Just Doing It For Jesus
YOUNG Seminarian Bill Wright and the elderly lady Bible worker had a list of five hundred persons to visit. Their only transportation was on foot, and the rolling hills of Montego Bay, Jamaica, made every step an effort. In each home they visited they talked of the previous night's meeting. Frequently the people would reply to their questions regarding the best part of the program with, "The sermons, the sermons." And as the two workers left, the seminarian would often overhear the Bible instructor softly say, "Just doing it for Jesus. I'm just doing it for Jesus."

Our Historic Faith and Contemporary Conflict (Part 1)

Making Your Sermons Live
A GREAT hazard in preaching is that the one to deliver the message may become self-sufficient, feeling that once the sermon is prepared he can relax in the assurance that it will accomplish its purpose.
