John the Baptist was sent beforehand to ‘prepare the way for the Lord’ (Isaiah 40:3; Matthew 3:3). Thus, John’s ministry always pointed away from himself to the One who was to come: ...read more

A young gentleman named Rex, a student at the University of Southern Mississippi at Hattiesburg, came to see his Wade Hornets play. He did not know that across the field ...read more
