A Preacher Called John There are many things that one could write concerning this remarkable man of God. He was the last prophet of the Old Testament and the first of the New Testament. He was the forerunner of the Lamb of God and a fearless prophet who would not soften the word of God; […]
Witnesses of Christ Acts 1: 8 It is the privilege, responsibility and honor of every believer to accurately and honestly relate to others that which he has heard with his own ears, seen with his own eyes, and felt and experienced in his own heart (I John 1: 1-3). Therefore, let us be sure that […]
I have heard someone say that the age of the local church is past and that there is no longer any use for God-ordained Pastors. It is easy for a weed to speak this way, because it can thrive upon that which is natural, without any tending, but the flower of God’s planting is not […]
Some people would have us believe that if we preach pure grace it will lead people to licentious living. They say if we remove the law as a guide or motivation for Christian living, people will have nothing to keep them holy. They say to tell a person to just follow Christ doesn’t provide enough […]
True or false professors There is a distinguishing difference between a true child of God and a false professor. The Bible is filled with illustrations of this truth – Mt 7:22-23; Mt 23:27; Mt 25:32; John 14:21; 1John 3:14. This discernible difference is characterized from an inward presence of the indwelling Spirit of God which […]

Regrettably no! It would be great if all the churches everywhere did preach the gospel, but this certainly […]
Only Scriptural preaching is good preaching I heard of a preacher who very eloquently said that at the conversion of a sinner an angel of God picks up a heavenly quill and flies from God’s throne to that fountain filled with Christ’s blood, dips his quill into the blood of that fountain and then flies […]
The Holy Spirit does not reach after something novel, new, or spectacular in order to glorify Christ or to preach Christ to men. He does not need tongues, fleshly emotion, bodily healings, and creature fame and importance in order to bring glory to Christ and call out His sheep. He finds Christ’s glory IN CHRIST […]
SERVANTS OF THE LORD Judges 6: 7-7: 1-22 Those God uses to spread his gospel are called through the gospel by which Christ is made the Power and Wisdom of God to us. We do not turn from that which pleases God to the strength of our flesh, of our wisdom, or our power lest […]
By the prophets The word prophet in the OT means, “spokesman,” and is from a root word which means “to speak under divine influence.” Interesting that this root word would come to be used for God’s spokesmen and it is because if a sinner is going to speak for God, God must bless that sinner […]
