“‘It is written, “MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.”‘”<\/span><\/strong><\/em> (Mat 4:3-4)<\/span><\/p>\n

J<\/span>ournal,<\/p>\n

While I’ve enjoyed a range of ministry callings in my 45+ years as a minister of the gospel, including that of evangelist and pastor, my primary ministry gift remains in the arena of expounding the sacred Scriptures.<\/p>\n

I do thank the Lord for giving me a place for sharing His gospel to the nations. I’ve had over 50,000 visitors on this blog alone.<\/p>\n

Of course nothing will ever take the place of studying the Scriptures personally, yet much help can be gained by reading good Bible teachings that are offered by God’s servants.<\/p>\n

The apostle Paul even drew attention to this in writing Timothy:<\/p>\n

“When you come bring the cloak which I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books<\/span><\/strong>, especially the parchments<\/span><\/strong>.”<\/em>\u00a0(2Ti 4:13)<\/span><\/p>\n

As for my studies, in addition to various courses that I’ve designed for the CCI School for Christian Workers, I have well over 500 Bible studies that can be accessed on the web, including over 200 articles that I’ve provided in this blog alone. \u00a0(Pastor Buddy’s Journal.)<\/em>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To access the 500+ web studies that I offer, go to this page:\u00a0http:\/\/buddymartin.net\/blog\/500-2\/<\/a><\/p>\n

To view the 200+ articles that I’ve provided on my blog, go here:\u00a0http:\/\/buddymartin.net\/blog\/archives\/<\/a><\/p>\n
