Excerpt: A cult becomes destructive when: It isolates members from family and friends. The group interferes with an individual's ability to think freely.... Seven Characteristics of False Teachers..." Moreover, among the prophets of Samaria I saw an offensive thing: they prophesied by Baal and led My people Israel astray."... The first characteristic of False teachers are men-pleasers... False teachers are notable in casting dirt, scorn, and reproach upon the persons, names, and credits of Christ's most faithful ambassadors...

What's the difference between sheep and goats?

Tract: ch39 What should we preach? This tract outlines what is the difference between "good preaching" and "bad preaching" from scriptural texts so that we have the authority of God on it.

Sections:
What is biblical preaching?
Wholesome Doctrine
Good Doctrine produces Piety
Bad doctrine and preaching
Strong Reproof
Preaching to Entertain
Beneficial Preaching

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.

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.
