The Sufficient Message for Ministry in Paul's Day and Ours [e-book]

In The Sufficient Message for Ministry in Paul’s Day and Ours, Dr. Heath Lambert argues that the Word of God alone is sufficient for faithful ministry and counseling. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 2:1–5, he explains that Paul deliberately refused to mix the gospel with worldly wisdom. Paul’s conviction was to know “nothing except Jesus Christ and him crucified,” trusting the Spirit to work through the simple yet powerful message of the cross.

While some claim such integration is wise, good stewardship of common grace, or even inevitable, Lambert shows from Paul’s teaching that it is actually unwise, poor stewardship, and unnecessary. He emphasizes that the miraculous transformation people seek comes not through blending worldly psychology with biblical truth, but through the pure ministry of God’s Word. His call to pastors, counselors, and believers is clear: resist syncretism, proclaim Christ crucified, and trust in the Spirit’s power to bring lasting change.
