InDesign is the key to economy in self-publishing

Skilled Workman Posted on November 18, 2012 by David BergslandNovember 18, 2012

Possibly the biggest news in publishing for ministries and non-profits is that you can start out free.

Book review: The Everyday Visionary by Jesse Duplantis

Skilled Workman Posted on December 6, 2011 by David BergslandDecember 6, 2011

One of the real joys found in my recent spiritual growth spurt has been Jesse Duplantis. It is always a joy to find a person who is free to be what the Lord made him. God is infinitely creative and Jesse is in the image of his Father. His freedom in the Lord is a true inspiration to me. The Everyday Visionary gives a practical method of implementing your vision Though it’s a small book, I took … Continue reading →

The church is in trouble

Skilled Workman Posted on May 29, 2011 by David BergslandMarch 23, 2020

The church is in trouble and few do anything about it. Recognize satan’s attacks on the pastors as a real problem. Many of the new “live” churches are having just as much trouble. Statistics on Pastors – Into Thy Word Ministries. I found these statistics at the Schaeffer Institute site today. As you read them, do not think that we are infested with bad pastors (though that can be true in individual cases). The problem is that Satan … Continue reading →

The New Publisher in the Kingdom of God

Skilled Workman Posted on May 13, 2011 by David BergslandAugust 21, 2024

The New Publisher Here we are in the second decade of the new millennium and we are faced with a brand new way of serving the Lord in the Kingdom. Publishing has radically changed. The new changes are almost designed for those of us who feel called by the Lord to share the vision of what He has called us to do. The new methodologies work better for prophets, pastors, and teachers than they do for almost … Continue reading →

Called to teach the Word?

Skilled Workman Posted on May 1, 2011 by David BergslandMarch 23, 2020

If you’re Called to teach the Word – then God has given us our mode of operation. Remember we’ll be judged more strictly because of the responsibility of the calling. Timothy 2:24-26 The slave of the Lord must not be argumentative. He or she must be kind to everyone, inclined and gifted to teach, patient, correcting those opposed to your teaching with gentleness. God might give them repentance so they can come to know the Truth. In … Continue reading →

Fiction as ministry…

Skilled Workman Posted on February 3, 2010 by David BergslandFebruary 3, 2010

One of the joys of “retiring” is that I can give some real time to writing fiction. Why fiction? Because I can control the message so much better. I can say things that would not be possible in our modern politically correct society. Instead of talking about the apostate church [which few want to talk about], I can write about a world where a very religious church has taken over political power—persecuting and killing true believers. Instead … Continue reading →
