In His sovereignty God has ordained preaching as a primary means of transforming lives. He has graciously given us creation, His Word, and most dramatically Himself, in the person of His Son, so that we might know Him. By these three means God sufficiently reveals Himself. On the human side, He calls out certain men to come to know Him through these means and to communicate His truth to a broader audience—to preach. Why He did it this way, particularly in light of our human frailty, only He can say. But those of us who have been called to ...

When they had gone a long time without food, then Paul stood up in their midst and said, "Men, you ought to have followed my advice and not to have set sail from Crete and incurred this damage and loss. Yet now I urge you to keep up your courage, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. For this very night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood before me, saying, 'Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has ...

(Matthew 21:23 NASB). The church in America today is filled with good Pharisees. Just as in Jesus' day, they choke the life out of the church. I've encountered them all my life. Genuine Pharisees are not true believers, although they are often camouflaged by Christian wording and activity. They are the Enemy's "tares sown among the wheat" to wreak havoc ...

Preachers come in all sizes, styles, personalities, languages, voices, backgrounds, and hairstyles. In infinite wisdom, God makes no two of us alike, and He loves the variety. But while this uniqueness is part of God's deliberate plan to reach various people, every preacher should have some non-negotiable, foundational elements of anointed preaching.

We must diligently study to cut it straight, not imposing our ...

We love heroes—and we should. They are the men and women who willingly give themselves for a higher cause—firemen who save lives, policemen who protect us, and military heroes who pay the ultimate sacrifice. You don't have to wear a uniform to be a hero, though. Mothers who give every waking breath for their children, and fathers who nobly lead their homes are also heroes. There is something in every hero, even if it's only a temporary surge, that makes them recognizable: courage. In every heroic act, someone boldly puts his or her life on the ...
