Let Your Light Shine At The Peak

Contributed by James Dina on Oct 29, 2022

As of March 2022, 42 percent of pastors had considered leaving full-time ministry within the previous year (BARNA Group Survey). Also, only 30% of the leaders in the Bible finished well. This means that 70% fell short of God’s plan for their lives. Our lights must definitely shine at the peak.

LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE AT THE PEAK "Son of man, how is the wood of the vine better than any other wood, the vine branch which is among the trees of the forest? (Ezekiel 15:2) Jesus disarmed principalities and powers. He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. ...read more

True Leadership Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 4, 2021

As the culture of power and death sees it today, leaders have to be tyrants without hearts or they can’t get anything done.

2nd Sunday of Advent Cycle C “Lead, or follow, or get out of the way.” This bulldozer philosophy of leadership sat prominently on the desk of sports-and-media maven Ted Turner. Almost a century earlier, another notorious anti-Catholic, Havelock Ellis, wrote a sneering thought about ...read more

Paul's Sermon At Athens: The Historical Background

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 31, 2021

This is the first of a series of messages centering on the sermon that the Apostle Paul gave before the groups of philosophers in Athens, and how it is a perfect model for Biblical apologetics and evangelism.

Paul's Sermon At Athens: The Right Place At The Right Time

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 7, 2021

Paul's preaching in the synagogues and the markets of Athens drew the attention of the city's philosophers and intellectuals who invited him to speak at the Areopagus. When the Gospel is proclaimed, it has the power to win souls for the glory of God (Hebrews 4:12).

Paul's mission to carry the Gospel to the nations continued while he was in Athens. Even though persecution had driven him out of one area, the LORD in His Sovereignty placed Paul right where He wanted him, and that was at the intellectual capital of the Roman Empire, the city of Athens. ...read more
