Don’t Call Me “Reverend”

Don’t Call Me “Reverend”
Written by: Min. Tim Butler
(New York)
 
By now, many of you may have already heard that I was recently ordained to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.  The officiating elder asked me how did I prefer to be ordained?  I chose to be ordained as Elder or Minister because both of these terms [...]





Is Your Pastor A Performer -or- Entertainer?
Written by:  Deacon Tim Butler
What did the Apostle Paul mean when he told Pastor Timothy that the time would come when men will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they seek teachers who will tickle their ears (2 Timothy 4:3).  I believe we are now [...]





The Improper Use of Faith

The Improper Use of Faith
Written by: Deacon Tim Butler
The word “faith” has been misused among so-called believers and, to some extent, has caused many to stray from the faith.  What do I mean by this?  Many of today’s false prophets are in some way or another affiliated with “The Word Of Faith Movement”.  For those [...]





Corruption In The Church

Corruption In The Church
Written by: Deacon Tim Butler
(New York)
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter (Isaiah 5:20)!
I notice many of the preachers in the area in which I live (Hempstead, New York), galvanize themselves [...]





The Effect Of True Preaching

The Effect Of True Preaching
Written by:  Deacon Tim Butler
There are so many churches set up on many of the streets of America today.  You may find a church on virtually every street corner or every other street corner of every block in many of our high crime communities.  Why so many churches and yet still [...]





God Used Satan To “Set Us Up”

God Used Satan To “Set Us Up”

(Blindsided With A Curve Ball)
 
Barack Obama
 
Written by:  Deacon Tim Butler
 
(1 Thes 2:10, 11), Because man doesn’t have the love of the truth, God said He would send a STRONG Delusion to cause them to believe a lie.  So thus, God set the world up with a man that appeared [...]





Has The Church Become The Pastor’s Piggy Bank?

Written by:  Deacon Tim Butler

 

It has 

become a difficult time for Christians to continue giving of their finances to the Church in the old traditional way.  We were taught for so long to just “give to we drop”.  We have been taught to take from our own household, and [...]





America, Repent or Perish

America, Repent or Perish
Written by:  Deacon Tim Butler
 
A negative economy has forced many Americans to question the fate of America’s future.  Many look at the ongoing war in Iraq as a major cause of America’s financial woes.  Could it possibly be that God is trying to get the attention of a sinful nation?
 
Did God foreknow [...]





Some preachers will go to any extreme to get people to dance and cut a fool in church today. They use extreme gimmicks to set up the atmosphere for ushering in fake praises. Some preachers play the guilt trick on their congregation. They will say things like:
How can you just sit there on God, after [...]





The Strong:
Christians have amazing STRENGTH unlike anyone else.  When the rubber meets the road; when PERPLEXED on every side; when we have more BILLS than MONEY; when we are LIED on; when life seems to deal us an unfair hand; when friends turn their backs on us; when we are attacked by vicious preachers for [...]





The After Christmas Woes

Saturday, January 19th, 2008

Are you one of the millions of people suffering from the “After Christmas Woes”?  What is the “After Christmas Woes”; well I’m glad you asked.  The “After Christmas Woes” is an overwhelming, burdensome feeling that come upon a person after he or she has lost their mind due to the extreme pressure that the world [...]





How shall people call on God in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher (Rom 10:14)?
 
We wonder why so many so-called Christians are living immoral lives.  We wonder why so many so-called Christians are loving the [...]





When Is Enough, Enough?

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

It never ceases to amaze me how the so-called people of God could continue to put up with some of the shenanigans that we see displayed in many of the Churches today.  No, it’s not every church, but it is far so many of them.  Many pastors refuse to preach holiness and the need for [...]





The Greedy Preacher

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

Preaching today is more about “Industry”, instead of “Ministry”.
We live in a time where preaching has become a big business.  The appeal goes out for money for God’s house, but in reality many preachers use the money for self gains.  What do we do then, when God has commanded us to bring all of the [...]





From Hurt – To – Dangerous!

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

God has a strange way of getting us to the place where He would have us to be.  Some of us have experience being hurt in the church and God uses these experiences to get us to the place where He would have us be.  The bible says, “We know that all things work together [...]
