Principles from the 4th chapter of II Timothy.

A New Year's Day special message from Pastor Wilkerson.

A special Christmas message from Pastor Wilkerson.

2nd episode of the II Timothy Principles series.

In this episode Pastor Wilkerson begins sharing principles from the book of II Timothy.

This episode covers 6 principles from the book of I Timothy.

The ninth lesson in world evangelism is "Essentials to Missions," based from Acts 13. In this missionary effort recorded in God's Word, we find practical principles to engage in world evangelism.

The eighth lesson in world evangelism is based out of the book, "The Master Plan of Evangelism" by Robert Coleman. In these principles we learn the strategic approach that our Saviour used to train the disciples.

The seventh lesson in world evangelism is to get the most out of our soulwinning efforts. We will consider the methods used by the Apostle Paul and perhaps see why God used him in such a great way. Our willingness to follow his example could make all the difference for us.

The sixth lesson in world evangelism is to examine the reasons why the entire world has yet to hear the message of the Gospel. We will look at six possible reasons given by early twentieth century pastor, Oswald J. Smith.

The fifth lesson in world evangelism is understanding the rewards God has for those who give to world missions. Most people are concerned only with their earthly bank account, but God wants us to consider our heavenly bank account—the one that really matters most.

The fourth lesson in world evangelism is seeing the benefits of supporting missions. When we learn to partner with God and give to propagate His Gospel to the world, we will enjoy unique blessings from Him. More importantly, God will be blessed by our obedience to Him.

The third lesson in world evangelism is the importance of giving regularly to support world missions. The vast majority of the world does not have the same opportunity to hear the Gospel as those of us in America. We can have a vital role in their salvation by giving aggressively to world evangelism.

The second lesson in world evangelism is God’s incentive of reciprocation. God provides His presence, His protection, His plan, His peace, and His power whenever we are involved with getting His Gospel to others.

This episode begins a new series of lessons on world evangelism. Ninety-six percent of the world’s population live outside of America. This fact should provoke us to not only have a local vision to get out the Gospel, but a global vision as well.

The fifth lesson in a biblical view of childrearing is to discipline your children. By nature, children are in desperate need of developing self-control. Left to themselves, they often create chaos. Disciplined children enjoy life much more and will be a benefit to society rather than a burden.

The fourth lesson in a biblical view of childrearing is to teach them the importance of righteousness. Children need to know what things are right to do, and then be encouraged to always do what is right in every situation.

The third lesson in a biblical view of childrearing is to expose children to the Bible. Training godly children is impossible apart from God’s Word, and we will tell how to lead them to a relationship with the Scriptures.

The second lesson in a biblical view of childrearing is from Psalm 127. In this chapter, we see how the home should be a place of construction, protection, relaxation, procreation, and instruction.

This episode begins a new series of lessons on a biblical view of childrearing. Children desperately need their parents’ affection, direction, and correction. The principles we discuss will help children become more secure and knowledgeable of God and His ways.

The twelfth and final principle in obtaining a good name involves a list of imperatives that admonishes us to listen, learn, live right, speak right, and lean heavily upon the Lord.

The eleventh principle in obtaining a good name is to be morally pure. Whenever we selfishly continue to sin, we frustrate God, and He removes the barriers He has set around the pit of immorality. However, if we will focus on pleasing God, we can avoid this terrible pit that would destroy our reputation.

The tenth principle in obtaining a good name is to be diligent. Work is not a curse, it is a necessary attribute. Lazy people zap the strength out of relationships, but diligent people bring help and encouragement.

The ninth principle in obtaining a good name is to guard our words and our thoughts. Our words can be used to guide and encourage, or they can be used to criticize and destroy. Difficult times often reveal what is in our hearts by the words that come out of our mouths. We need to learn to let our hearts and our words be guided by the Holy Spirit of God.

The eighth principle in obtaining a good name is to show kindness to the poor. God has a soft spot in His heart for the fatherless, the widows, and the poor. Because they cannot offer us compensation, helping them demonstrates the purest sincerity of our kindness. God pays attention to the way we treat the poor.
