The commitment of martyr’s unto death for the Word of God is testimony to the importance of the doctrine. In today’s brief…

“Never judge a book by its cover” is a warning against premature judgments. The truth of this proverb has never been reinforced more aptly than when one gazes at the cover of an English Bible printed in 1537 in Antwerp. The leather cover is discolored and torn. There is nothing attractive about it. One is…

Pastor, Central Baptist Church, New York City “I accept the Bible unmutilated.” That was part of the statement I made thirty-two years ago to the council that examined me for ordination.

I believe that “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” (II Timothy 3:16).

Paul W. Downey Many churches today base their ministries on one fad or another. In attempts to attract a larger crowd or larger offerings, many pastors “package” their churches as places where people can be entertained, fulfilled, or taught to cope with the difficulties of life. Our churches ought rather to be places where people…

A few interesting stories from around the web… The Problem with Pastors as Rock Stars Ed Stetzer has an interesting article on the ‘rock star’ pastor.
