What's the difference between sheep and goats?
Tract: ch28 Difference between sheep and goats? This tract outlines the differences and contrasts between a true Christian (Sheep) from a false Christian (goat).
Sections:There are Christians who do not feed themselves well spiritually speaking. In place of going to a good church with healthy spiritual food, these will feed themselves on anything, but mostly trash. ... The nature of goats is that they like to exalt themselves. It is a classic sight to see a goat with his head high in the air, while sheep have they head bent down feeding....(Goats) are always going head-to-head with everyone, especially with each other, and with any who crosses them... Sheep naturally have a loyalty to a good man of God who faithfully feeds them from the goodness of the Word of God. ... Perhaps the worse mark of a goat is simple his attitude. He is never satisfied with anything. ... The mark of the children of God is their cooperation among themselves, and their spiritual and emotional support for the lives one of another, and their aversion to complaining and conflict within the family of God. They put up with things and take personal loss to keep the peace.Please support our tract ministry by donating on the tract website (see sidebar).

People are the same everywhere No matter where you go, people have the same problems across cultures and places. This article is for pastors, from churchplantingworkshop.com, and explains how turnover in churches is to the preacher's advantage (and the pastor as counselor). I speak to the reuse of counseling and preaching material.

Porter why We Must Fight Why we must fight is a book that describes our Christian Warfare and why we must fight.
This work describes our Christian Warfare.
Beginning with a picture of the Christian’s spiritual battlefield, onward to the Bible’s depiction of a Godly soldier all the way through to that holy victory that overcomes the world, this book carefully explains why the Christian believer must stand up for Christ and fight the good fight of faith. It explains not only why we must fight but why we must stand and fight together as one Body in Christ, in accordance to the commands of Christ. For those seeking to understand the rationale for spiritual warfare this book will provide solid Biblical evidence and clear and logical reasons and uplifting spiritual support as to “Why We Must Fight!”.

Works on Genesis, especially commentaries.
1. Gordon J. Wenham — Genesis 1-15 and Genesis 16-50 (Word Biblical Commentary, 1987, 1994). from lionger
The layout of the Word Biblical Commentary series is not the most reader friendly, but in the case of Gordon Wenham’s commentary on Genesis, it is certainly worth the trouble. Wenham writes from a generally conservative evangelical viewpoint. His exegesis is careful and detailed and always worth consulting.
2. Kenneth A. Mathews — Genesis 1-11:26 and Genesis 11:27-50:26 (The New American Commentary, 1996, 2005). from lionger
In recent years, Broadman & Holman have published a number of excellent commentaries in their New American Commentary series. In 2005, with the publication of the second volume of Kenneth Mathews’ commentary on Genesis, they added another outstanding contribution.
3. Victor P. Hamilton — The Book of Genesis Chapters 1-17 and The Book of Genesis Chapters 18-50 (The New International Commentary on the Old Testament, 1990, 1995). from lionger
Like Wenham and Mathews, Hamilton writes from a generally conservative evangelical perspective. I rank Mathews slightly higher simply because Hamilton is a rather dry read. He is, however, always worth consulting.
4. Allen P. Ross — Creation and Blessing (1988). from lionger
Although not technically a commentary, this volume by Ross is an invaluable resource for expositors. If you are a pastor, you should not be without this book.
5. John H. Walton — Genesis (NIV Application Commentary, 2001) from lionger
It is difficult to decide what commentary should fill the number five slot, but in terms of general helpfulness, Walton’s commentary probably deserves it. The NIVAC series does not get into as many technical issues, but it excels in terms of bridging the gap between the original audience and the contemporary world. This commentary, then, will be of particular use to preachers and teachers.
Runners Up:
There are a number of other helpful commentaries on the the Book of Genesis. Among them are those by Bruce Waltke, Derek Kidner, Nahum Sarna, John E. Hartley, and Umberto Cassuto (Vol. 1, Vol. 2. Cassuto’s works are sometimes difficult to track down. The publisher’s website is here: (Vol. 1, Vol. 2). Sarna’s work is in the JPS Torah Commentary series, which is written from a Jewish perspective and is somewhat critical. This means that it must be used with great care and discernment.
