In Fit for the Pulpit, a host of preachers dispense comfort and counsel to their brothers in the trenches, men who often work in ministerial isolation as they seek to build up the body of Christ.

In eleven chapters, McCurley and his colleagues manage to cover many of the areas wherein preachers need continual encouragement.

Charles Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers, pastored the Metropolitan Tabernacle for 38 years, and spent many of those years in a state of powerful revival. Multitudes came from all over the world to hear him speak. His average Sunday morning services hosted up to six thousand people listening intently to the Word of the Lord. While it is fairly common today to see churches of thousands, in some places there seems to be one on every street corner, back in Spurgeon’s day, it was nothing short of miraculous.

God called me to preach at the age of 11, and three years later, in 1987, I began preaching. My pastor taught me to be intentional about “sermon seeds,” writing down ideas and studying and preaching them when able. This book is a collection of un-preached messages from 1987 to the present. Through the years, my files have grown from hand-written notes to electronic notes on tablets, computers, and smartphones. These files encourage me, especially when my emotional well runs dry. Sometimes God brings something out of those folders and anoints me to preach it. Other times, the files grow ...

But will God so "bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ", that no wandering thought will find a place in the mind, even while we remain in the body? So some have vehemently maintained; yea, have affirmed that none are perfected in love unless they are so far perfected in understanding, that all wandering thoughts are done away; unless not only every affection and temper be holy and just and good, but every individual thought which arises in the mind be wise and regular.

Praise, worship, thankfulness, and blessing Almighty God fill the lyrics of the final sixteen Psalms. But pain, prison, persecution, doubt, fear, and feeling overwhelmed are also woven into the psalmists’ words. Through it all, God protects, provides, and gives peace to His own. He is the Creator and able to do the impossible. God and His kingdom are everlasting, and His mercy endures forever. Therefore, if you ever need a reminder of why God is worthy of the highest praise, read Psalms 135-150. My title for this book stems from Psalm 142:5-7, which is the exact middle of the final ...

Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Paul wrote the epistle to the Colossians, refuting all false claims about God. Paul reaffirms to the original audience and the global Church that Christ is preeminent. Paul sharply rebuked every influence that attempted to infiltrate the Church. Through the leading of the Holy Spirit, Paul would not allow anything to compromise the truth. The Church at Colossae dealt with Gnosticism, paganism, mysticism, Greek philosophies, and Old Testament practices of the Law fulfilled by Christ. Yet, none of these could withstand the truth of God’s Word. In ...

In the early 20th century, a man in Pakistan happened to walk by a small Christian chapel. Inside the preacher was speaking about the love of God. The man, a physician, took the same route the next day and stopped to listen. This was the beginning of a decades long commitment by the doctor to bring more people to faith in Jesus.

We know that Jesus came to give us an abundant life (John 10:10). Yet many of us would describe our lives with words such as busy, stressed, anxious, or even overwhelmed. Despite how much we dislike the weight of such a frantic existence, we often carry on living with a gap between our experience and the fullness of life we know that Jesus offers. But it doesn't have to be this way. The Bible makes it clear that the position of victory is seated. Seated in Christ.

For two to be in agreement implies something more than to agree in theory, or in understanding, for we often see persons who agree in theory, but who differ vastly in feeling and practice. Their understandings may embrace the same truth, while their hearts and practice will be very differently affected by them. Saints and sinners often embrace in theory the same religious creed, while it is plain that they differ widely in feeling and practice.

Le véritable pouvoir de la prédication, c’est-à-dire le pouvoir qui produit un vrai réveil et qui transforme les vies, vient de Dieu seul.
