The sum of it

2019-11-25 by RNDL

Jerry Hill on conversions around 1967 in Guatemala: “These exciting times helped us conclude: when the gospel is preached, there are going to be conversions; when the gospel is preached more, there are going to be more conversions.” What’s the lesson for us?

Against my best judgment

2019-04-18 by RNDL

To several sites such as believingprayer.com and deusconosco.com I’ve been adding images of late. This against my best judgment. It takes more time, which I don’t really have. The gospel is not visual, but auditory. We hear. We read. It’s about words, not images or video. I’m a cantankerous fool who knows that his opinion […]

Study with new couple

2018-07-27 by RNDL

Vicki and I sat down with the parents of our neighbor Paulo this afternoon, and with a family friend who was staying with them while recuperating from pneumonia. Paulo was also present. I presented a lesson about Jesus from John 1.1-18, with a two-page outline. Sr. Vicente and D. Georgina are very religious and committed […]

With the power of the gospel behind you

2018-05-31 by RNDL

O Soul, few books stay in print for more than a decade. Some reference works, perhaps, or something considered as a classic of literature. The monuments of men may last longer, but they too will come tumbling down at some point. The accomplishments of this world are soon forgotten or surpassed. The gospel, however, has […]

Every subject should relate to this

2018-05-07 by RNDL

A man called Lawrence wrote centuries ago, “If I were a preacher, I would preach nothing but practicing the presence of God.” You, O Soul, are a preacher, an evangelist, an announcer of the Good News, whether or not you devote full time to this service. And to live in the presence of God ought […]

Want heaven for yourself and others

2018-05-01 by RNDL

Do not fear to speak truth to those outside of Christ, and to those who need encouragement and correction in the Body. O Soul, you need to hear words of comfort, love, and exhortation. Those around you need them, too. Let your love for souls be known. Make compassion the spring of your speech and […]

Follow-up on (not) church planting

2018-03-09 by RNDL

There’s not much said in the NT about church planting. Plenty is said about proclaiming the gospel. So how did people know how to gather together in community? Reckon the saints said something about the church in their message? Something like, “God formed a people centered in his love. He brings the followers of Christ […]

Goal of missions

2018-03-08 by RNDL

A tweet affirmed that the goal of missions is to plant churches that plant other churches. I have no beef with the general idea. The gospel ought to spread to every place. But the wording doesn’t get much support from the NT. The church is a product of proclaiming the gospel. The emphasis is on […]
