Some years ago I engaged in a series of messages on the prayers of the Apostles. These men had requested of Christ that He teach them to pray. And He answered their prayer. It seemed to me that much could be learned by considering the recorded prayers of the Apostles in the New Testament. The series was a blessing to me and I created a graphic from the outline of the series as a whole. That graphic has been a prayer tool of mine for years. I am now able to release the message notes in this book format. May the Lord bless us all as we press ourselves to pray as the Lord taught His disciples ...

The Gospel According to Mark is the shortest of the four Gospels, and some believe it may have been written as a sort of “tract” meant to be read by a fast moving and “on the go” type of people.[1] It was, of course, written by Mark, or sometimes called John Mark in the Bible. Mark’s readership is a Roman person. His life is busy and fast paced He is always on the move and traveling He doesn’t have a lot of time for incidentals So Mark cuts right to the chase. Again a quote, “The abruptness with which he announces his subject, and the energetic brevity with which, passing by ...

What’s Love Got to Do With It? 1 Corinthians 13 Learn: Why the King James Bible uses the word charity instead of love. Every word of God is important. I do not believe we should carelessly change and modernize the old words used in the King James Bible. There is a reason the translators chose to use the word charity rather than the word love.

Surely all three of these are great qualities. But the...

Over the thirty-six years I have been in the Baptist ministry, certain questions have repeatedly come to my ears. They tend to come from young people, teenagers, coming into their own, and bold enough to ask. As children, they attended church because their parents told them to. They attended the church they did, because their parents told them to, and they “believed” what they did because their parents told them to. Some of them grew up in homes where their parents tried to teach them not only what the church they attended believed, but why. In some cases, that didn’t happen, but in ...

"It's not the baby on the manger," they would say, "but the Saviour on the Cross that is important." Second is the issue of Santa ClausI recently heard a man say that the damnable doctrine of the Nicolaitans was the celebration of Christmas and that the name "Saint Nicolas" comes from the ...
