Suffering All Around

By Dusty Rubeck (From our series “The Best or Worst Advice I”ve Ever Received.”) About 15 years ago a wise older man on one of my boards told me, “Dusty, never underestimate the level of human suffering that exists in our world.” Then he repeated it. Again and again and again and again.  Obviously, he could see this young leader wasn”t getting it. Now I do. Don, wherever you are, “Thank you.” I wish I”d listened more carefully back then. I see it now. You cannot turn in any direction without running into people who are suffering unimaginable pain (physical,

Many Resources””Use Them Well!: Resources for Bible Teaching (Part 4)

By Caleb Kaltenbach My favorite tool for sermon writing is Logos Bible Software. As far as the exegesis of a sermon, nothing can beat it. Logos works quickly and has multiple resources within the program. Not only that, you can download the program onto your smartphone, enabling you to access Logos no matter where you are. A couple of years ago I joined PreachingToday.com. Some of the best illustrations I”ve used (that aren”t personal) come from this great website. It costs a little each month, but it is worth it. Type in your passage and you”ll find many illustrations to choose from.

By Paul Boatman   Bridget Schnautz of Clay City, Illinois, is a Bible college graduate who has invested a two-decade career in management of a Sherwin-Williams paint factory, while pursuing a call to ministry.   Can you tell us about God”s calling in your life? There have been many benchmarks I can identify in looking back. My first church exposure came around age 8 when I was invited to VBS.

What Will Keep Us Together?

By John Derry Christian churches have long resisted being identified or referred to as a denomination, preferring instead to be called a brotherhood or fellowship. In many cases we emphasize our local autonomy by adding the word independent when describing who we are.

Denominational churches may find security in having a regional or national office establish operational policies and assist
