God's Word For Every Day

"  I have been  crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the  life  which I now live in the flesh  I live by faith in the Son of God,  who loved me and gave Himself for me" (Galatians 2:20). Many years ago, in the early years of my Christian life, I was greatly blessed through reading two books - Watchman Nee's book, The Normal Christian Life , and John Stott's book, Men Made New. Watchman Nee concentrated much attention on Galatians 2:20, while John Stott focused on Romans 6 (as part of a series of talks on Romans 5-8, given at the Keswick Convention). These faithful men of God instructed me in the things of God. Their ministry was reinforced by two other booklets - William Still's booklet, Towards Spiritual Maturity , and James Philip's booklet, Christian Maturity.

On the plane ride to the New Life Bible Conference, I began reading William Still’s The Work of the Pastor .  I’ve had the book for a few years, but had yet to pick it up.  In recent conversations with some pastor friends, I was strongly encouraged to take up and read.  And boy am I glad I did! William Still was minister of the Gilcomstom Church of Scotland from 1945 until 1997. His ministry placed strong emphasis on Biblically based expository preaching, and over the years the Lord used this man laboring int his small field to impact the lives of many who entered the ministry and the mission field.  Still recounts his lif...
