What’s God Saying About the Church? – by Marvin Yoder

January 4, 2023/in Articles by Others /by Marvin Yoder

As a kid attending a very traditional church, I didn’t see the importance of church. Much of the church life I saw was a social event for people to visit. For me, going to church meant that after the service I get to play ball with my friends.… read more

Reaching out with Heaven – by Terry Roberts

December 30, 2022/in Articles by Others /by Terry Roberts

Heaven has not had an appeal to many people simply because it seemed so “other worldly.” As I child I somehow picked up the idea that heaven would be everyone in a big room in choir robes singing songs. What a bore! Who wants to spend eternity in a never – ending church service?.… read more

Praying in the Spirit by Stephanie Trayers

September 23, 2021/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

Our prayer language is a direct line of communication to God. This is a tremendous truth that we should view with the same awe and honor we strive to give to Him in every other area of worship and prayer. … read more

The Church in These Days – by Marvin Yoder

August 30, 2021/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

Many Christians are living in fear of what may happen in the near future. Some have gotten angry and bitter over what has happened in the last several years. Some have given up in despair, resigning themselves for the worst. Others have developed a bunker mentality, some buying survival kits to hide out until bad times are over. … read more

A Book Review of Is Jesus in the Old Testament?

August 25, 2021/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

When I first began to travel by plane, I remember looking down at cities I thought I knew well and being surprised at the difference in perspective a little altitude gives you. Just when you think you know everything there is to know about a place, a simple flyover opens your eyes to things you never saw before. … read more

A Good Report from Your Doctor

October 8, 2020/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

It is quite common for someone to ask for agreement in prayer that they will receive a good report when they visit the doctor for an examination concerning symptoms they have been experiencing. I will not say we can never do this. I will say this is prayer with the wrong focus and it puts faith in a realm where it is not intended to function. … read more

The Power of Church Planting by Lance Fricke

August 6, 2020/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

Years ago, there was a movie called Pay It Forward where a young boy attempts to change the world with one idea. The idea was not just to pay back a favor to someone who had helped you, but to pay it forward with good deeds done to new people. Jesus’ idea to change the world was to commission his followers to go into the world and make disciples (Matthew 28:19). … read more

Why We Serve as Police Chaplains: Three Perspectives

August 6, 2020/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

The Great Shepherd provided pastoral care not only in the temple and in syngogues, but along the dusty streets of Galilee as well. Wherever there was trauma, drama, or unexpected and sudden pain, you would find Jesus. The Master is my motivation and model for Police Chaplain Ministry. … read more

Balanced Pastoral Authority by Edwin Anderson

June 25, 2020/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

The Holy Spirit appoints pastors to the local church to oversee its operation, and He gives the vision for the church to them. It is then the pastor’s responsibility before God to steer the church in that direction. He has the God-given authority to govern it. The pastor is to maintain control over every ministry of the local church. … read more

The Role of Tongues in the Local Church by Keith Trump

May 13, 2020/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

There has always existed, within the framework of church history, two extreme views regarding the role of tongues in public worship services. Unfortunately, in both their theological positions and practice, churches have tended to swing to either one extreme or the other. My assessment on the matter comes from over three decades of ministry in the capacities of a church planter, pastor, and teacher of biblical languages. … read more

Men’s Ministry by Pastor Ron McKey

March 10, 2020/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

According to recent data, only 1 in 6 men attend weekend services. We are not connecting with them. In fact, most times when we do address men in our Churches, we are telling them what they are doing wrong or how they are neglecting their responsibilities. Who wants to be told on a regular basis that you are not doing a good job? … read more

Ablaze With God’s Word—The Fiery Effect of God’s Word in the Heart by Rick Renner

March 9, 2020/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

If you want to keep your spiritual life fiery hot for the rest of your life on earth, you need to maintain a consistent intake of the Word of God. It’s the first key to keeping your heart ablaze for Jesus because it is foundational to all the other types of fuel you need to add to the fire in your heart: prayer, the Holy Spirit, worship, a passion for souls, generosity, holiness, humility, regard for authority, and the fear of the Lord. … read more

How To Experience A Deeper Relationship With God by Karen Jensen Salisbury

February 12, 2020/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

Let me ask you a question: How did you get close to the people you’re close to? How did you get to know your parents, your best friend, your love, as well as you do? The answer is, you talked to them. You spent quality time with them. You listened to them and shared your heart with them. You couldn’t wait to hang out with them … read more

Journey at the End of Life by Jodi Diehl

January 8, 2020/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

Unless we die an instantaneous death, it is a journey we will all be forced to face, with very little preparation, skills, resources or past experiences to guide us through. Honestly, when was the last time you searched your favorite bookstore for resources on how to die strong? Again, even those two words do not naturally fall together. … read more

Spiritual Cupbearers and the Pulpit’s Task by Rick Renner

September 4, 2019/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

When you know that the Spirit of God is alive in your children, let them know that being led by the Holy Spirit is a normal, expected part of the life of every believer, including them! Depending on your own experience, you may have found yourself struggling over the years with the ability to hear from God. But resolve in your own mind that this really is the plan God has for His people, and don’t settle for anything less for your children. … read more

LIFE Internship / DEEP Bible Training Center by Pastors Dean & Kathy Shropshire

July 6, 2019/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

When you talk to many young adults and ask them what they want to do with their lives, many have no idea. Or, some may think they do, but figure out shortly after, that they were mistaken. The fact is so many young people today are just “winging it” through life because they do not know what God says; most especially what God says about them. … read more

Two Altar Call Extremes by Mark Boer

June 5, 2019/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

Doing the work of an evangelist, though not being one, has long been important to me as a pastor. I want to see people saved. I don’t want to pass up the opportunity to win them to Christ if they come to our Sunday services – thus the altar call. I am a believer in giving this type of invitation every Sunday and have seen first-hand the fruit that comes from giving an effective one. Because of this, I have given much thought to both what is said and how it is said. … read more

What If I’m Not a Christian Superstar? by Greg Mohr

March 7, 2019/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

Many churches are famous for recognizing and platforming the super-gifted and talented members of the body. Those talented musicians, singers, or artists who can bring immediate benefit to the ministry of the local church seem to receive an inordinate amount of attention and respect by church leaders compared to the average, everyday faithful member of the church. … read more

It All Depends: Changing the Picture You Fit Into by Marvin Yoder

March 7, 2019/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

Having the life and ministry God wants us to have is not totally up to God; it is dependent or contingent upon our response to His will. Sometimes God tells people things they don’t feel they can do or accomplish. Perhaps they looked at themselves, their surroundings, and their resources and concluded they don’t have what it takes to do what they heard God say. And if that is all they looked at, they may be correct! … read more

90 Days of Believing God by Rodney Payne

February 5, 2019/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

A genuine faith in God leads you to commit completely to Him. Commitment is a responsibility given to believers by God. Failing to take care of your responsibility cannot be credited to anything or anyone but you. It’s up to you to hear from God by faith. It’s up to you to trust the plan of God, and it’s up to you to handle your responsibility of commitment to God. … read more

The Legacy of Youth Ministry by Dr. Pamela McNeese

February 5, 2019/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

The idea of gathering children for religious instruction has deep historical roots, as has been evidenced within the Jewish culture. The Hebrew people were considered nomads and the tribal leaders also were included in the role of pedagogy. History validates that every synagogue was a school and all the children were required to attend the schools on the Sabbath to receive that instruction. … read more

This Generation! Every Nation? by Matt Beemer

January 4, 2019/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

Is it possible that our generation will finally be the generation that brings completion to the Great Commission? If we commit to key strategic choices, we can, and we will! “We can if we want to!” That was the conclusion five William College students came too as they sheltered under the cover of a haystack in the middle a Western Massachusetts farm. It was the summer of 1806 and as they were praying, they were caught in a sudden downpour. … read more

ENGENDERED: What Was God Thinking? by Patsy Cameneti

December 6, 2018/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

For many years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching the subject of marriage and family, a topic I believe is very close to the heart of God. The Bible schools where I taught were in different countries with different traditions and cultures regarding the subject, so I prayerfully asked the Lord to help me represent His thoughts and ways and not just the culture I was most familiar with or my personal experience. … read more
