CHARLES BRIDGES - The Christian Ministry

Era È

Bridges lays out a general view of the Christian ministry, but quickly and bluntly delves into possible causes for a man's lack of success. Defects are suggested such as absence of entire devotedness of the heart; conformity to the world; fear of man; absence of self-denial; pride, and defective personal or family religion.
A pastor cannot read these chapters honestly without deep self-examination of his piety and conduct. But wouldn't the mature Christian benefit from such self-assessment as well? Here are clear biblical standards for the Christian in the church... both the pastor and his people. And as we pray for more workers to be sent into the harvest, these are the character traits we should expect to see in the spiritual leaders of a rising generation.

JOHN PIPER - Supremacy of God in Preaching

Era È

There are certain books that become available to us which ought to be allowed to cut into the line of unread books and be given a high priority in the stewardship of the time that is allocated for useful reading. One such book is The Supremacy of God in Preaching by John Piper.
This book sets forth a biblical case for the kind of preaching which under the blessing of God will bring us face-to-face with the vision of an all glorious and enthroned God. Much biblical counsel is given with respect to the cultivation of utter dependence upon the power of the Spirit of God in undertaking the task of preaching. The author then identifies ten specific elements in the preaching of Jonathan Edwards that modern preachers ought to seek to embody in their own preaching ministries. This material is a marvelous distillation of a comprehensive view of what constitutes true biblical preaching.

LEON MORRIS - The Apostolic Preaching of the Cross

Era È

Here is an tempt to understand what was in the apostles' minds when they used such words as "redeem," "covenant," "propitiate," "reconcile," and "justify." Morris studies these themes against the background of relevant Old Testament passages, takes into account the light shed on the meanings of these words in the everyday language of New Testament times, and compares apostolic terminology to that used by the rabbinic writings. The result is a regarding study of one of the major themes of Christian theology--the death of Christ and the interpretation of its significance by the early church.

CHARLES P. McILVAINE - Preaching Christ The Heart of Gospel Ministry

Era È

The New Testament leaves us in no doubt that the heart of the preaching of the Apostles and the early church was Christ. Every example of preaching from the apostolic era centers on this same grand theme. Yet so often, in the centuries since, the church has weakened her own witness and effectiveness by veering away from the apostolic example. How did the Apostles preach Christ? What mistakes must preachers today avoid? What is involved in preaching Christ? And what are the essential qualifications of heart and mind for this great work? These are the questions Bishop Charles P. McIlvaine set out to answer in this address to those entering the ministry.
