    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 3, 2023
     | 1,527 views

    Those engaged in ministry must not be men pleasers or compromise the gospel through fear or laziness. Preach the true gospel of grace as honest ministers. Doctrinal stability must be maintained. Paul had to restate the gospel to the Galatians using his own personal testimony.

    Maybe our problem is that our egos have been inflated by the position that we hold that we have become not servants but members of a serve-me-please pharisaical class of clergy.

    After a minister had preached a searching sermon on pride, a woman who had heard the sermon waited upon him and told him that she was in much distress of mind, and that she would like to confess to a great sin. The minister asked her what the sin was. She answered, “The sin of pride, for I sat ...read more
