    When trying to start a new church, we often think we should send church planters to the largest populated areas. However, both John the Baptist and Jesus preached in the wilderness, and people came to them where they were!

The Lord can be found abiding – and alive and well – in small places; and it is very important for us to be reminded of this fact because of America’s belief that “bigger ...read more

    Covenant Before Culture

     | 190 views

    Marriage is God’s covenant design from creation, not a cultural contract, and only the new heart given by Christ can overcome hardness, restore faithfulness, and display His love to the world.

He didn’t haggle over texts. He went back to the garden. He started at the beginning. He said, “From the beginning it was not ...read more

    Creation praises God constantly; every blessing flows from Him, inviting us to join heaven’s chorus with grateful hearts and joyful worship.
