About Us
The
Pastor's Helper online ministry officially began in March, 1997. Dr. Barry L. Davis saw a pressing need to offer a comprehensive website that
could be used as a central resource for ministers and laypeople of all
denominations. Beginning with a few links and posting several sermons, this
site has grown to be one of the highest trafficked ministry sites on the
internet today. Barry writes all of
the sermon material we offer.
Below you can read some
more about Barry's education, writing, and his statement of

Statement
of Faith
The
Bible
I
believe the Bible, in the original manuscripts, consisting of the Old and
New Testaments, to be the only inspired, inerrant, infallible, authoritative
Word of God written.
The
Trinity
I
believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ
I
believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless
life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed
blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the
Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
Salvation
I
believe that salvation is found in no other name than that of Jesus the
Christ. Salvation is by grace, through faith.
The
Holy Spirit
I
believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by Whose indwelling power
and fullness the Christian is enabled to live a godly life in this present
evil world.
The
Resurrection
I
believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those that are
saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the
resurrection of damnation.
Spiritual
Unity
I
believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in Christ.
The
Return of Christ
I
believe in the literal return of Jesus Christ.
