KEY VERSE: (Philippians 2:19‑22 KJV) “But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state. {20} For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state. {21} For all seek their own, not the things which […]

Culture Changers
From the APOSTOLIC TIMES by Howard H. Davis Vol.22 Issue 1 June 2010 It has been a good number of years since I published The Apostolic Times. For approximately 20 years, every month, 3000 copies of the 10 to 20 page tabloid were mailed out to Preachers across the USA, Canada and to Missionaries on […]
Why the Old Men Wept
And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel. And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto […]
Seared Instead of Sacred!
1Ti 4:1-2 “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;” Far too many people have an unconscious conscience. Most people seem to think that their conscience […]
Gospel Scammers…. they promise much…. but provide less…..
I’ve been both fascinated and frustrated about something for several years now. Have you noticed how companies are shrinking the size of their products while keeping the packaging the same? The result is less product while the price stays the same or goes up. Marketing experts argue that consumers are more sensitive to price changes […]
Division Is Only A Temporary Condition
I Cor. Chapter 5. Division cannot be thought of as a permanent condition, at least, not in the affairs of man. Division is only a temporary condition. It will not always allow the scales to remain at balance. Division is temporary because either one element of the division will be purged or the other element […]
Anointing is Not Always a Divine Anointing
I have, through time in the ministry, witnessed some unmistakable manifestations of Satan. I have seen people wither on the floor like snakes and small individuals throw several large men around like rag dolls among other various exhibitions. These people manifested strength and abilities not their own but were clearly the workings of the enemy. No doubt, […]
The Pulpit – Open or Respected?
First, it is clear that there is no such thing as “an open pulpit.” We realize what the phrase was meant to convey, but in reality there is no such thing as a pulpit that is truly open to any and all doctrines, ideas, philosophies and arguments. No true preacher of the gospel would allow […]
Study To Shew Thyself Approved
I have come to a conclusion, after years of observing and inquiry of a plethora of preachers, that there are about as many different study and sermon preparation ways as there are preachers. But one thing is certain—preachers must be students—students of the Word, of people, events and life in general. To “study” is not […]
Stories
I have become wearied at times as I have sat listening to certain preachers that place one story upon another story that leads to yet another story –without one hint of Biblical substance. And people seem to love it — but if that is what it is all about we ought to trade in the […]
