But, be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
The Lord will prepare us for what comes to pass in life. Scripture even tells us that God will provide a way out of our trials and temptations (1 Corinthians 10:13). In the sixteenth chapter of John’s Gospel, Jesus was preparing the disciples for His departure. He even prophesied that they would be scattered. However,Continue reading “But, be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
Practical Leadership Theory for Local Church Leaders
There are plenty of things I would have liked to of known when I first started pastoring ten years ago. Professional training and habitual reading have provided a great foundation. Observing other pastors is another blessing. However, nothing has been as beneficial as experience. In reality, it is the mixture of all three that informContinue reading “Practical Leadership Theory for Local Church Leaders”

How do we improve our church board?
Whenever church boards are discussed, a joke comes to mind. At the end of a worship service, the pastor announced that there would be a board meeting. When they gathered, there was a visitor in the meeting room. Of course, they asked the person why the person had come to the board meeting. The individualContinue reading “How do we improve our church board?”
Scripture Reading Challenge (#39)
For many people, Ahab’s reign may have seemed like the end of any hope of a return to the worship of the true God. Scripture pointed out that Ahab did more evil in the sight of God than any other king before him (1 Kings 16:30). In fact, to some, the famine might have signaledContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#39)”
The Reformation (500 Years Since)!
I am teaching a class for OCU right now, on Church History (Part II). It highlights the events in the church from 1054 to current times and even looks at future trends. It is interesting that the way the scheduled topics fall, that we discussed the pre-reformation last week and this week (Thursday), we willContinue reading “The Reformation (500 Years Since)!”
Scripture Reading Challenge (#33)
One of the most familiar stories of the Bible is that of David and Goliath. This is a story of a young teen facing impossible odds and through the grace of God was victorious. The stance that David made is admirable. The faith that he displayed is inspirational. The commitment he had to God isContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#33)”
Scripture Reading Challenge (#28)
First John 4:1 reads, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” John continues with a litmus test for professing believers. Discernment is an essential part of the Christian life. Not everything that seems like it is from GodContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#28)”
Scripture Reading Challenge (#18)
One of my favorite stories is the Chronicles of Narnia. In The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, the children are talking about the Christ-like figure, Aslan the Lion. The conversation goes, “Aslan is a lion- the Lion, the great Lion.” “Ooh,” said Susan. “I’d thought he was a man. Is he quite safe? IContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#18)”
