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)

"A Question Of Belief" A New Book Into the Minds of the Unbeliever.

Sunday, January 9, 2011
  I have a friend who lives a few hours north of me here in Ohio, he is a writer, has written several books.  I have known him for a couple of years now and I have found him to be an honest guy.  We do not have the same beliefs when it comes to religion, our beliefs on Christ are miles apart in fact, but this does not change the fact that he is a good friend and a good writer.  


 I am not in the habit of recommending books written by people outside of the Reformed Faith, but I must make an exception here, Dale Pierce has written a excellent book in "A Question of Belief" This short, easy to read work can be read in a days time and I feel it would benefit the believer, especially the believer who has been called to be a witness to the glories of Christ Jesus.  By knowing what the non-believer thinks and better yet, why he thinks the way he does, we will be better prepared to be a witness ourselves.  How can we possibly expect to reach out to the unbelieving world if we do not understand where they are coming from or what they think.  It is too easy to just rest on the knowledge that many deny Christ and God, but we need to know why?  Why do they deny Him?  Why do they resist God, in nature, in His Word, in the lives of those around them?  This book is an unbiased approach to these questions, more than just simply throwing together a lengthy list of arguments against God, Dale has provided both sides of the Faith Coin, believers are asked "Why they believe," so we get to see inside the minds of both other believers and non-believers.  I think this short, affordable book will make a great addition to the believers library and a great tool for those who share the Gospel.  I support this book to the utmost.  Dale Pierce has given us a very useful tool in "A Question Of Belief." I highly recommend this book!
