The Supreme Court Decision and Disciple Making in our Churches – Part I
July 18, 2012 by Glenn Rogers
After delivering this message at our Pastors’ Conference/Executive Committee this month many requested my notes and outline so here it is in a slightly expanded form. This is on my heart deeply and lines up with some of my existing concerns for churches today. Rarely has a U.S. Supreme Court decision hit me so hard. Hear me [...]
Our Challenges On Easter
April 4, 2012 by Glenn Rogers
Well, first of all we think of space for people and special portions of the service as just some regular challenges that most churches face. Yet a much bigger challenge exists because of the cultural view of Easter Sunday. The truth that Christ rose bodily from the grave “for our justification” (Rom 4:25) is more [...]

Why So Little Impact and Results?
January 10, 2012 by Glenn Rogers
Yes. These days it seems the question screams for answers – Why does our sincere effort in Bible preaching and teaching have so little impact and yield such little results? When I say “impact and results” I am speaking of changed lives and changing lives. We know the Bible says in Romans 1 that the “Gospel [...]
A Symptom of Our Weakness – “Pop Christianity”
September 30, 2010 by Glenn Rogers
Just this week I had an occasion to visit a Christian Book store. I’ll be kind and not mention the name/location but I’m afraid I could name many and most would fit what I saw. First it wasn’t much about books at all. Some even have changed their names from the traditional “book store” to [...]
Touched AND Transformed, Part II
July 14, 2010 by Glenn Rogers
Having made a distinction between God’s touch and His transformation let us examine further what is involved in transformation. Remember, it is a person having a permanent righteous relationship with God through Christ. Also, how can equipping pastors help people be transformed, changed by God, and know it! First, we must believe that the Gospel and ONLY the [...]
Touched AND Transformed, Part I
June 22, 2010 by Glenn Rogers
All of us in ministry want to touch lives for the Kingdom of God. We may however have a variation of thoughts as to what “touch” should mean. I do know we all want to see lives “transformed”. I am going to draw a distinction between the two words and show a literal example from the [...]
Does A Survey Point to Truth?
October 22, 2009 by Glenn Rogers
Earlier in October Parade Magazine published findings of their recent religious summarized in an article by Christine Wicker. (Ms Wicker is also the author of “The Fall of the Evangelical Nation”). This article covered some of the usual areas like religion’s purpose, prayer, and beliefs. We as “people of the Book” are never quite sure how much to take from [...]
A MOVE OF GOD, WHERE IS IT???
October 13, 2009 by Glenn Rogers
When Elisha had witnessed the “rapture” of his mentor Elijah, this confirmed the promise made to him that God’s plan included the Spirit’s power on him just like Elijah experienced. II Kings 2:9,10. Yet even with this he did NOT presume upon the promise. He went to the Jordan and in open humility (tore his clothes) he desired God Himself to “show up”. He struck the water [...]
Are You Willing to Pay the Price?
August 12, 2009 by Glenn Rogers
Any servant of God WILL pay a high price as they choose not to be shallow, normal, simplistic, or common. It is absurd to think we will get through this life unscathed and un-scarred! This is magnified by a sincere desire to serve Christ and lead God’s people to follow him II Timothy 3 The [...]
Are You Qualified to Serve God and Lead His People?
August 3, 2009 by Glenn Rogers
When we hear the word “qualified” our thoughts likely go to the portions of the Pastoral Epistles written to Timothy and Titus where some very strict qualifications are set forth for Pastors (Elders, Bishops). I believe there is another passage that even more fundamentally relates to the call of God and to whom He will [...]
