“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

I remember hearing a story long ago about a great theologian who was lecturing at a seminary. There was a question-and-answer session, and the people were asking him deep convoluted questions about theology. Then, one student said to him, “Sir, what is the greatest theological truth you know?” The man paused for a while and thought, and then he said, “The greatest truth that I know is this: Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so.”
That is the simplicity of the mustard seed (Matthew 17:20). It is small but so strong. Jesus said faith like a grain of mustard seed can move mountains. A mustard seed is fiery and pungent. That small mustard seed may be considered insignificant in many ways, but it holds so much strength. We need to seek that kind of faith. Hold on to those simple truths of the Gospel that have the power to change lives.
Share with one person a small truth of the Gospel that has made a significant impact on you.
Adrian Rogers as the Moon Port Pastor
This biography, written by Dr. Phil Kramer, covers Pastor Rogers’ early years of ministry in Merritt Island, Florida. Merritt Island, nicknamed the “Moon Port,” was a major hub for scientists and astronauts during the race to the moon in the 1960s and early 1970s.
Pastor Rogers saw his purpose to “point men beyond the stars" and soon he became known as the “Moon Port Pastor.” As you read how these ministry years became foundational to Pastor Rogers' leadership development, your commitment to the Word of God will be fortified and your leadership skills will challenged and encouraged.
