Dr. Mike Stevens


Dr. Mike Stevens has been an ORDAINED BAPTIST PREACHER since 1972.  He is, I believe, one of the bright stars in God’s galaxy of preachers.  His hallmark is his passion in the pulpit.  He preaches with great power and conviction.  Mike is a gifted musician and Christian businessman.  His talents include SINGING, playing GUITAR and PIANO, and much more.  Dr. Stevens has recorded five projects in NASHVILLE, TN, including producing the #1 SONG “I Wonder if He Ever Cries” written and sung by his sister, Bonita.

Mike is an effective writer, speaker and former D. J.    He is author of  the best selling book “How to Survive the Storms of Life”.  Along with his many other accomplishments Mike has been voted one of the top ten DJ’s in America 4 times in medium markets.  Putting on his business hat, Mike has served as Vice President of Bobby Stevens Hauling Contractors, the family business,  for over 40 years.

Dr. Mike served for many years as a successful pastor in Columbus, Georgia, and now is making himself available to all the churches through his preaching, evangelistic meetings, in Bible Conferences, his music and as a banquet speaker.  This man has a dynamic testimony, a wonderful style of delivery and a pure heart sold out for God.  Dr. Mike Stevens has a Bible message to share and he will be a blessing to your church.

Mike is married to the lovely Marianne Hinton from Reynolds, Georgia.  They have two children Bobby John, 34 and Shawn (now in Heaven).  This couple, this family, lived a beautiful life with many advantages and rarely a dark cloud in their sky.  When Mike wrote his best selling book, “How to Survive the Storms of Life,” he and Marianne had been through two of the most life-changing, heart rending storms in their young lives.  First cancer attacked their 15-month old grandaughter and for months their precious little one clung to life on not much more than a bed of prayer, tender-loving care and a devoted team of medical professionals.  Then comes the emotional explosion that shocked and shattered this family to the core–the death of their son, Shawn.  Dr. Stevens, with his wife by his side, penned these two events and wove them into a hard-hitting narative that grips the reader by the heart and never lets go until the story is shared.  Mike’s bone-crushing honesty and devoted love for his family and God reveal, I am certain, why the Lord uses this man in so many ways for His glory.   Mike will often sign his letters and emails with these words, “In His Grip.”  I truly believe this man is, indeed, in God’s grip.  By all means, get this book!

Years ago this editor was the pastor of the congregation where Mike and his family served.  They were widely known as the Singing Stevens’ Family.   When they were in town, the family was in our church.  Perhaps I was the first to sense that God had a call on Mike for ministry.   Unknown to me, Mike was uneasy with my presumption that the Lord would most likely call him to preach if only he would listen for that call.  But God has a way of getting one’s attention and Mike did hear Him.

I invited Mike to preach his first sermon in our Grace Baptist Church, Lumpkin, Georgia, on Sunday morning, January 16, 1972.   Thirty-eight years later, Mike is still preaching.  He can say, as the Apostle Paul did, “…I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth…” (Romans 1:16)

We present here one of  his sermons preached recently in Columbus, entitled, Seven Things You Should Take to Church

God is Good

Our God is a good God. When bad things happen to good people we might have a tendency to lash out and blame God. God is not the author of bad…He’s the author of good. When He made a tree…he said it was good. When He made the light…He said it was good. All that God made was good. God is on your side today. He wants to fill your life with goodness and joy and love and peace.

The Preacher as the KEY!

Preachers should keep their Teaching, Simple; Their messages, Scriptural; Their Sermons Short. Simplicity is one of the key ingredients of a successful message. If you go back and retrace all of the messages Jesus delivered you will not find a long, boring, sophisticated, blowhard message in the bunch. They are all simple, honest and straight on. He didn’t put on the dog. God knows He could have.

Seven Things to Take to Church with You

We are coming up on our Independence Day holiday. Our nation has been rocked to her foundation by what appears to be foolish experiments with our financial bedrocks, mortgages, corporations, insurance, health care, manufacturing, shrinking of our dollar, Supreme Court, employment woes, massive federal debt ($145,000 for every American taxpayer), immigration woes, and next year a fresh round of raising taxes. As bleak as it seems surely to be, there is always hope. This nation was founded on the idea that people could come to this land and enjoy freedom of religion. However, America has drifted too far away from true religion. The erosion of our religious freedoms threatens our nation at its core. That same evil erodes our Constitution and with each chip of that grand old document the foundations of America can be heard to groan and her timbers shaken. Real hope lies in a return to the basic character planks and principles that caused this land to become a great land. A Soviet leader said one time that his nation would bury America without firing a shot. The spirit that ruled that ruthless leader is still alive and seducing our leaders today on both the left and the right. That spirit is not communism or socialism (though both are rooted in some of the mischief we see creeping upon us). That spirit is ungodliness. Each generation is more and more comfortable drifting further from God. If we are to embrace the concept of hope for a better day, I think it might involve the way we view something as basic as our local church. What does church mean to you? Last night this thought stirred me and I listed out some things I hope you won’t mind me sharing with you. I hope you will prayerfully consider declaring a new Independence Day in your heart as we celebrate the birth of our nation. One Nation Under God…

Avoid Hell at All Cost

Not everyone believes the Bible, or accepts it as a historic Book dictated and preserved by God. I suppose I could broaden my first statement by saying not everyone believes in God. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t believe in God or accept His Book as being the Instruction Book of the ages.

Bible Prophecies Predicting the Coming of Christ

The Old Testament is filled with references to the coming Messiah. Dr. MacArthur has selected several of the key prophecies to present his message. This is a thrilling account of what is yet to happen on this earth. All of the prophecies pointing to the first coming of Christ happened as predicted. These will, too
