Transitioning: leading your church throu...
This book was written in 2000. Dan Southerland has been the pastor of Flamingo Road Church in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida for over twenty years. He also has been a facilitator for Rick Warren’s Purpose Driven ministry of changing churches from traditional to contemporary. Warren writes the Forward and encourages all pastors to read the book […]
Repetition and Memorization
Let’s quit knocking the idea of repetition and memorization as a valid teaching tool. It is still one of the best ways to “cement” any concept or information into the human brain. Scientists practice “programming” the brain through repetition and most claim that the brain thrives on it. Everything we learn as a child revolves […]
The Assembling Of Ourselves Together
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much more, as ye see the day approaching. (Heb 10:23-24) As a pastor and father and a life-long church attendee, I […]
On Being a Pastor
I noticed this book on the store shelf because of the two authors. Each year we take a study trip to the UK including Edinburgh, Scotland and attend the historic Charlotte Baptist Chapel founded by Robert and James Haldane. Both of these men have pastored at that church, Begg being the assistant to Derek Prime. […]
This Little Church Stayed Home
This is the sequel to Gary Gilley’s first book, This Little Church Went To Market. I’ve met Gary and have observed that his heart and life are consistent with the words of these books. This second book does three things: It reviews postmodernism and shows its continuing influence on our lives; it presents a scriptural […]
Biblical Separation
In my estimation, this book, first published in 1979, should be one of the classics for those who hold any interest in biblical separation. On the other hand, I have not seen Pickering or this book referenced in any articles on biblical/church separation I have read lately. Many of the same issues confronted by Pickering […]
The Scandal of the Evangelical Conscienc...
The sub-title is “Why are Christians Living Just Like the Rest of the World?” The title itself was enough to make me buy the book. The first chapter is packed full of interesting statistics that show that “Evangelical Christians” commit the same sins, to the same degree, as non-Christians. I was not as satisfied with […]
Gospel Worship
Note: This review is written by Terry Wilkes, Associate Pastor and Minister of Music at Metro Baptist Church. Leviticus 10:3 records the words of the Lord, “I will be sanctified in them that come nigh Me, and before all the people I will be glorified.” Moses speaks these words to Aaron his brother after […]
Spiritual Disciplines Within the Church
Ministry Books I thought Donald Whitney on Spiritual Disciplines Within the Church was great on local church life. Today’s Gospel by Walter Chantry was a Calvinistic criticism of today’s gospel-light. Stuart Briscoe on Purifying The Church is his commentary on Titus and has good applications for teaching and preaching. Quiet Talks on Power by S.D. […]
