These apps were developed by two of my church friends who work in that field and I’m sure they would appreciate a nice rating and any positive reviews in Play Store or Apple Store. Any suggestions for improvement can be sent to my email address noted in the blogsite and I will pass them on to these brothers. Thank you so much! ... See MoreSee Less

Most of the articles on my Teaching Ministry website and on my blogsite addressing racially related topics are my own. I do post articles by others, and Jim McCartney is one of those others. I am adding another of his articles to my TM website, one that shows an unusual amount of self-awareness (hence humility). Jim also has an unusual amount of awareness regarding how the younger generations think. He listens while younger people talk – really listens. Each of these areas of awareness is so vital to the advancement of New Testament Christianity. Enjoy the article and let’s learn from the words and example of our brother! ... See MoreSee Less

I have posted two articles thus far on my teaching website (gordonferguson.org) about the women’s role in the church. In the first of those, I mentioned sharing a class with Linda Brumley in a leadership conference in which she taught the majority of that class (which included males and females). Linda is a long-term and special friend of mine and Theresa’s, the wife of an elder in San Diego, Ron, and an accomplished teacher and author. While she exercises her teaching gift in settings that include both men and women, she has a special burden on her heart for women to teach in a specific setting of women only. What she describes in her article just posted on my website is no doubt a biblically demanded role, one that she believes is being largely overlooked in our churches. As she described her concerns in a personal conversation with me recently, it was obvious that her concerns were deep enough to be described as frustrating and painful. I thus requested that she share her thoughts in an article, which she has now done. Although my concerns for other aspects of the women’s role are more urgent than Linda’s, our concerns about the main emphasis in her article are equally shared. Please read her article and heed the biblical directives in it by putting them into practice. Those directives are God’s. ... See MoreSee Less

For the past couple of years, I have been active on Facebook, which I joined mainly to announce posts on this teaching ministry website and also on my racial topics blogsite (blacktaxandwhitebenefits.com). Since I am writing this newsletter so late this year, I almost didn’t mention it on Facebook. However, in rereading my 2017 Newsletter, I noticed that it was written in early April also. Whatever else may be said, it is obvious that my “sin” of procrastination has not been just a recent problem and I apparently remain unrepentant! My Newsletters always contain a lot of personal information in them as well as ministry information. For me those two areas are so connected as to be indistinguishable.I think you will enjoy the read! ... See MoreSee Less

Michael Burns is one of my favorite writers and a spiritual hero. I just posted an article written by him on both my racial issues blogsite and on my teaching website. The title is "The One Thing Christians Need to Stop Doing Right Now." It is a thought-provoking, convicting article that is much needed. Please read it! ... See MoreSee Less
