Note, while the messages on this page will be of special interest to pastors/aspiring pastors, generally none are so technical or difficult that they will not be unto general edification to all of the people of God. Many were delivered on Lord's Day's to the entire congregation, or during the adult Sabbath School hour.

What kind of men does the church draw to and set apart for its official ministry? The answer to this question provides a sure index of the state of that church. In the light of this fact, few things are of greater importance in the practical life of any congregation or denomination than its understanding of what constitutes a Biblical call to the work of the ministry. Those who are vitally concerned with raising the standard of general godliness and piety in our churches must be concerned with raising the standard for entrance into the Christian ministry.
