Clearing The Air About The Sacred Calling

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 12, 2021

This is no time for any man of God or serious Christian to be shy, hesitant, compromising, or half-hearted in our commission from the Lord Jesus Christ to go out into the world and preach His gospel. Today is the day to be bold for the kingdom of God.

Fellow preachers and servants in Christ, I must admit that it seems as if we are proclaiming the truth of the Gospel to stone walls these days. I have never seen such indifference and apathy in people concerning the state of their souls as I do now. We see and hear of so-called ...read more

Was Paul A Good Preacher?

Contributed by James Hays on Apr 21, 2020

Men tend to judge speakers according to a standard that Paul did not even desire to meet. Maybe our judgement needs a little realignment with scripture.

Was Paul A Good Preacher? Hmmm. I’ve often wondered how many churches would pass on hiring Paul for their pulpit minister. • Everyone is a TV evangelist right now. • Pick and choose what style you like, what subject matter you are interested in. • Almost like a competition on Facebook between ...read more

Proclaiming The Good News Rightly Series

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Feb 17, 2024

The way one speaks the truth, by which one has been set free, truly matters! When we share the Good News, our intention isn’t to cause harm, provoke anger, instigate conflict, diminish spirits, or condemn others but to tell them that the grace God has given us is being offered to them as well!

How Do You Like Your Meat?

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Oct 7, 2024

Hebrews 5:13  For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.  14  But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.  While there is a ...read more

"Hineni Shelacheni” — Send Me

Contributed by Don Aldrich Tamayo on Sep 10, 2024

This variety in responses mirrors how we approach God’s call in our lives. Just as our greetings reflect our readiness to engage, the way we respond to God's call—much like Isaiah did—reveals our willingness to serve and our openness to His divine purpose for us.

For instance: Graham Bell’s invention is greeted with a simple “Ahoy” in English. Russians respond, “I’m listening.” The French ask, “Who is on the phone?” Italians ...read more

Priorities For Ministry Series

Contributed by Freddy Fritz on May 17, 2024

Acts 6:1-7 teaches us about Satan’s attack of distraction and the church’s priorities for ministry.

Introduction Christians are not immune from trials and difficulties just because they are Christians. Conversion to Christ does not cause our problems to evaporate and disappear.

Couriers Who Rode Fast Horses

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Aug 11, 2023

Generally, when preachers preach on the book of Esther, the focus is either on Mordecai or Esther. But today, I want to highlight somebody else – the couriers who rode fast horses.

The Inner Circle: Andrew, James And John (Matthew 10: 1-4)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 20, 2025

Our look at the twelve apostles continues with the “ inner circle”, or most notable in the Scriptures due to their words and work.

The list of the twelve ordinary men commissioned by the Lord Jesus Christ to preach the Gospel always lists Simon Peter as the first due to his character, his devotion to Jesus, and was given the task of being the leader of the twelve and be both the pastor and teacher to the “ sheep” and “lambs” ...read more
