Our feeling is one of joy and exultation in the Lord as we offer you Issue 70 of the Lessons from the Word of God Series, titled "Pillars of Practical Theology."

"Practical Theology" consists of the systematic division of theological knowledge to clarify its different areas of approach. In other words, it is the study of matters related to the Divine, aiming to make it applicable to the everyday life of the church.

In this magazine, students and professors will delve into various topics that encompass the entire biblical knowledge, such as the contingencies and challenges of pastoral and diaconal ministry, the importance of disciplines like exegesis, hermeneutics, and homiletics for strengthening faith, the specifics of Christian leadership, the purpose of discipleship, and the care for the temple of the Holy Spirit in times of liquid modernity, the interconnections between the Old and New Testaments, the ministries and ordinances of the church, as well as their practical applications. And last but not least, the implications of the gifts bestowed by God upon His servants.

May this magazine clarify your doubts, broaden your understanding, and edify your life.

(...) And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and your gates.
