- Homemade Gods (37:08)
The only lasting cure for idolatry is a fervent love for God. The hardest step is seeing our idols in the first place.
- Empty on the Inside (38:18)
If you don’t know God, it’s not God’s fault. God has already done everything necessary for you to have a relationship with him. - He Doesn’t Need Your Help (35:53)
The gospel begins with God. It doesn’t begin with Jesus or with us. The divine plan of salvation begins with the God who designed it.

Sinner, Listen to This
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Sunday, May 20
Last night I happened to find a digital copy of an old book called The Gospel of Forgiveness, published in 1878 by Scottish theologian Robert Candlish. It is essentially a 19th-century “gospel book,” written to convince sinners to come to Christ. Within its cover the reader finds a great deal of warmhearted gospel appeal. One get the se...

Lost and Found
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Friday, May 18
Several years ago we began a partnership with The Mailbox Club in order to reach inmates of the Chattanooga (TN) jail system. The chaplains (and ministry volunteers) give out copies of An Anchor for the Soul along with a printed invitation to take a Bible correspondence course from the Mailbox Club. Recently one of the inmates who has found the Lor...
96,000 Anchors Arrived Last Week
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Thursday, May 17
Last week 96,000 copies of An Anchor for the Soul arrived at our new Book Depot in Pontiac, IL. I called it our “new” book depot because for the last few years we have used a storage facility in Chicago where Ernie Schulz spent hundreds of hours (on a volunteer basis) preparing boxes of books for free shipment to ministries across Ameri...
“Stealth Attack” Now Available in Korean
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Tuesday, May 15
The Korean translation of Stealth Attack has just been released. Here is how the publisher describes the book:The war on terror is out of balance. Billions of dollars and cutting-edge weaponry pitted against faceless zealots. Cunning foes who fight dirty. Though inferior in strength, they remain surprisingly deadly. In spiritual terms, this conflic...

Sermon List Tops 10,000
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Sunday, May 13
One week ago the sermon email list went over the 10,000 mark for the first time. That’s a significant milestone that was 14 years in the making. I started sending out sermons by email in 1998 shortly after we returned from a trip to India. I started with about 20 names on my list, a handful of friends who wanted to read the sermon they heard ...
Wanted: Hearty Congregational Singing
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Wednesday, May 9
In the last month I’ve spoken at churches in Indiana, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine and Vermont. Although they varied in size, denomination and worship style, I noticed one common factor in each church:Hearty congregational singingNote that I did not say “hearty congregational worship.” I meant singing. Hearty, enthusiastic, d...
Pastor, Don’t Be Stupid!
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Tuesday, May 8
A few days ago I received a message alerting me that a certain pastor (whom I do not know) has been preaching my sermons word for word on Sunday morning. And he does so without attribution.To make matters worse, he posts the audio files online.Let me start by saying that I am a friend and supporter of preachers everywhere. I post my sermons precise…
Random Notes
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Monday, May 7
A few thoughts on a variety of topics:1. The China broadcasts continue three times a week (M-W-F) at 6 AM CDT (7 PM China time). Check out our Chinese website and the iPhone and Android apps.2. We have just posted the Spring 2012 KBM Newsletter with the headline “We Need More Anchors.” Later this month we expect delivery of 100,000 copi...

“I Struggle With Assurance of Salvation”
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Thursday, May 3
Someone recently turned in this question: I’ve struggled with assurance of salvation for years. Could it be that I’m not one of the Elect? Here is my answer:The short answer to your question is that your struggles are proof of the opposite, that you are indeed a child of God. A truly lost person has no desire to know the Lord and would h...
Stay
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Tuesday, May 1
New England has a reputation as a difficult place to do ministry. One pastor from Massachusetts called it a “cold” region for gospel ministry. But almost everyone senses that a “quiet revival” is underway. No, it’s not like the South where megachurches sprout up like dandelions in the spring. But churches are growing i...
“He Doesn’t Deserve Our Disappointment”
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Tuesday, May 1
I talked with a friend whose grandson was born with some difficulties that mean he will never grow up to a “normal” life.
