I have had many discussions about the subject of baptism with people, and it never fails that sometime during the discussion, they just deny what the scriptures say about the topic. They at times just say, “I deny what you are saying about about baptism,” ignoring the fact that all I am ...read more

Why I Don’t Drink Any Alcohol (Part 1) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Feb 6, 2023

Should a Christian drink alcohol in moderation? What is "the whole counsel of God" concerning wine and alcoholic drinks? How does a believer make a scriptural "Risk Assessment" and wise choices about drinking alcohol? This message explores those issues.

For some, this could mean the difference between a fruitful Christian life versus a life that ends in disappointment—a life of unfulfilled potential. It could even mean the difference between life and death for some. That’s why we must address ...read more
