    Five Reasons I Manuscript My Sermons

    If someone is looking for a church where the preacher uses dialogue preaching in the pulpit, he or she will have a very difficult time locating one. The closest most people will ever come to finding something similar to a dialogue preacher is a Sunday School Class teacher; not that there’s...

    Five Reasons I Manuscript My Sermons

    This is an interesting article on average church sizes in America. https://worshipleader.com/leadership/worship-in-the-average-church-in-america/ This source defines a small church as one that is less than 100 in size. (It also offers a definition of ranges for other sizes of church members.)...

    Five Reasons I Manuscript My Sermons

    That’s a good observation. I agree with it. Some preachers are called upon to serve large congregations. Some preachers are called upon to serve small congregations. I was called upon to serve small congregations. If / when a small congregation began to grow large, a new small congregation was...

    Five Reasons I Manuscript My Sermons

    “1. Clarity. … 2. Brevity. … 3. Intentionality. … 4. Repeatability. … 5. Posterity. …” (Pastor Brad Whitt, Abilene Baptist Church, Augusta, Georgia) https://x.com/drbradwhitt/status/1787456826612543959?s=61 All good reasons. I didn’t manuscript my sermons, except for those which I delivered...

    Are you sending your neighbors to Hell?

    On a large scale, the devil has seen to that. The problem is easy to identify, as is the cause -> savage wolves [false teachers]. What is the solution? It isn’t what you’ve proposed, which stems from your belief that no one really knows what true doctrine is so let’s not let doctrine divide...

    Are you sending your neighbors to Hell?

    There are many things a person can do to make himself an enemy of Jesus. Teaching that Yahweh is the devil - I’m asking readers to carefully weigh and consider this in their own minds - makes the list.

    Are you sending your neighbors to Hell?

    The Messiah, we read in Psalm 110:1, is spoken to prophetically by Yahweh. ”Yahweh is the devil.” The Messiah is not addressed prophetically in this passage by the devil. Yahweh / Adonai is addressing the human Messiah, adoni. The devil is never given the title Adonai in scripture. Only God...

    The reader is not yet persuaded? Let us read on then. ”The wicked are not so, But they are like chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not rise in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the...

    “Yahweh is the devil.” -> true or false? “How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the way of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the law of Yahweh, And in His law he meditates day and night. And he will be like a tree...

    “Jesus said that Yahweh, the God of Moses, is the devil.” ”Yahweh duped Moses.” Thinking themselves to be wise, they became fools.

    Are you sending your neighbors to Hell?

    The God of the Old Testament is the God of the New Testament. Those who are teaching Yahweh is the devil have challenged my assertion, plainly calling it a lie. What else can they do but call it a lie? There is more that they can do, and they have. They allege that those who believe Yahweh is...

    Are you sending your neighbors to Hell?

    We’ve all heard the descriptive phrase, “Dead man walking.” Those who believe and are teaching others that Yahweh is the devil, in hope of persuading some to turn away from Yahweh, are dead men walking. Warn them, and urge them to repent. Yahweh is the one God of the scriptures. Just how...

    Their God is Yahweh, not the devil. If that is not going to bring you around to sound thinking, what will it take?

    David, a man after Yahweh’s own heart (1 Samuel 13:14; Acts 13:22). David, not a man after the devil’s own heart.
