📌 It’s Okay To Leave the Spoon in the Bottom of the Sink

📌 The Cup … Are you Able?
You know, the disciples once got into an argument about who would sit at Jesus’ right hand and who would sit at His left. They were thinking about position, honor, and visibility. But Jesus looked at them and gently said:
“You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?”
— Matthew 20:22, NKJV
What a question… Continue reading

Ministry Notes: Why You Shouldn’t Let Just Anyone Lay Hands on You
Kenneth E. Hagin — Key Principles & Examples
⸻
1. Principle: Laying on of Hands Is a Point of Impartation
• Scripture teaches that laying on of hands is one of the elementary doctrines (Heb. 6:2).
• It is not symbolic only; it is a moment of spiritual transfer.
• Hagin emphasized that power, faith, gifts, or even wrong spirits can be transmitted.
Key Quote (paraphrased):
“Spiritual things are real. Something is imparted when hands are laid on you — for good or for bad.”

Guidelines for Ministers Who Teach About Emotional and Mental Healing
1. Stay Within Your Scope of Competence
Speak confidently about the Word, pastoral experience, and Spirit-led insight — but recognize when a topic crosses into professional territory.
“I’m not a licensed counselor, but here’s the spiritual side of what we’re talking about.”
This humble clarity protects both minister and listener. Continue reading “Ministry Ethics: Referencing Psychology with Care”
Would Jesus Use The Internet?
📌Would Jesus Use the Internet?
Yes. I believe He would. Jesus always went where the people were. In His day, that meant the temple, the synagogues, the hillsides, the marketplaces, the dinner tables, and even the seashore. He met Nicodemus by night, Zacchaeus in a tree, and a woman at a well. If the crowds gather somewhere, Jesus shows up there.
Today, billions gather daily on the Internet. It has become the modern “marketplace of ideas.” If Jesus came in the flesh in this generation, it’s hard to imagine Him ignoring the largest gathering place in human history.
How Might He Use It?
1. Teaching the Word
• Just as He sat on a mountain and taught the Sermon on the Mount, He might stream His messages online so the multitudes could hear.
• He could use short parables in posts, videos, or threads …modern equivalents of mustard seed stories that go viral in people’s hearts. Continue reading “Would Jesus Use The Internet?”
Ministry After Retirement
Shared:
📌Dear Sir Series
Dear Preacher,
I have watched you write some encouraging things for us older folks about not giving up and needing to press on. Often I have thought I was just supposed to go into some kind of prayer room and be a prayer warrior… you know, let my voice be heard in the heavenlies, and then after prayer time, I should just go clear out the shed for the Mrs. But, my heart has never been happy about that tone of living.
Is it really possible to start a full-time ministry after retirement? Have others done it? Does the Bible promise me success and not a huge amount of heartbreak? I’ve got lots of experience with our Heavenly Father, but never really believed this way.
Thanks for everything. I appreciate all you share.
Sincerely,
Eddy from USA
