    "i Will Be Diligent: Part 2" Series

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 23, 2020
     | 3,633 views

    The man of God is to not follow trends, fads, feelings, what people would like to hear, or preach messages that make them feel "good", but instead preach the Gospel without compromise or apology and to stay committed no matter what happens.

    The previous message based on 2 Timothy began with the definition of diligence. It means being constant in your efforts, finish what you started, stay committed to the task and not quit or become distracted. Preparation and thought are a part of this process. Never start anything without going ...read more

    What Does The Contract Say?

    You better not rewrite it. The better you know it the better it is for you and those you impact.

    When I was training to be a Contract Specialist in South Carolina, my mentor, Art Nalley, always stressed one thing. “What does the contact say?’ That was second only to “Don’t worry about the mule going blind just load the wagon” when the workload was intense. That is a Mississippi adage. ...read more

    Most of us refer to ourselves as being “NORMAL.”

    It must be nice in this life when someone can be more than a NORMAL PERSON and become an “EXCEPTIONAL” PERSON. That is, when normal people die the preachers who do the eulogy can pretty much sum up their entire lives in 15 to 30 minutes. When the funeral is finished the family and friends can ...read more

    2 Timothy 2:14-19 shows us several ways a worker is approved by God.

    Introduction One fall, at the first church I served, I attended a men’s retreat. About 175 men from several churches in the district attended the weekend retreat for men.

    As Paul continued to share wisdom and guidance with Timothy, he knew eventually Timothy would face false doctrine and false accusation. In order to overcome, he needed to be settled in the Word.

    Settled in the Word 2 Timothy 2: 14-18 Paul continued to offer sound wisdom and guidance to his young protégé, Timothy. Having dealt with many who opposed him, Paul was well acquainted with the struggles of ministry among those determined to hinder his efforts. While Paul faced physical ...read more

    Should We Shun

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Oct 17, 2018

     | 6,770 views

    There is a need to return to the concept of shunning. Indeed, we should shun those whose politics are against Scripture even if they are called Brethren,

    Having spent some time around Amish and Mennonites, I know they are pretty much the only groups that still practice shunning. Most are probably afraid of lawsuits, spitting the church or have a slightly off view of grace/love. We speak truth in love and some times we need to practice tough love ...read more
