Crete was a difficult ministry. Culturally, the people were known for being lazy, deceptive, and combative (Tit 1:12). Though difficult, many churches there needed to be discipled and built up. Consequently, Paul visited to minister to the Cretans and eventually left Titus there to continue the work. In Paul’s letter to Titus, he encourages his son in the faith and gives him various instructions. Titus was to select elders in all the churches to help train the believers, teach them sound doctrine, and protect them from false teaching (Tit 1:9-10). In addition, Paul emphasized that the ...

David Livingston is one of the most thoughtful pastors I know. Getting to Good is a helpful and inspiring book that blessed me as I read it. It will bless you, too.Adam Hamilton Pastor and author of Wrestling with Doubt, Finding Faith, Abingdon, 2023 Jesus told his first followers two thousand years ago that they could experience "abundant life." Yet today, we still struggle with some of the same problems as his first followers and some problems they didn't have to face. Getting to Good explores seven common struggles of contemporary life. Through scripture, contemporary examples, and ...

In this book, you will learn about discerning evil to protect yourselves from deception, manipulation, or the result of selfishness. We can protect ourselves from others using the Holy Spirit to guide us. Scriptures will be shared to show how this works. Also discussed will be the behaviors of hypocrisy and condemnation. People respond against us through jealousy, fear, or intimidation even if it is not warranted. We’ll talk about how to discern those behaviors too.

I have published this little volume very much in self-defense. Some years ago I delivered a lecture on "Eccentric Preachers," and a reporter's notes of it were published in one of the newspapers. These, like all such things, were mere pickings and cuttings, and by no means the lecture itself. Gentlemen of the press have an eye to the amusement of their readers, and make selections of all the remarkable anecdotes, or odd sayings, used by a speaker, and when these are separated from their surroundings the result is anything but satisfactory. No man's speeches or lectures should be judged of ...

These messages were preached consecutively as part of the study in the book of Deuteronomy at Immanuel Baptist Church in Tucumcari, New Mexico. Pastor Runyan brings his conversational, "street-level" style to bear on the last of the books of Moses, Deuteronomy. The second generation after the exodus from Egypt had come to the banks of the Jordan River, able to look across into the Promised Land. They had recently accomplished two stunning victories against the imposing armies of pagan kings. Deuteronomy is the last address of Moses to the people. He won't be making the journey with them, ...

OUR Lord had been persecuted, and therefore he put forth many proofs of his power. When opposition attends the gospel it will be the more triumphant ; the warnings of the devil prognosticate the success of the word. When our Lord Jesus had done much, he was under a sacred necessity to do more; for every one who was healed busied himself in spreading abroad the fame of the beloved Physician, and others labouring under similar infirmities hastened at once to receive the like cure. The more we do for Christ the more we may do, and I think usually the more we must do. If we hold back from ...

A DEEP concern for the welfare of my fellow-mortals, and an earnest desire that they may be made partakers of the joy and glory of that salvation which comes by Christ, has induced me to present to them in this form, the following Sermon, written by John Venn, late rector of Clapham — a valued and experienced Christian; as it contains hints well calculated to produce serious reflection, to lead into humble watchfulness of spirit, and the endeavour to walk so closely with God, that whatsoever is done may be done to his glory. I am best satisfied to add, that my own observation and ...

BRILLIANTS ¬ Selected from the Writings of C. H. SPURGEON *** ¬ The truest lengthening of life is to live while we live, wasting no time, but using every hour for the highest ends. *** So sweet are the comforts of the Lord, that not only the saints themselves may sing of them, but even the heavens and the earth may take up the song. It Cakes something to make a mountain sing; and yet the prophet summons quite a choir of them. Lebanon, and Sirion, and the high hills of Bashan and Moab, he would set them all singing because of Jehovah's grace to His own Zion. May we not also make mountains ...

What is the Sermon on the Mount? In Matthew 5-7, Christ climbs a mountain with his disciples and from there gives his most famous sermon. He starts by describing those who are members of his heavenly kingdom (Matt 5:3-10). They are the poor in spirit, the mourners, the meek, those who hunger for righteousness, the merciful, etc. Those who are truly heavenly citizens don’t just have a profession of faith but experience a faith that changes their life and character—they are new creations in Christ (2 Cor 5:17). Christ warns those listening to his sermon of potential deception—if their ...

I do not know into whose hands this tract may fall. But I know there is no living soul, who ought not to feel an interest in its subject.
