A “Must” for 2023

A "Must" for 2023 A great deal of challenges, demands, requests, and obligations have been coming your way… and even in retirement! How do you handle all of this? What do you do, say, think, and even pray over? This is a new year… 2023… with all the modern technology and equipment. How is this possible? Dr. A.B. Simpson, the founder of The Christian and Missionary Alliance, wrote this to his constituency in 1886: “A Year with Jesus: Let us…

3 Ways to Pray for Your Pastor

BY: MATT NOBLE In Hebrews 13 we are told that pastors must give an account for those they watch over (Hebrew 13:7) We see this again in the epistle of James where we are told that pastors will be judged with greater strictness (James 3:1) as they have tremendous influence over the church. Pastors have been given a very weighty task, to shepherd God's people (Acts 20:28). This is an enormous responsibility that at times can be daunting. Certainly, there…

Who is St. Valentine?

BY DR. JOE ALLOTTA: That's the most interesting thing about Valentine's Day to me. We have no idea who St. Valentine is. We know St. Nicholas gave presents to kids. We know St. Patrick was into all things Irish (although his official saint color was blue.) So why is St. Valentine associated with love, hearts, and overpriced greeting cards? Let me share some history and then some commentary: History Valentinus was supposedly an Italian Stallion in the 3rd century who…

Four Ways God Punishes Sin

BY ADAM POWERS: Lastly, after spending two days on the origin of sin and the character of sin, today I'll briefly discuss the punishment of sin. This is the result of sin in man. All this talk of guilt, pollution, corruption, depravity, and total and moral evil means little if God doesn't take it seriously. Men may make light of it but God doesn't, for He will punish all sin both in this life and in the life to come.…

Fear of God Is just the Beginning of Knowledge

BY DR. JOE ALLOTTA We all know the verse that says, "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." There are quite a few verses that reference the fear of God and even a couple in the New Testament. Often times I hear people just erase the word or change the word "fear" to "reverence." Obviously, we should be reverent to God but "fear" has a different meaning. Fear means to be afraid of something dangerous. We tend…

Turf War: Missionaries Are Moving in on Our Territory

BY DR. JOE ALLOTTA: Did you know this? That more missionaries come to the United States than any other country in the world??? On average, 32,000 missionaries come to the United States from other countries per year. Did you have any idea? The second place has 20,000 missionaries going to them. We're close to doubling up the second-place country. What's interesting, we send more than 127,000 out from our country to other places around the world. That's awesome. (Now to…

Are You A Navigator?

"In times of change, learners inherit the Earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists." Philosopher Eric Hoffer There is no doubt about it, change is upon us, increasing at an exponential pace. When knowledge is doubling every eighteen months and increasing, how is one to stay current and meet expectations? We must be constant learners. We must be as the sons of Issachar, "men who had an understanding of the…

Your Lion’s Den

BY DR. MARK O'FARRELL: I never get tired or bored with Daniel chapter 6! How about you? I remembered it from Sunday School, claimed the spiritual lessons from this event for my personal life, and preached on this chapter numerous times on different occasions over the years! It is just a great read! If you have never read it, or it has been a long time since you explored this portion of scripture, do so immediately. God is shouting at…

Misunderstanding “Repentance” is Confusing the Gospel

BY DR. JOE ALLOTTA: Repentance is brought up a lot in Gospel presentations. I can already hear someone saying, And rightfully so! But is repentance a part of salvation? That's where the misunderstanding comes into play. If when you say repentance you mean, stop sinning before coming to Jesus, then you are dead wrong. If we could stop sinning before coming to Jesus, then why do we need Jesus? But if when you say repentance you mean, the asking of…

Complacent Repentance

Complacent Repentance BY BURK PARSONS: I love to hear stories about our faithful forefathers in ages past, and while it may be mere legend, I have heard that the great nineteenth-century British pastor Charles Spurgeon posted a sign on the door of his study. Each time he passed through the door of his study he could not avoid seeing the sign, which read: Perhaps today. It was his way of reminding himself that Jesus could return any day. So Spurgeon…
