    The will of God, as it is relates to man, is manifested in three basic expressions: sovereign, conditional and paternal. Each uniquely depicts His dealings with, and His relationship to, man in particular and His entire creation in general.

    One of the rallying cries in the church is "let someone else do it!" Why do people say that, and how do we change their minds about it?

    OPEN: A church once put this on the back page of their bulletin - CHURCH MOURNS DEATH OF PROMINENT MEMBER The church was saddened this past week to learn of the death of one of its most prominent members, "Someone Else." "Someone’s" passing creates a vacancy that will be difficult to fill. ...read more

    Praying Without A Sense Of Failure

    Contributed by Nigel Heath on Sep 6, 2009
