Books for Pastors in Africa

I am honored to have the first three volumes of my “for Pastors” New Testament commentary series be a part of providing a basic Biblical library for select pastors in Africa. Grace Church is spearheading the effort, as you can see here. All the books will be packed into individual libraries and provided to several thousand qualifying pastors. Follow the link to see how you can be a part of helping to provide these valuable resources to these faithful shepherds of God’s people.

Would you pray with me that God will use all these Biblical resources to build up our brother pastors?

“If within us we find nothing over us we succumb to what is around us.”
“You’re gonna have to serve somebody,
It may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody. “

“Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?”
–Apostle Paul (Romans 6:16)
“… by what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved.”
–Apostle Peter (2 Peter 2:19b)

–Jesus (John 8:34)

Lost in Space

“I believe that with the loss of God, man has lost a kind of absolute and universal system of coordinates, to which he could always relate everything, chiefly himself. His world and his personality gradually began to break up into separate, incoherent fragments corresponding to different, relative, coordinates.” –Vaclav Havel (quoted by Philip Yancey, Rumours of Another World, p.25).
