Acts 6:4

"But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the Word."

1 Timothy 4:6-16

" If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. These things command and teach. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee." 1 Tim 4:6-16 (KJV)

GOSPEL PREACHING COMMANDED by A. W. Pink

Taken from a sermon preached in Sydney during his Australian ministry in the 1920s.)

THERE are those who misrepresent the doctrine of election in this way: Here I am sitting down at my table
tonight with my family to tea. It is a cold winter’s night, and outside on the street are some hungry starving tramps and children, and they come and knock at my door and they say, “We are so hungry, Sir, Oh, we are so hungry and cold, and we are starving: won’t you give us something to eat?”

God Has Answers For Your Excuses with footnotes by Shane C. Montgomery


I tried calling on God, but He didn’t answer.”
Isaiah 59:1-2- Behold, the Lord’s hand is not so short that it cannot save; neither is His ear so
dull that it cannot hear. But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, so that He does not hear.

(If you truly desire God, He will know and He will respond in your life. In our refusal to rid our lives of sin, God refuses us. Until we love God more than we love our sins, God will not answer! Repent, turn from all sin and trust in Christ and if you truly desire God then He will send His Holy Spirit into your life and begin the process of Sanctification.

Feeding Sheep or Amusing Goats? by Charles Spurgeon

  I had it on my heart to post on the epidemic that is spreading through the evangelical church today, that being the ever growing popularity of churches in the U.S and around the world for that matter willing to sell out and throw out sound Biblical expository preaching and to replace it with entertainment.  What use to be a somber and reverent "Lord's Day Worship" every Sunday morning is more and more being replaced with the cooler, hipper, and more crowd pleasing concept of "Sunday Morning Entertainment,"
