Lessons From the Garden: Growing At Different Paces

Posted on May 31, 2025June 14, 2025 by dmgreen99

I love this time of year – especially getting my hands dirty in the soil and working in the garden. My garden is not as large here as what it was in Ohio but we still have one here. Today as I was planting some more vegetables I noticed some of my cucumber plants are…

Things May Not Be What You Have Heard

Posted on May 30, 2025June 1, 2025 by dmgreen99

“These things I have spoken to you so that you may be kept from stumbling. They will put you out of the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God. These things they will do because they did not know the Father or…

A Good Name

Posted on May 30, 2025 by dmgreen99

“A good name is to be chosen over great wealth, Favor is better than silver and gold.” (Pro 22:1, LSB) “Better is a good name than good oil, And better is the day of one’s death than the day of one’s birth.” (Ecc 7:1, LSB) “Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain…

Lessons From the Garden: Dead Or Slow Growing?

Posted on May 30, 2025June 14, 2025 by dmgreen99

Every preacher ought to be a gardener of some sort. There’s lessons to be learned out there! See that greenery in the picture taller than the weeds? That’s my banana tree that I planted about three years ago. Every winter there is a freeze that gets it but it has always grown back as the…

Thank God for the “Celebrity Preachers”

Posted on May 14, 2025June 14, 2025 by dmgreen99

As I write this, the news of Josh Buice’s fall is still hitting hard. What sad news! I only met him once and our time together, while brief, was not bad at all. In fact, he was very cordial to me and my family. It was at G3 Conference 2023. My youngest son (10 years…

It’s Not Just The Big Preachers That Fall

Posted on May 12, 2025May 15, 2025 by dmgreen99

Every time there is anything that happens with a famous preacher, the blame is placed on conferences or “celebrity culture” (whatever that is) or social media. But such blame misses the mark. At the root of it all, the issue is the flesh: “Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: sexual immorality,…

Preferences and Pastors

Posted on January 1, 2025 by dmgreen99

I recently received a phone call from a brother from another church who wanted to complain about his pastor’s preaching style. This was shocking to me because he went so far as to say the church needed a new pastor. There was no charge of heresy or sin; he just simply didn’t like his style….

The Great Christian Motivation

Posted on May 10, 2024May 11, 2024 by dmgreen99

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” (1 Corinthians 10:31) This is the great motivation of the Christian life. It isn’t fear of sin, or the punishment of sin. The great motivation is not to be invited to more Bible Conferences. The great motivation is…

Only Two Officers In A Church

Posted on May 9, 2024 by dmgreen99

“Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.” (1 Timothy 5:17 KJV) Biblically, there are only two officers in a church, pastor and deacon. They are not the same. What I mean is, the deacons are not pastors and pastors are not…

Don’t Be Suspicious of Plurality of Pastors

Posted on April 10, 2024May 9, 2024 by dmgreen99

“Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren:” (Acts 15:22) The New Testament pattern is not elder-rule, but rather it is an elder-led congregationalism. This is good…
