Building Your Own Personal Ministry Resource Library (video)

We have more Christian resources available today than in any other time in church history. Poor preaching, laziness in the study (contra 2 Tim. 2:15) and nonexistent Pastor-Theologians have led to theological-church anemia (Heb. 5:12-14; Eph. 4:11-16).

Sound study tools are tremendous helps as God's people seek to rightly interpret and faithfully apply the whole counsel of God (2 Tim. 2:15; 4:13).

In this 15 minute video I try and provide some practical tips on the how/why of building a personal theological library. I also address what to do when you run out of shelf space, where to begin, where to find inexpensive jewels, etc.

As I was taught in Seminary, "Sell a shirt/buy a book." Seriously.  Solid resources can help you be a more faithful friend, parent, discipler, counselor, SS teacher, pastor, etc to the glory of Christ (Col. 1:28-29).

I also offer a word of caution to those who own many books but who remain tadpole Christians (those believers with big heads and small bodies).  You can today's video blog here.
