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 […]

God Said Let Us Make Man
God Said, “Let Us Make Man.” Man Said, “Let Us Make God.” In Ex 32 Aaron’s excuse in making a golden calf says that the people said to him, “Make us gods that will go before us, for as for this fellow Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, […]
Delay Of Defeat
BITTEN TODAY – BEATEN TOMORROW Sometimes in the ongoing struggles for the faith it appears that some warriors leave the battlefield today with only a few cuts after dealing the enemy a trouncing but then, much later, that same warrior succumbs to the very enemy that yesterday he prevailed over. Seems that somehow that warrior, […]
Do You See Your Calling?
What exactly is this mysterious encounter – the “Call of God?” Perhaps it is not easily defined or relatable but we are certain that every true preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ must have experienced – a Call. “For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not […]
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 […]
Holiness is an issue of the heart
Holiness is an issue of the heart. And the issues of life cometh out of the heart. That’s another way of saying that what is IN the heart is shown OUTWARDLY. Make no mistake about it — God requires both! Both the Old Testament and the New Testament are filled with instructions regarding outward things: […]
A Reason to Cry
A Reason to Cry Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations. My wife and I have been blessed the last few days to have our daughter, and our two grandchildren, visit with us. Observing these two grandchildren is one of the joys of life. Rory, being three years […]
Fellowship is many faceted
Fellowship is many faceted. From what may first appear as a relatively simple concept comes a spin-off of complexity. Like a river in reverse flow, rather than many tributaries flowing into a main artery, it is a current flowing into many tributaries. The Spirit flowing in the main artery of our lives (the heart) dictates […]
Who Are You To Judge Me?
“Who Are You To Judge Me?” How many times have we heard someone say that, whether it was directed to us or to someone else? It’s easy for most of us to get offended when others express disapproval of our actions. By nature, most of us are very private. We resent outsiders intruding uninvited into […]
Define Grace.
This demand reminds me of Abraham Lincoln’s “The Elephant and The Blind Men” illustration where several blind men use their sense of touch to describe an elephant. One of the blind men, standing next to the elephant’s leg, describes the elephant much like a tree trunk while another, standing near the trunk, describes the elephant […]
