    Paul gives us reasons for obey God . . . even when no one else may be looking.

    Paul exhorts the Philippians to obey God, even when he wasn’t around.

    In a church you need "Reaching Out", you need "Reaching In" but Revival is about "Reaching Up."

    I think, that in talking about Revival, these past two Sundays, I may have caused some confusion over what I mean by that word and the reason for that is because Revival, is not a word that we hear much about in the churches of Christ. We know what the word Retreat means, we know what the words ...read more
