Anchored in Every Season: Committing to the Local Church Even When You Move Often

Dianne Jago

Life is full of transitions. Some people experience them more frequently than others—whether due to military service, job relocations, college, or other life circumstances. Before entering full-time ministry, our family was part of the military, moving every two to four years. With each relocation, we had to find a sound church, build relationships, and integrate […]

A Ministry of Defense

Jordan H

The church is under attack! This phrase is screamed from pulpits across America and has been repeated from generation to generation, acting as a battle cry to rally the troops into a spiritual war against the world. While I agree the church is under attack from the forces of Satan, I do not believe this is the only attack that threatens our churches.

Experiencing What They Dreamed

David Shannon

Spurgeon and the Sabbath: A Day of Joy

Brandon Rhea

Charles Dickens utilized his pen to influence his readers’ opinions. In a Christmas Carol, he strikes out against the ill-treatment of the poor through stinginess. He prescribed for Scrooge’s spirit to be replaced with the love for the common man. In another work, Little Dorrit, Dickens turned threatening eyes upon a practice that stifles man’s […]

Forgetting the Holiness of God

Robb Brunansky

In looking over the landscape of the church today, many people have noticed that the holiness of God has largely been forgotten, overlooked, and ignored. The late J.I. Packer claimed that the contemporary Christian finds holiness to be outdated and irrelevant. Kevin DeYoung wrote, “Shouldn’t those most passionate about the gospel and God’s glory also […]

Tom Ascol

(The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) convenes in Indianapolis June 11-12, 2024. The most significant vote that will be taken will be to ratify the “Law Amendment” into the constitution of the SBC.
