LTTS Academic Submission Guidlines

There is a wealth of knowledge in the Church and the internet has given us unprecedented access to that knowledge base. At LTTS Academic we want to help share the great work that our brothers and sisters in Christ are accomplishing in the area of theological thought and research. Furthermore, I don't know about you, but I would hate to think that all that hard work I did in school spending hours upon hours researching, and days upon days writing papers would only land them in a filing cabinet in the back of the closet. Our hope is that this place can become an outlet for some of that hard work in researching and writing. Your paper may be completely independent of school work, or it may be a term paper for your Systematic Theology class. Either way, we invite you to join this database of Christian knowledge.

If you are interested in submitting a paper for consideration please follow these guidelines:

1. Please read our statement of faith found here and make sure that we are basically in agreement on core doctrine. Disagreements about secondary doctrines should never quench theological discussion, but if we are going to promote a paper we feel the author should at least agree on some core beliefs.

2. Please review your paper for grammar, spelling, etc. It is always a good idea to have someone else read over it to catch those kinds of mistakes. Of course, if it has already been submitted to an instructor this should already have happened.

3. Submit your paper in MS Word and make sure we can edit the paper. The only editing we will do is formatting it to be uniform with all of our other papers. We are NOT going to edit for content, etc.

4. We prefer Chicago style citations. If your paper is footnoted we can easily convert them to endnotes when we format it for publication.

5. There is no word-count minimum or maximum.

NOTE: You will retain all the rights to your paper. If you would like it removed at any time you may request that it be taken down. This is YOUR material! LTTS Academic only reserves the right to format it and place it at our discretion on the website.

Characteristics of a Godly Watchman Pt. 1: Vigilance

It may be something as mundane as the alarm clock every morning that tells us it is time to get up and get ready for work, or it may be something as frightening as a fire alarm. No matter what the specific purpose of the alarm they all share one common theme: they are meant to alert people and warn them of impending danger.   In Joel 2:1 the Lord commands the prophet to; Blow a trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm on My holy mountain because the day of the Lord is coming. That is, God’s judgment is coming upon Israel for their sinfulness. Further along in the chapter, in verse 15, Joel is again commanded to blow a trumpet but this time it is to call the assembly of the people together so that they can, consecrate a fast . This tells us two important things about the role, or the duty, of the prophet of God. First, it tells us that the prophet is to act as an alarm to warn the people of God’s coming judgment. Seco

Characteristics of a Godly Watchman Pt. 2: Listening.

In this short phrase I believe we find the second crucial characteristic of a godly watchman: listening. If we understand our duty to be warning God’s people and acting as “voices crying out in the wilderness” then it only makes sense that we must take time to listen for the message that God is trying to get across. For me, as a preacher, this is sometimes difficult because I love to talk. However, if I am faithfully going to communicate the message God has for His people then I must discipline myself to be still before God and hear His voice.             One of my hobbies is amateur radio and with that I am able to talk to peo

Characteristics of a Godly Watchman Part 3: Holy Anger.

When we look at the pantheon of Christian virtues holy anger is probably one that most people miss, or have a hard time placing alongside things like meekness, love, generosity, patience and peace. I freely admit that the Bible is full of admonitions to not be angry. Ephesians 4:26 tells us not to let the sun go down on our anger. Colossians 3:8 tells us to put it aside, and James 1:19 explains that we should be slow to anger. However, I firmly believe that anger coming from the right place, in the right time, for the right purpose is a powerful characteristic of a godly watchman. Look again at Ephesians 4:26 it says, Be angry, and yet do not sin ; do not let the sun go down on your anger. Equally as clear as the instruction to deal with anger before the sun goes down is the statement, "Be angr
