Isaiah 28:9 reads: Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. 

And in  2 Timothy 2:15 we - preachers are called upon to rightly divide the word of God.

And that deepens the reality, that, there’s a wrong way of doing it. The desire to do it right was the Holy spirit’s call on me to go to the seminary from 2009 - 2014, although I had voluntarily evangelized and planted several strong congregations in unentered towns and revitalized some dwindling ones in Ghana, west Africa for over 20 (twenty) years earlier.

And  I'm thankful to Valley View Adventist University for doing a great job by training and giving me the needed tools and skill set for; search, research and continuous education as a theologian and a servant in the vineyard of saving souls for Christ.

For continuous education for personal development and ministry enhancement, I have read the under listed authors recently and gained some valuable insights that has impacted my ministry in several positive ways.  

1) Autopsy of a Deceased Church(Thom S. Rainer) - The author identified several practices that led to the collapse of many churches, and suggested ways  to avoid those bad practices.

2)Help! I'm Being followed(Clinton A. Valley) - Valuable leadership tool. Drew distinction between leadership and management.

3)What Shall I Do To Inherit Eternal Life?(Margaret Davis) - Author points the fact, believers have part to play in allowing the Holy Spirit to build in them the character of Christ.

4)Evolution's Achilles' Heels(Robert Carter) - Author shows  flaws in Darwinian evolution.
