HELPING PEOPLE MOVE FORWARD

THOSE YOU CAN COUNT ON

THOSE YOU CAN COUNT ON

by Bill Elliff June 26, 2023

I wonder what Paul was really like. If he were in our church, what would we think about him? He was amazingly intense, and incredibly focused. He never hesitated to challenge others. I doubt he'd be the guy who'd just piddle around much. Not that it's necessarily wrong or sinful, but I don't see him playing video games or watching television till the early morning hours.

As a pastor for the last 55 years, I have had the joy of being encouraged and blessed and prayed for by so many people. It is what carries you in your task of shepherding people. As I look back over five decades of ministry, their love has dramatically enriched my life.

But also, a pastor leads. And when anyone leads, there are almost always some who disagree.

HOW TO FIND GOD’S WILL

HOW TO FIND GOD’S WILL

by Bill Elliff January 25, 2023

Our greatest questions in life all surround God’s will. “What is His path for me? What is the next, right step? Where should I go? What should I do next?” ... God is not capricious.

BECOMING A RELIABLE CHRISTIAN

by Bill Elliff July 13, 2022

Many professing followers of Christ are very weak. Their lives are marked by a daily battle with petty sins they should have overcome many years ago. They must constantly be reminded of the most elemental truth.

RIGHTLY ALIGNED COURAGE

RIGHTLY ALIGNED COURAGE

by Bill Elliff May 11, 2022

The world takes notice of courageous leaders. The war in Ukraine is led by a man (Zelensky) who has become a recognized leader precisely because of his unselfish, but persistent courage. The Ukrainian people are winning battles that, on paper, they should not be winning. Their leader is courageous, and it is inspiring them to be the same.

HOW GOD LEADS US

HOW GOD LEADS US

by Bill Elliff May 04, 2022

God created men and women in His image. We have been fearfully and wonderfully made with amazing uniqueness and abilities. But none of us were designed to run without God. Millions have tried, with disastrous results. But when a man--particularly a leader--relies upon God with simple, consistent dependency, he discovers that God is waiting to lead him and those who follow him with amazing clarity.

This is made even worse when they come against you regarding things that are not true. When you have done right, but others do not understand.
