BLOG AND BOOKS FOR YOUR MINISTRY
Mike Hess, GARBC national representative, suggests the following resources for your ministry toolbox:

  • “What I Love to Ponder at 10:01 a.m. on Sunday Morning”
    Blogger Tim Challies writes an excellent piece on the significance of what happens when God’s people gather on Sunday morning. May we never lose the awe and wonder of assembling together as a local church!
  • Authorized: The Use and Misuse of the King James Bible by Mark Ward
    Using a winsome, compelling, and respectful manner, the author systematically addresses the view of using only the King James Version. This book is an excellent discipleship tool in working with someone who comes from a background espousing this view.
  • Learning and Living God’s Word by Daniel Estes
    Looking for a helpful tool on how to interpret Scripture? This newly revised edition, published by Regular Baptist Press, will help newer and older believers alike with not only reading Scripture but also interpreting God’s Word correctly. Proper interpretation of the Bible will lead to proper application of the Bible.
