After Pentecost By Donald Gee

October 15, 2014/in Articles by Others, Riches from History /by Tony Cooke

Some people think organization is of the devil. God help them. I read in verse one, “And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.” That’s when the trouble happened, “when the number of the disciples were multiplied.” You can’t run a thing the same way when it is multiplied as you did when it was beginning. … read more

Addiction is an Opportunity by Virgil Stokes

October 15, 2014/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

Ignorance of any subject is a guarantee of ineffective action. The most basic and necessary way to address a problem is to become informed. In our day it is almost criminal to be ignorant in the area of drug and alcohol addiction, yet much of the church labors in the dark. There are many sources of information available with a minimum of effort and expense. … read more

Accountability and the Minister by Bob Yandian

October 15, 2014/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

As ministers across the country fall into moral sins and have to step down from their pulpits by personal decision or board mandates, the cry of many seems to be, “where was the accountability?”Organizations are set up for accountability and many join. Yet, the problems still persist. Where do we as ministers go for accountability? … read more

Avoiding the Seven Deadly Sins of Public Speaking by Pastor Jim Herring

October 15, 2014/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

We all like to hear a powerful and moving message—one that touches our heart and challenges us to reach new heights and greater goals. However, we have all been the unfortunate victims of a poorly planned and executed message. This can be a mind-numbing and torturous event. In order to prevent unnecessary suffering on the part of our future listeners, I submit the seven major public speaking mistakes that people make. … read more

Four Things Pastors Should Know About Restoration

October 15, 2014/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

As a pastor, have you ever been so worn out in your work, that as my quick-witted grandfather used to say, “I am too pooped to pot? ?’ You are probably saying I have been there, done that and don’t want any more of those tee shirts! Ministry can make ministers bone weary and dog-tired! The spiritual/emotional drain on pastors is never ending. … read more

Five Things I’ve Learned About Transition by Dennis Cummins

October 15, 2014/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

When I think of ministry and the fivefold ministry gifts, the concept of honor immediately comes to mind. However, in our day and age, society seems to have lost the heart of honor. Sadly, even many of our churches have pushed honor to the wayside, treating ministers without reverence and respect. … read more

25 Ways to Ride a Dead Horse

October 15, 2014/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

Many variations of “How to Ride a Dead Horse” have appeared, especially on the internet, and I don’t know who the original author is. We’ve rewritten and adapted this slightly for churches, but every organization (whether it’s business, government, educational institutions, etc.) can have a tendency to hold on to old forms long after their effectiveness has diminished or ceased entirely. … read more

Five Things No One Tells You About Marriage by Steve Hutchinson

20 Important Things I’ve Learned in 60 years about Being Fruitful Dr. Dave Williams

October 15, 2014/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

I am now in the final half of my life; perhaps final third. This past February I turned over the church I had pastored for 30+ years to my young protégé and assumed “bishop” duties in helping guide and oversee our 43 daughter churches in the United States and hundreds in Africa and Asia. So, I speak like a Father today. … read more

Four Methods for Mishandling the Greek New Testament by Pastor Keith Trump

October 15, 2014/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

Pastoring remains at once both an astounding privilege and sober responsibility. The Chief Shepherd clearly admonishes us to carefully and faithfully feed his blood purchased flock. Thankfully, the one dispensing this command also provides his under shepherds with abundance of spiritual food. In today’s church culture, marketing consultants drag before pastors a nearly endless parade of sugarcoated sermon aids. … read more

10 Things Every Pastor Should Know Before They Build

September 15, 2014/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

Planning is very important! Start with monthly planning sessions. Do this by first organizing a group that you would like to be involved in the planning process.

Six Tips on Performing Weddings for Unchurched, Non-Christian Couples by Dr. Aubrey Malphurs

January 3, 2014/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

There was a time in my ministry as a pastor when I communicated to inquiring unchurched, non-Christian couples that I wasn’t interested in performing their weddings. I didn’t express it as harshly as it sounds, but that was clearly my attitude. My thinking was, If they can’t bother to come to church, then I can’t bother to cater to their desire to be married in the church, at least my church. … read more

An Analysis of the Tithe (Part One) by James J. Purcell

January 3, 2014/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

What kind of money is it that, if you don’t pay it you are robbing someone and if you do pay it he will pour out a blessing on you? If you don’t steal someone’s car, are they going to pour out a blessing on you? No. They are not even going to thank you. We ordinarily do not bless people for not taking our things.

The Role of Faith Communities in Suicide Prevention by Dr. Timothy Doty

January 3, 2014/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

About 35,000 people die by suicide each year—an average of 1 person every 15 minutes. Approximately 800,000 people attempt suicide a year, which translates to a rate of one attempt every 39 seconds.
