Casual conversationalism is appreciated and preferred by most of the world. But when you proclaim God’s infallible, inerrant, sufficient Word of God, they flee. Sadly much of today’s “apologetics” have become like a ‘show and tell’ in grade school. Whereas they “share” with each other on a mutual respect level. But a Christian stands upon
I’ve hit a crossroads in my life and ministry which requires lots of prayer. Though I am content with what we have, but I am not content with what I’m doing. In other words, I want to maximize my effectiveness for His glory, and for His kingdom building. Therefore me and my favorite dog decided
Church, don’t let the pews that we sit on turn us into potatoes (hence pew potatoes). Instead, our sanctuaries should be barracks where the church militant is trained and equipped for battle. Upon our regeneration, we were enlisted into the Lords army. Let us respond to our salvation with that, and the glory of the
I say a big resounding amen to this, as my ‘mentors at large’ are old dead men. Next year Beeke will be speaking at a conference here in the Inland Empire, and I’m looking forward to it.
Yesterday Facebook friend Kristine Harhoef posted this on her page. It’s obvious that Kristine has a respectful concern for both the health of the Lord’s church, and for the scattered sheep. There are so many bitter church members or ex-members on my news feed who are FULL of spiritual zeal, FULL of incredible talent
Since I had zero hecklers, and no opposition, I thought perhaps I was a little too soft. But I later learned that there was a high percentage of professing Christians in this line. Had I known that, I would have preached a different message. Currently I am street preaching through the book of Hebrews at
I just returned home from the 20th Annual Growing Reformed Churches Conference, held at First United Reformed Church in Chino California. The theme (or topic) this year was “Anchored in Christ: Embracing Christian Assurance.” The speakers were Pastor Daniel R. Hyde (adjunct Professor & Ph.D. candidate), Dr. Alan D. Strange, and William C. Godfrey (J.D.,
At the end a professing Christian asked many questions. He attended a Salvation Army, which does not teach the whole counsel of God (far from it), but an easy believism – universal atonement. They even allow practicing homosexuals to be on leadership committees. When the subject of ‘drugs and alcohol’ came up, he told me
Since I’m almost out of tracts, I’ve been offering them to the crowds (or lines) ‘after’ I preach. Sure enough the rejection rate increased tremendously. That is fine, because I don’t want to waste what I have left. Lord willing I hope to order more from my printer soon. Currently I am street preaching
I’d rather not include the names, but I just watched a debate on whether women should preach on the Lord’s Day at church. The Opponent did a fine job until he compromised during the Q&A. A woman asked the Opponent, “Does 1st Timothy 2:11-14 apply to women gifted in preaching outside the gathering of the
Currently I am street preaching through the book of Hebrews at various locations. This morning I preached from Hebrew 1:8-9. I preached this message at another location on this same morning. After the line was gone, I ran into another Evangelist who was standing on the other side reading the Scriptures. For the purposes of
Currently I am street preaching through the book of Hebrews at various locations. This morning I preached from Hebrew 1:8-14. One man became very angry, as he attempted to suppress the truth in his own unrighteousness. Then some believers cheered-on the preaching. Then afterwards another man politely rebuked me for preaching too much wrath. But
Though it is far from expository teaching, I will begin street preaching from the book of Hebrews at various locations. This morning I began by preaching from Hebrew 1:1-4. Through this, I did engage in several conversations.
According to below article, the well-known Potter’s Field Ministry (led by Michael & Pam Rozell) has been found-out for alleged sexual and financial shenanigans. To learn these folks were making “millions’ does not surprise me. But the primary blame should be upon the churches and professing Christians that enabled them for so long, with their
