leading worship, or the administration of the sacraments of baptism or the Lord’s Supper – is disapproved.”
