Jesus gave attention to the one hundred sheep by dividing them into two groups . It is not complicated the way Jesus viewed this flock . Undoubtedly , the flock was like others with thousands of different characteristics , quirks , idiosyncrasies , needs , preferences , demands , and urgencies . Beyond the sheep's individualities , Jesus saw them either safe or lost . What a critical clarification to catch through the eyes and heart of Christ ! Safe or lost ! My conviction is that God sees…

The last  cord of evangelism today is Now . If we do not do something now , this generation's evangelism will be like the man on the road from Jerusalem to Jericho ( Luke 10:30 ) . It will fall among robbers and be stripped of its New Testament urgency . Gone will be the heartbreak , tear shedding , the do-or-die soul-winning that God told us to do when He said , ''They that sow in tears shall reap in joy . He that goeth forth and weepeth , bearing precious seed , shall doubtless come again…

True church growth is not the result of methods . It is the result of the supernatural activity of God , who desires to redeem persons to Himself . When a church discovers and applies the kingdom principles of church growth , increases in the church naturally follow .

Jesus Christ is the church's Overseer. '' For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls '' ( 1 Pet, 2;25) , Jesus the Overseer watches over and directs His churches, He sees all of His churches and observes all that is going on in the lives of His people. He places the responsibilities of being overseers on church leaders, who are to fllow His example .

Jesus Christ is Lord of lords ( Rev. 19:16 ) . Christ is Lord and owner of all things . He is the church's absolute sovereign . The church belongs to Him . Ultimate authority for all church functions and leadership resides in Him . Christ's lordship places all church leaders in the role of stewards . Until church leaders recognize Him as their sovereign Lord , they will never experience His lordship in their leadership of the church . God bless you all. 

What great company you will be in when you are numbered among the servants ! '' It shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many '' ( Matt. 20:26-28 ) . Jesus said in that text that becoming a servant is where real greatness lies with Him and in the Kingdom to come . In…

There are many situations in which care is needed in this world . The children of China and the hungry of Africa truly need care . Our water and air need care and concern . Some will cry out , ''We need to care for the spotted owl and the sea turtle , too ! ''  Who do you know who truly cares for the souls of men and women ? God the Father cares for souls .  He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believed in Him would not perish , but would have life everlasting . God did that because…

While you are thinking about what's good and right at your church, think God for your Sunday School ! There is nothing in the world like a church's Sunday Ministry . It is sad to hear of denominations that see Sunday School only for children . Sunday School is the backbone and spinal cord of a church. God Bless You All .

All religions and persuasions are like a wheel going to the same place but just from different directions. God is the Hub , and all religions will eventually get you to Him . You know God just smiles kindly and ended . ''It really doesn't matter which Religion you follow. As long as you are sincere and faithful, you'll end up happy with God at the end . God Bless  You ALL

The interesting collection of folk who meet at your church house and have accepted Christ as their Savior . They are saved , and they are the Church , and they are local . They are the group that God expects to win the world ! God has chosen , therefore , to work through them to proclaim Jesus the hope of glory . Look at the people in church next Sunday and during the week submerged in their work-a-day world . They may look unlikely , but all of them are awesome spirit beings , fully able in…
