bs53 The Hope of the Christian explains hope in the spiritual life of the Christian, how it relates to salvation.
Topics: What does “hope” mean? | Faith and Hope | How does Hope function in our Lives? | What do we do while we are hoping? | The Relationship between Hoping and the Word of God | The Person of God is our Hope | What is the effect of hoping? | Those without Hope.
From the Tracts: Hope is a state of mind that arises when what is desired is presented as attainable. Hope is the expectation of soon receiving something one wants... But between believing and having salvation actually fulfilled, there exists time, and in this time, we have to hope for the time when God will fulfill it, when He wants to close history... We can say that faith, believing, began with hope within us that we wanted this good thing that God promises to us.

Sections: What is biblical preaching? | Wholesome Doctrine | Good Doctrine produces Piety | Bad doctrine and preaching | Strong Reproof | Preaching to Entertain | Beneficial Preaching Excerpt: We cannot identify “good preaching” if we do not understand the purpose and vocation of the preacher... The very words of God are to be explained such that the will of God is understood by repeating these words, explaining them, and insisting on them as our obligation. The lack of use of explicit (read aloud, exposit, and illustrate) Scripture makes for bad preaching... It is understood that the majority of people hearing a sermon do not want to be rebuked, but this is exactly what “good preaching” does.

ch16 Example of the man of God ch16 Example of the man of God explains how the man of God is to be an example of what God wants from all of us.
Topics: Marking what is Good | Marking what is Bad | Imitating Christ | Marking or Imitating the Man of God.
Excerpt: It is a grave error in Christianity of our day to gloss over as unimportant the idea that each minister should be an example of a man of God, see 1 Tim 3 and Titus 1, which marks the requirements of a man of God. We should insist that our ministers be good examples of what is a man of God, a copy of Christ, and if they aren’t, we should remove them, or leave that church.

Missionary on Furlough Spiritual Needs is an article by David Cox (veteran missionary) to help pastors and missionaries understand missionary needs.
Excerpt: When a pastor "takes in a missionary on deputation or furlough", he ministers to that missionary.... Pastors also need this encouragement as much as missionaries need it. When they get together to fellowship, they are able to encourage one another. But every pastor ministering to a returning missionary should encourage them along these lines of faithfulness and reward in eternity.
Topics: Introduction | Unfit Missionaries that should not be missionaries at all | Stop the Merry-go-round, I want to get off | Some Tips for Pastors Encouraging Missionaries | 1. Do not undermine their way of leading or doing the ministry | 2. The two essential elements are talk and prayer. | 3. Get more than just the pastor involved in praying for the missionary. | Remind your missionary by asking for an update if it has been a while. | Effectively disseminate prayer requests.
