The Gifts Go On

Contributed by Dan Erickson on Jan 28, 2001

We will explore what Paul teaches about spiritual gifts. I think a great deal of controversy could have been avoided on this topic if people would have simply studied this a little more closely.

Church conflicts happen for pretty unusual reasons. In the 1890s there was a small Baptist church in Mayfield County, Kentucky. The church had just two deacons, and those two men seemed to be constantly arguing and bickering with each other. On a particular Sunday, one deacon put up a small wooden ...read more

Travelers In The Fog

Contributed by James May on Apr 20, 2001

When we walk in our own understanding, without the leading of the Spirit, we are walking in a fog. We must allow the Day Star to arise within our hearts.

Travelers in the Fog A few days ago, I drove out of my driveway headed to work. It was about 6 AM and those of you who are up and about at that time of the morning will know that it is still dark outside.
