The Mission Call To Christians
A Call to Action On April 21, 1861, Charles Spurgeon delivered a powerful sermon titled “The Missionaries’ Charge and Charter”. This sermon remains a timeless call to Christians, urging them to embrace their divine mandate to spread the gospel. You can read that sermon in full here. The following is a summary. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,…

How To Present the Gospel
How to Effectively Present the Gospel to a Lost Sinner is part one in a two-part series written by Pastor David Dickerson to encourage Christian evangelism. The Romans Road The Romans Road is so called because it is a presentation of the gospel from the Book of Romans. Paul did not establish the church in Rome. The church was most likely started by new converts from the…
The Power of a Godly Testimony
A testimony is a personal account of how God has worked in a peron’s life. As a Christian, our testimony speaks of what Christ has done in our lives for His glory. Each testimony is a miracle and witness of the power of God bringing life to us who were “dead in trespasses and sins.” When we share our testimonies, we acknowledge God’s presence…
What Does it Take To Believe? (part 1)
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Acts 16:31 To the Philippian jailer’s clear-cut question: “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” (v.30), Paul and Silas answered with the clear-cut answer above. He had only to “believe upon”[i] the Lord Jesus Christ as the only object of trust. The clear-cut promise: “You will be…
What is Life All About?
The first question in the old catechisms children had to learn in church was, “What is the chief end [goal] of man?” The answer: “The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.” This is a good biblical answer, for I Corinthians 10:31 states: Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. So we are to…
Is Man Basically Good?
All philosophies and religions stand or fall by their view of sin. If the disease is not properly diagnosed, there will never be a cure. Our view of sin and the extent of its devastating effects upon man will subsequently affect our view of man’s salvation. The Word of God reveals that man is a fallen creature (Genesis 3). By virtue of being created in the…
Revival, The Local Church, and Missions Part II
THE LOCAL CHURCH IS THE SENDER ACCORDING TO MISSIONARY PRACTICE. Workers and the work. “Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work.” The Holy Spirit was securing workers for the work. What is the “work”? At the end Luke tells us they returned from “the work, which they…
Marking Men
I once heard an old man of God preach on “marking men for God”. He pointed out that Abraham “marked” Isaac for God, Moses “marked” Joshua for God, Elijah “marked” Elisha, and Paul “marked” Timothy. What he meant by “marking” men for God was “disciplining” or “mentoring” them in “the ways of God”. Once a young preacher experiences the reality and power of the Holy Spirit…
Becoming the Woman God Wants You To Be
Heroes are a good thing. We all have heroes/heroines, don’t we? In fact, I have a few very special heroines who have labored long and faithful for our Lord. These ladies have inspired me to be a godly mother, a faithful wife, and a steadfast child of the King. I love these women, and at times in my Christian walk I have found myself modeling my life to imitate theirs. In…
Women: Surrender Part I
There are two “types” of surrender for the Christian. Can you name them? Salvation – the initial surrender of our will to His. Sanctification (Lifetime – or daily surrender) of Mark 8:34 wherein we surrender our will every day by “denying ourselves.” God isn’t interested in part of us, half of our heart, or a little of our love. He wants ALL of us, and He wants to…
Women: Surrender Part II
This path of surrender is not easy. In fact, once you do surrender you will more than likely face battles. In my life, after I surrendered I returned to my “Christian” school to face ridicule for living for the Lord. I lost friends, but I had to learn how to stand for Him right away… Some face even deeper trials. …“Betty Scott grew up in china, where her parents were…
Women: Surrender Part III
Were the whole realm of nature mine – that were a present far too small – Love so amazing, so divine – Demands my life, my soul, my all! Isaac Watts Sobering words… What are the implications of the Love of God and why do they demand my all? Is it not true as we studied last week – that we are HIS whether we acknowledge it or not. He is our Creator, and…
