I would normally never suggest that a preacher should quit. In fact, I’ve spent many years encouraging preachers. Through fellowship and friendship, books, conferences, and especially our Bible college, I’ve often tried to encourage preachers to be faithful in their service to the Lord—even during times of discouragement.

I love Lucy! And no…I’m not referring to the old black and white TV classic. I love our new dog, Lucy!

Service is a part of a Christian’s DNA. It is built into our new nature.Eagles are made to fly, wolves are made to hunt, canaries are made to sing, moles are made to dig, and Christians are made to serve.

The older I get, the more difficult it is for me to quickly remember names. Often my wife and I, in thinking of some incident in our long lives, will try to remember the name of a person involved.

God uses individuals to lead, but He uses the church to build. There is no doubt that God specially anoints church leadership to provide vision and direct the work.

In 1604, King James I of England authorized a new translation of the Bible into the English Language. That Authorized Version was released in May of 1611.

The multiplication of “modern language” English Bibles is one of the most important religious phenomena of recent years. The abandonment of the King James Bible by churches has not been a good thing.

Money is a tool, not an end. It is a help, not a salvation. We should never base final decision upon finances, but rather, on wisdom.

Some of today’s great college athletes never fulfill their potential. Though exceptionally talented, they fail to succeed in both sport and life. This is because their talent took them to a place where their character could not sustain them.
