The Value of Suffering

By Steve Pettit | October 3, 2013 | Comments Off on The Value of Suffering

Steve Pettit Suffering is one of the main avenues by which God brings revival. Perhaps no one understood this concept more than the apostle Paul.

By Doug Wright | October 2, 2013 | Comments Off on Get it Straight! (Proverbs for Dummies)

Serving Your Generation

By Thomas Overmiller | September 30, 2013 | Comments Off on Serving Your Generation

Thomas Overmiller There is an interesting statement tucked away in Paul’s message at the synagogue of Pisidian Antioch. “For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption; but he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption” (Acts 13:36-37).…

Pharisees and Fundamentalists

By Layton Talbert | September 26, 2013 | Comments Off on Pharisees and Fundamentalists

Layton Talbert What is the difference between a Fundamentalist and a Pharisee?

A Model for Masculinity

By Thomas Overmiller | September 24, 2013 | Comments Off on A Model for Masculinity

It embraces the development of the whole man for the purpose of accomplishing God’s will as a leader and servant. The testimony of David as a young man…
