WHEN TO STAND AND WHEN TO YIELD By Ken Blue “Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.” Acts 16:3. When one reads all that Paul had to say about [...]

THAT WE MAY BE ABLE By Ken Blue “Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we [...]

SHOW ME THE PICTURE By Ken Blue Recently a family took a two week vacation, traveling across the country to visit sites of interest. They were faithful in church attendance each Sunday and sought out a Baptist Church whenever possible. The wife said to her pastor, “Pastor, I was so disappointed. It was almost impossible [...]

THE NON-EVANGELIST; EVANGELIST

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

THE NON-EVANGELIST; EVANGELIST By Ken Blue I have no interest in hurting anyone’s income. My objective is to give a biblical definition and explanation of what I, and many others believe the ministry of the evangelist should be. “And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;” Ephesians [...]

MUSIC AND EVANGELISM

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

MUSIC AND EVANGELISM By Ken Blue “Music is never used in Scripture as a means of reaching the lost.” (quoted from a “music evangelist” ??)

HOW TO GET NOTICED IN CHURCH By Ken Blue For anyone to claim that he or she has not enjoyed the attention of others would be less than telling the truth. But, if you are the sort who craves it, here are a few tips that usually work. The first is, to loiter in the [...]

THE SIGN MINISTRY

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

THE SIGN MINISTRY By Ken Blue Pastor Al Hughes shared with me this week the sign ministry they have instituted in their church. The results have been rewarding, with new visitors each Sunday.

AN AMAZING FISHING STORY By Ken Blue I saw a news report recently of two men who were fishing in the dark of night. I am not sure if their method was legal or not, or if they kept the fish. They were in a small aluminum boat shining a spotlight around in the water. [...]
