He promoted a certain type of understanding of the future, and particularly a way of reading he Book of Revelation in the Bible. I knew this understanding as "PreTrib PreMill" but the more formal encapsulating term …

When You Rule the Mountain, the Mountain Rules You (Seven Mountain Mandate)
I am writing a book with the tentative title "Paradoxical Christians Mission: Theology Reflections for Weak, Small, Poor, and Slow Ministry." In case it wasn't clear in the title, I am suggesting that Weak, Small, Poor, and Slow are GOOD qualities in ministry. As I have been writing I feel myself bumping up against the …

Is Reading Other People’s Sermons THAT Interesting?
Looking over 2024 stats, I noticed something rather odd. Two of the top three posts I have are sermons. My initial reaction is one of shock. I mean, I never read other people's sermons. I have opened up a couple of books of sermons of famous preachers. Sure, they may have been amazing to experience …
