Imitators Not Pretenders Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 14, 2020

Revolutionary Resolutions Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

Paul wrote to the Thessalonians and suggested some vital areas for spiritual progress that are as relevant today as they were then. In fact, if we resolved to carry them out, they would revolutionize our Christian witness in the world.

No one doubts that man has made a great deal of progress in the physical realm. In 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew their heavier than air machine, the whole distance of their first flight was less than the wing spread of a modern B 36. Progress has been obvious. The progress in medicine has ...read more
