Will You Join Me in Reading the Bible this Year?

Last updated on: December 31, 2023 at 7:59 pm   By Grayson Gilbert

If you’ve never read the Bible all the way through, let 2024 be the year you do it. Don’t let past failures keep you from applying yourself to it this time. All it takes is roughly 10-15 minutes a day. That’s it. When we consider how little time it takes each day, the reality is that it is not so much a lack of time as a lack of follow-through. The prospect of reading the entire Bible, page by page,... Read more

Why Every Christian Must Seek to Maintain the Integrity of the Gospel

Last updated on: December 1, 2023 at 2:57 pm   By Jack Lee

0 Comments

We must be Christians who know the gospel. We must know and believe the gospel so well that it flows through veins like life-giving blood. We must know it so well that if you hear someone distorting the true gospel you can recognize it, as Paul did, and call it out as a "different gospel".  Read more

How Progressive Christians Are Denying The Eternality of the Human Soul

Last updated on: June 28, 2023 at 10:29 am   By Jack Lee

0 Comments

When it comes to LBGTQ+ ideals, Progressive Christians seem to forget/ignore any perspective that considers the bodily resurrection and the new creation. Scripture teaches us that the spirit and body will be joined together in perfect harmony forever. By the blood of Christ, we will be pure and spotless. In this state, there is no need for sex or sexual identity. Our entire existence will be rooted and satisfied in the glory of Christ. Read more

God’s Standards for Elders, Part 1: The Heart of an Elder

Last updated on: June 26, 2023 at 11:49 am   By Guest Contributor

0 Comments

The underlying qualifications for elders are straightforward. They must be men who cannot be charged with having rotten hearts. How many job descriptions for pastors, or elections for elders start with these qualities? Often, you’ll see keywords at the beginning of a pastoral job posting that is more “CEO” than Christ-like. Read more

Elders, Love Your Family More Than You Love Your Church

Last updated on: March 2, 2023 at 11:42 am   By Jack Lee

0 Comments

The families of pastors/elders often report feeling forgotten and neglected as their husband and/or father spends a notable amount of his time, energy, and emotions shepherding a church of God’s people. I suspect in most cases the lack of attention towards home isn’t intentional. Responding to a supernatural calling, these men are led to care for the flock God has placed under them. Yet, in their efforts to fulfill their calling, they forsake a primary obligation - even disqualifying themselves. Read more

Were Adam and Eve Created Perfect?

Last updated on: January 25, 2023 at 12:10 pm   By Guest Contributor

There’s a common misnomer applied to Adam and Eve regarding their pre-Fall nature, and you’ve probably heard it before.  The statement is that before the Fall, Adam and Eve were “perfect”.  Now, before you sharpen your heretic-probing pitchforks I’m not stating that Adam and Eve were created sinful or anything other than “good” (as God Himself proclaimed). What I am saying is that by their very nature of being created in a state of innocence, they weren’t perfect.  Here are two reasons why Adam and Eve were never perfect Read more

3 Good Reasons to Move the Gathering to Saturday the 24th

Last updated on: December 21, 2022 at 10:31 am   By Guest Contributor

This is such a rare occurrence. I mean really, how often do Christmas and Sunday land on the same day? What are we to do? Canceling might be a little extreme, so why not bump it to another day? Nothing really changes. We could still do all the things we love to do, it would just be on a different day. Read more

The Most Influential Children’s Catechism

Last updated on: December 16, 2022 at 2:57 pm   By Guest Contributor

Which catechism is the most influential and understandable for kids? Some may argue that the Westminster Shorter Catechism is the best. Or that the Heidelberg is the most applicable. Or that modern ones like the New City Catechism are the easiest for kids to grasp. But while those are helpful tools, they are not the most influential catechisms for children. Read more
