ADVICE

Preach God's Word Uncompromisingly

  • Preach the authoritative Word of God, not opinions or popular messages.
  • Be prepared in season and out of season to correct, rebuke, and encourage with patience.
INSIGHT

Timelessness Of Biblical Truth

  • There is no "new" improved message beyond Scripture; truth is timeless.
  • If a teaching is truly biblical it isn't novel, and novelty often signals error.
ADVICE

Preach With Urgency And Courage

  • Preach and teach the Word with urgency and fervency because our time is limited.
  • Let Scripture shape lives even if it produces conviction or losses; that's God's work.
