Get in the Game: Preaching is “truth through personality”
Preaching is “truth through personality” which means each preacher delivers the same message except through his person that is created by the Lord. This is why there are many styles of preaching and why each preacher is able to preach in a way that is natural to himself vs. seeking to emulate another preacher. OnceContinue reading “Get in the Game: Preaching is “truth through personality””
We want to be a blessing to our communities

Commit to study
The Apostle Peter says in Acts 6:4 the Apostles were to devote themselves to prayer and the ministry of the Word of God. This is a lifelong commitment to prayer, daily prayer (see Apostle Paul regarding praying without ceasing, pray for those in authority and giving thanks in all circumstance) and to study of theContinue reading “Commit to study”
Get in the Game: You go to want it….
In ministry life there is the discussion of calling and equipping. Rightfully so: there are men who are called to particular work in the body. [See Ephesians 4:11].

Get in the Game: Evangelists are in the sin and grace business
Evangelists are single-mindedly in the sin and grace business. Why? Because man is born a sinner and sinners can’t fellowship with a holy God. To be with God and in His presence you must be like Him and that means become righteous as He is righteous. So evangelists go into the streets and lanes andContinue reading “Get in the Game: Evangelists are in the sin and grace business”
Get in the Game: Perseverance
An evangelist must determine to persevere in the work because of the hope that perseverance is designed to bring to us. Romans 5:3-5 demonstrate this hope: “3 And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; 4 and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;5 and hope does not disappoint,Continue reading “Get in the Game: Perseverance”
Get in the Game: Underestimating the power of sin
One of the paradoxes of sin is that we underestimate its power. All we’ve ever known is to be sinners and live in a world of sinners and therefore perceive life as it is as normal.
