How God entirely sanctifies His children Many people object to the word “entire” in the doctrine of entire sanctification. Others work diligently to convince people of the process of sanctification or the personal efforts/accomplishments of the individual necessary for sanctification.

Dear Pastor, What good is it for us to preach and teach the people of God if we do it with nothing more than human words, opinions, and stories?

I onceContinue reading “Teaching and preaching with authority”

Dear Pastor, Today and this week you and I get the privilege of going about our Father’s work! We are invited to participate in kingdom living and kingdom serving.

What happens in life when there is a keen awareness of and reverence for the abiding presence of the Lord? Victory! Power! Joy! Peace! What happens when we forget who we belong to and whose Spirit is in us? Precisely this: we stumble, we falter, we wander, we fall and we fail. The Word ofContinue reading “Faltering, falling and failing apart from the presence of God”

Dear Pastor, Do you remember when you were ordained? Or perhaps you haven’t been ordained yet but you have been present at an ordination service and heard the charge given from the denominational leader to the ordinands.

The Lord is your shield and your very great reward (Genesis 15:1) Dear Pastor, How many times does it seem like you personally take the brunt of the difficulties, complaints, criticism, and negativity from your people?
