VARIOUS ONLINE PUBLICATIONS
As Director of Son of Man Ministries at lcf1689.blogspot.com, I have published various articles, small booklets and pamphlets, Reformed sermons, responses in debates and blog presentations.
As Chairman of Rock of Offense Ministries at rpmin.blogspot.com, I publish full Reformed sermons everyday. I want to reawaken people to a sermon-focused ministry everyday like John Calvin and Martin Luther. Preachers tend not to preach everyday. I think it is a lost art that should be reawakened! I also want to post sermons like Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield and Charles Spurgeon. I do not preach as "good" as they do, of course, because they were put apart by God with rare gifts. However, I speak to use my "humble" excellence for the glory of God in preaching the gospel. I am hoping with my few "fishes and loaves" that Jesus will use it as apart of an instrument of God to reform the world by faith and repentance and obedience to His holy Word by sharing the love of God toward our neighbor or enemies. I pray that I am able to teach, preach and defend the whole counsel of God according to the divine Scriptures alone.
As Director of Theologian of the Cross Ministries at crossmin.blogspot.com, I will seek to proclaim the Cross regarding God's truth about the supremacy and centrality of the divine Scripture alone and that of the Cross of Jesus.
I also had a hard copy printed of my gospel tract "Your Desperate Need For the Gospel" and disturbed it around the Jersey Shore area. People were able to read about the saving Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
1.1. I do not have the financial support to self-publish books or the connections to publish through a publishing company. This has opened up another great opportunity in another way in God's providential plan to publish online through available online "services." I have decided to publish my books, some reformed sermons and blog presentations online. The Bible clearly says "Freely received, freely give." In other words, I have received spiritual salvation freely by God's grace in His plan of providential care. My books are free but they are surely not cheap! This means I put a lot of work into them and I pray God uses my few "fishes and bread" to advance His Gospel. I also published some Reformed sermons and blog presentations. I have some book projects underway that I am assigned to write. It is understood as "fair use" in light of the written materials belong to me alone, but open to the public edification.
