"Come As You Are ... Leave Changed!"
My primary resource for outlines and much of my content is my
mentor...the man God "tied me to" for ministry training,
Dr. Steve Proctor, of
Westwood Baptist Church, Poplar Bluff, MO. You can learn more about him
and our unique relationship here. Bro. Steve
is a gifted expositor, and he has some great men he follows as well. He
taught me this principle of sharing and how we all stand taller on each other's
shoulders. Thanks Bro. Steve!
Some of these great outlines and powerful stories/illustrations
come from Evangelist Dr. Tom Wallace, who shared them with me for use,
uncredited. Some of our book studies draw from the wisdom of
J. Vernon
McGee and Warren Wiersbe. And some
topical and expository content comes from the late, great
Dr. Adrian Rogers, who upon hearing about our call to Pastor pulled my
wife and I to our knees on the platform at Bellevue Baptist and laid his hands
on us, praying a long, tender prayer for us just a short while before his
passing.
Additionally, my dad is a Pastor, as is
my Father-in-law, and their
contributions and influence cannot be overstated. A Godly heritage is
mine...to God be the glory!
I thank God for the gifts of writing, outlining,
PowerPoint design and organization,
and I count it a privilege to share these materials with those who need it.
A few other sources are used from time to time, and are credited
in the sermons.
