A Note from Brother Archer...
In regards to the devotion and sermon materials on this site...
Years of study have gone into these. Through the advice of my brother Elliott, most of it is original. Through the advice of Bro Sam Waldron, I have not completely abandoned Gill. Gill's rigidity and his wordiness have been mostly scraped away. Through necessity I have used other authors from time to time. These studies have been of great service to my faith. I am finally learning what the Scriptures mean when they say faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Largely the notes were written for my own benefit. The sermon notes were written as a guide or pulpit use and are meant to aid those to whom I am preaching.
These notes are being made available to the public as a small contribution to the Kingdom of Christ...I hope the entire world sees what I have written.
I am yours in Christ,
Glenn
