There was assignment of that title at Antioch as the disciples were teaching about the resurrected Christ. They were there for at least a year. (Acts 11:26) It is interesting to note that they taught “considerable numbers”. People are not always favorable to the teachings concerning Christ, because it places demands on them concerning theirContinue reading “REDUCED CHRISTIANITY”

NORMAL CHRISTIANS
A Christian brother came to the pulpit to lead us in prayer, and as he did so, we could sense the depth of his sincerity, the burden of his heart, and the concern for the church and its membership. Somewhere in the middle of his prayer I heard the expression: “Lord, we don’t want toContinue reading “NORMAL CHRISTIANS”
LIVING WORDS
Each day I would be in 5 to 10 different homes. I looked for opportunities to share something about our wonderful Lord Jesus. Prayerfully we observe the surroundings and look for a “springboard” that will allow us to step through an open door. One day, as I entered the home of this 90-year-old lady, IContinue reading “LIVING WORDS”
BACK WHEN
The “Old Timer” said: “Ted, I have a box of books for you!” It was “boxes”… and tucked in there was one by W.H. Rogers, from which I quote what I believe to be a writing of Dr. W. Leon Tucker. “Christ is the Center and the Circumference of the Scripture. He is the LifeContinue reading “BACK WHEN”
A PLUMB LINE
Over the years I have thanked the Lord for the men who taught me the importance of a “plumb line”. Its importance was tested with frequency, especially when involved on construction sites.

CALLED TO REMEMBRANCE
I watch the morning news as they pour over the “events” of the previous night and the morning traffic. Without the advertising of the lawyers they would probably have been off the air a long time ago. In this modern society, where would we be without the lawyers? There is a recorded encounter of JesusContinue reading “CALLED TO REMEMBRANCE”
RE-BIBLE
The story is told of the villager, who returning to his own village did so with excitement. He told of his visit to the other village and proceeded to talk about what was taking place spiritually. Excitedly he said: “They are having a Re-Bible! In effect, he was right. When the fires of revival began,Continue reading “RE-BIBLE”
GOD’S WORD TRIUMPHS
“So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;It shall not return to Me void,But it shall accomplish what I please,And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11 Some of you may wonder why we are devoting our time to this ministry at this stage of our lives, and I understandContinue reading “GOD’S WORD TRIUMPHS”
