Are you saved? If so, the Spirit of God witnesses to your spirit that you are the child of God. Nothing else proves a genuine conversion. Not a date recorded in your Bible when you knelt and prayed. Not a testimony of salvation among the brethren in your church. Nothing but the witness of the Holy Spirit. If you are saved there is one thing that is certain of you, God has predestined, chosen, elected that you be united into a local congregation of baptized believers. There will be some in the church that are more difficult for you to love. That matters not. God’s will is that you be there...

Right around that time, the news agencies began reporting about the Chinese coronavirus. I did not give it much more than a passing thought. I was aware of it but that was about it. February, we had a very difficult experience in our church, one of just two like it in the years of my ministry. A man in the church rose up against my family. We’ve had people grow upset and leave. It has only been twice that someone has chosen to stay and fight us. I accepted that as an answer to my prayer for breaking.March began our Faith Promise missions emphasis. I remember the second week. I picked up ...

I became a believer in the late 1970’s. It was a time when Christians spoke a great deal about prophetical subjects. There was a sense of urgency among Christians. We believed Jesus could come again at any moment. We spoke about it. We talked to unsaved people about it. We used songs, books and visuals to strike up those conversations to tell others about Jesus and to encourage them to be saved. We believed it to be a blessed hope. We prayed for it and, though I do not believe a lot of us were any more spiritual than most of us are today, the subject of Jesus’ coming again was on our ...

This is ta fictional series framed around the War for American Independence. The Black Robed Regiment was the unofficial title for those pastors who left their pastoral duties, for a time, to serve as chaplains in the war. This series spins off of that and builds a story around Pastor Billy Stonecipher. The series is based on my limited knowledge of the period, my imagination and the help of ChatGPT 3.5, Filmora 13 and DiffusionBee for graphics.

Exodus is an exciting book. It has all of the qualities of popular literature: Suspense Romance Murder Action Blood and Guts. Who can ask for anything more? Times change and there is little to nothing we can do about that. Our country is not the same place it was when the Declaration of Independence was signed. Very few people know or even care what were the: Struggles and Heartbeats and Passions and Motivations of men who lived, loved, fought, and died so long ago. Judges today do not really care so much about what the founders of our country had in mind when they framed our Constitution. ...

2020 came and I began to pray for reviving. I can’t say I know why, but I began waking up around midnight each night to pray that God would give us “a little reviving.” One night, around the middle of January, I said to God in one of those midnight prayer meetings, “Whatever you need to break in us that we might see a little reviving, I give you permission.” Wow, I could have never guessed how God would answer that! 2020 has provided us, not only with the normal things everyone has been dealing with such as: COVID-19, assembly restrictions, economic troubles, and a massive shift ...

After the Apostle's scathing rebuke to the church in his first letter, Paul was relieved to hear that they had responded well. They had repented. They had corrected their errors. They had received his message as it truly was, from God. They had, but not all. There remained in the church a segment who challenged Paul's authority as an apostle. 2 Corinthians is a celebration of the victories an instruction on giving and a confrontation with the Judaizers. The message is as relevant today as it was two thousand years ago.

I first began the series of messages that make up this book in the early 1990's. Our church's Bible Institute was doing very well but I had difficulty finding the types of materials I wanted to teach our students. There were Bible survey books available to be sure. None were the sort I was looking for, something that would give a survey rather than a lot of detail, and something that would be devotional at the same time. It was during those days I began preparing and preaching these messages. It is my prayer that the form and style of the book will be inspirational and helpful to you and ...

In 1984 my little family, consisting of myself and my wife, who was pregnant with our firstborn son, moved to Astoria Oregon. I had heard of two families in the city who were praying for someone to come plant a New Testament Baptist Church. The evening we arrived in town, I met two others. While all four families would have said they were independent, fundamental Baptists, they were as different as night and day. One of those families in particular held to doctrinal positions that were strange to me and the rest of us. They derived those doctrines, to a large extent, from some typology out ...

This is a chapter by chapter study of the book of Genesis. Each chapter was prepared originally as a message delivered to the congreghation I am privileded to pastor. The work is devotional in nature. Every chapter is covered with some covered more thoroughly than others.

Some years ago I engaged in a series of messages on the prayers of the Apostles. These men had requested of Christ that He teach them to pray. And He answered their prayer. It seemed to me that much could be learned by considering the recorded prayers of the Apostles in the New Testament. The series was a blessing to me and I created a graphic from the outline of the series as a whole. That graphic has been a prayer tool of mine for years. I am now able to release the message notes in this book format. May the Lord bless us all as we press ourselves to pray as the Lord taught His disciples ...
