How could I as a feeble man benefit a God who has it all? He owns “the cattle on a thousand hills” and holds the sea in the palms of his hands.
Seven Tools to Pursue Excellence in Ministry – Pastor Paul Chappell
Of course, it’s easy to say, “We care about excellence.” But do we actually practice excellence? Do we strive for it? Here are seven ways we work to strive for excellence in ministry:
The Fear of Being Empty
As we have learned in the last article being empty of our selfish ways is not at all fun. But the end of us is the very beginning of all God is. Why is it so hard to put our dreams and aspirations aside? Why do we struggle with the thought of throwing our opinions and plans out the window?
Running on Empty? Good.
Oh no. That sound. You know it can’t be good. The engine ‘putters’ louder and louder as you firmly grasp the stirring wheel. You try not to panic as the car vibrates abruptly.
The Path of Peter
Being bashed because of your faith is not fun, is it? No Christian likes to be teased for their seemingly weird convictions or standards. It is uncomfortable, awkward, and uncertain. But there is a way to escape this gruesome conflict and persecution as a Believer. There is a way to never have to suffer for being a follower of Christ.
Finding Your Way – Evangelist Scott Pauley
Frequently I hear it said of someone that he is still trying to “find his way” in life. Our world is full of aimless drifters and empty souls. Another toy. Another trip. Another lover. Everyone just trying to find their way – but, to where? Many people have traveled all of life on a certain path only to discover that it did not lead to the destination they had hoped. How do you find your way, the Lord’s way, for life? God has given us a guidebook for the journey. Only Scripture can show us the plain and right path.
The Will of God for Every Man
How can you really know God’s will for your life? Have you ever been perplexed or frustrated at trying to figure out exactly what it is that God wants you to do? If so, you are not alone. Trust me. This happens to all of us at some point or another.
5 Ways Dr. Bobby Roberson Influenced Me – Pastor Paul Chappell
Every time I was with him, I was encouraged and challenged by his walk with the Lord, humility, and friendship. He had a tremendous influence on my life in many ways, and I wanted to share a few of those as a tribute to my friend
Living through Dying
My late pastor, Bro Bobby Roberson used to always say, “What you say should not hurt me, because I’m supposed to be dead to self, and you can’t hurt something that’s dead.”
Many Shall See It (Psalm 40:1-3)
Psalm 40:1-3 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. 2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. 3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
