The Debate About Divorce (Part 2) Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 28, 2018

I am well aware that this is a very sensitive and somewhat contentious issue. Likely everyone here has been affected by divorce in some way or another. I too know the hurt ...read more

Is There Not A Cause?

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Sep 27, 2016

As David stood in bewilderment of the lack of courage among the men of Israel, he asked the question: Is there not a cause? This question remains relevant today. Surely you will agree there is a cause, and we must be willing to stand.
