Pastor Peter didn’t arrive at the DSM Bible Institute as a Pastor. He was merely an Usher serving in a local slum church. He bounced from one church to another trying to “find” something. He wasn’t quite sure what “it” was, but he was sure something was missing. Everyone seemed to be so sure of […]

The “Day of Salvation” is like no other. As much as people argue about the finer details of “How” one “receives Salvation”, one thing is clear: people are redeemed, transformed, adopted and chosen by God Himself. And once that has occurred, there is a tremendous sense that all things are in order. And from an […]

The “Great Commission” is a mandate for all Christians. Not a select few. We will all be held personally accountable for our stewardship of the Salvation, Gospel and Grace that God has bestowed upon us. We are not allotted the luxury of Subcontracting the Command to “make Disciples of all nations.” Yet that is what […]

We are apt to believe the hype. Churches are being planted at unprecedented rates. Nations culturally “closed” to the gospel are now bursting with new believers. Revival is breaking out amongst the younger generations. Rock stars and “Influencers” are turning to Christ. Technology, the internet and digital age have magically multiplied our evangelistic efforts and […]

We are now well into our 21st year of the Ministry. You might imagine that the Ministry runs like a well-oiled ministering machine, with well-set parameters and plans to implement our specific Calling. And for a large part, it does. Or at least it did. Until Covid. Now more than ever, it’s “let’s-see-what-obstacles-we-wake-up-to-this-morning” mode. Ever […]

“A young man in an old man’s body.” That’s how the Bible School students describe Pastor Reuwel Gathinji. If ever the “spirit of Caleb” was in man, then Pastor Reuwel has it. Caleb conquered the Giants in the Promised Land with vigor and valor well past the age of 85 (see Josh 14 & 15). […]

We like things neat, orderly and clean. It’s part of our culture for sure. Right angles, symmetrical shapes, complementary colors. Christmas in our culture mirrors this preference. Decorations are carefully coordinated in placement, tone and texture. There is nothing innately wrong with this. As long as our heart is rightly motivated. But truth be told, […]

Every court case involves Evidence. The case “for” or “against” rests upon confessions, forensics and observations. Our Eternal Destiny is determined in a Court as well. There is a Judge. Which means there must be a “Case.” Our “Case” will be adjudicated based upon the Evidence. Jesus used Physical examples to explain this Spiritual Truth. […]

As much as we advocate Church Planting ministries, we might be mindful that Jesus never had one. He didn’t come to establish some sort of multi-level marketing scheme, franchising network or satellite campus initiative. Nothing of the sort. The business world does such things. We dare not mimic Wall Street business models for “Church Growth”: […]
