Preaching with Precision and Power

Posted on June 5, 2018Leave a comment

This fall, October 23-25, I will be attending the Institute for Expository Preaching conference hosted by the National Center for Family Integrated Churches at Ridgecrest Conference Center near Asheville, North Carolina.

Steven Lawson is among the most influential pastors in our day. He is committed to epuipping and energizing God’s people in the western church by preparing a “new generation of biblical expositors.” In John MacArthur’s first sermon at Grace Community Church he told that congregation that the “church is the conscience of the world.”

We are in a day that needs a conscience from a faithful generation of biblical expositors.

Do you know a pastor who would like to go with me? Do you want to partner in getting pastors to this conference? Would you pray with me for this current generation to have a faithful witness of the oracles of God widely preached from the pulpits in our land once again? Contact me with more information.

During the Time of Your Stay on Earth

Join me at the National Center for Family Integrated Churches Fear of God conference
at Ridgecrest Conference Center in Ashville, NC October 27-29, 2016.

“How Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in His ways.” (Psalm 128:1)

I will have the opportunity to gather with some of the most looked to men of God in our day. Men like Ken Ham, John Snyder, Joel Beeke, Jeff Pollard, Carlton McLeod, Scott Brown, Craig Houston, and many others. (Full list of speakers)

Over the past several months I’ve participated in a daily devotional on the Fear of God. You may want to take some time to meditate on the Fear of God with these devotions. (All devotion videos)

I will address the Fear of God from the following position.

During the Time of Your Stay on Earth
(Background: Psalm 128:1, Ecclesiasties 12:13-14, 1 Peter 1:17, Hebrews 12:28-29)

It is said again and again in our day; “to err is human”. Could it be said better? “to fear God is human.” This will be our safety net to cover all our wandering ways, sinful indulgences, and actions against our creator.

The philosophy of men gives us permission to sin; even to laughingly brush away the conclusion that, even in our fallen condition, we are called out to fear God and keep His commandments.

How do we keep ourselves from wanting less than what God calls us to; Himself.

A problem many of us are blinded with is that we are more impressed with what God will give us than we are with God. Many spend a lifetime of energy trying to “walk in His Ways” or “keep His commandments” and never come to fear or know Him (1 Peter 1:17).

If we are to walk in His ways in a manner that is considered an acceptable service, we are to do so with reverence and awe “for our God is a consuming fire.” (Hebrews 12:28-29)

The Burning in my Soul

Last October (2015) I had the occasion to attend and participate in the “Holiness of God” conference hosted at Ridgecrest Conference Center in North Carolina.

I had two speaking duties; this one was at a men and boys lunch “the Burnings in the Soul” at the National Center for Family Integrated Churches annual conference.

“Oh that my preaching would be barren of the philosophies of men and rich with the Word of God that liberates men from their sin and gives helpful instruction as a lamp to light a dark path for the follower of Christ.”
