God is calling us to love Jesus (the life of Peter)
There is a kind of humility about Peter’s words. It’s a false humility. It’s a proud humility. Peter appears to be humble before the holiness of our Lord Jesus, yet he is too proud to accept the love of Jesus. Do you understand who Jesus is, and why he came?
How Will You Honor “Your Pastor” This Month?
Why do we have a Pastor Appreciation Day/Month. Because the Bible instructs us to pay double honor to those who lead us. This month we will have numerous articles to honor those God has called to Shepherd.
God is calling us to love Jesus
God is calling us to love Jesus. In His Word, He tells us about people who learned to love Jesus. Little by little, they learned to live the Jesus life – less living for self and more living for Jesus. Peter is one such person we can learn from.
THE CHURCH RAISES GOD’S CHILDREN
Not only can pastors and church leaders glean valuable information from the 3rd chapter of David Wentz’s book, but so can we parents and grandparents on the necessities of raising godly children and grandchildren.
“Church and Faithfulness”
Does the lack of faithfulness of gathering together at church bother you? Do you grieve when people who need the grace and mercy of God are absent from His house? Does it make any difference? One thing for sure, not attending makes a huge difference in the life of a believer.
The Calling To Teach
Christians who are professional educators at all levels, parents, and those who supervise or train others can be encouraged to know that God’s presence is with you as you work. You are a co-teacher with the God of the Universe.

After WWII, Christian pastors were pressured to change their message and standards, because those in secularized counseling and psychology were saying that preaching about sin was harming our nation. So what is happening today?
God’s Greenhouse: Growing People God’s Way
God’s Greenhouse takes us back to the basics — growing believers who then grow the Church. A framework is provided to help any pastor, or leader, to get their church grounded on scriptural fundamentals, and working together to accomplish the Great Commission.
The Pastor’s Personal Life: Part 7 – Your Spirit
Ministry is hard. It’s so easy to make excuses. “I can’t take time to pray and read the Bible right now. The people need me!” We can even feel noble about the sacrifices we are making for the sake of our church. But God said obedience is better than sacrifice. That includes obeying God commands to wait on the Lord and be filled with God’s Spirit.
The Pastor’s Personal Life – Part 6 – Your Sabbath
Many Christians of today think Sunday is the Sabbath, and if they try to follow the Sabbath rules at all, they apply them to Sunday. There is nothing wrong with resting and focusing on God on Sunday. It probably works very well for many people. But for most pastors, Sunday is not a Sabbath of rest; it’s a workday.
