Yield not to temptation, for yielding is sin; Each vict’ry will help you some other to win; Fight valiantly onward; dark passions subdue; Look ever to Jesus; He will carry you through.

Fill Thou my life, O Lord my God, In every part with praise, That my whole being may proclaimThy being and Thy ways. Not for the lip of praise alone,Nor e’en the praising heart, I ask, but for a life made upOf praise in every part!

Albert Mohler once stated, “The Christian pastor holds the greatest office of human responsibility in all creation.” Yet of all the high positions one can fill in society—a member of Congress, a golf professional, a cardiothoracic surgeon, etc.—the pastorate wouldn’t even make the top ten in most people’s minds. Is the designation “greatest office … in all creation” an apt description or hyperbole?

Dear Friend,
I just returned from the SING! Conference, hosted by my friends Keith and Kristyn Getty. Part of my responsibility was to encourage pastors like myself to take seriously our role as it relates to the singing of the congregation. We considered how the twelfth verse of Hebrews 2 should guide our thinking: “I will tell of your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.”

The apostle Paul frequently instructed the early church to hold firm to the integrity of the Gospel message and nothing else. The book Gospel People: A Call for Evangelical Integrity is written with similar intent: to direct us not to be distracted or divided by secondary issues and instead focus on what Alistair often refers to as “the main things and the plain things.”

The word cult describes a manipulative and dangerous religious group. Cults usually appeal to the dissatisfied, fearful, and vulnerable. They draw people into their scope by offering expectancy in a hopeless world, identity in an anonymous world, and security in an unstable world.

When Titus was pastoring the church in Crete, he received these instructions from Paul about his congregation: “Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people” (Titus 3:1–2).
