The Priority of Being Baptized in the Holy Spirit
While speaking at a conference recently, I made a statement that was an eye-opener to many in the auditorium. Here is the statement ... with little effort, I can tell the importance placed in your church upon believers being baptized in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. How? By looking at the sermon video archive on your churches' website to see how many messages were preached on this subject ON A SUNDAY MORNING within the last 12 months. Why Sunday morning? Because that is when the largest number of people attend your church. Reality tells us that if your...
Qualified to Minister
Here's just a quick question to ponder ... if being filled with the Holy Spirit was one of the major prerequisites for qualifying individuals to minister in the New Testament church, how can we expect any less from those who minister and assist in the ministry in today's church? While being filled with the Holy Spirit was certainly required for those preaching and teaching, Acts 6 shows us that this qualification carried over to what appears to be every area of ministry. "So the Twelve called a meeting of all the believers. 'We apostles should spend our time preaching and teaching the word...

To further narrow the purpose of the blog, I want to challenge you to set a...
It’s Party Time!
Honest confession time ... I'll tell you up front that 78.7% of this blog's readership is far more intelligent than I am. (You do know that 84.9% of all statistics are fabricated, don't you? ... just a joke, folks!) While I was so bright as a child that my mother called me son (if you think long and hard enough, you'll understand that joke), there is still so much that I don't know and am trying to learn. So, when I learn something new or I finally understand something about which I've been confused, my brain kicks into "party mode" and it's suddenly a time for celebrating! So, before you...
