I just finished hemorrhaging over my latest message earlier today. I decided to study and write with a grand opening of our facility service in mind. I felt led to camp out in 1 Timothy 3:14-16. I entitled the message Why Church?: A Case for Christianity in a Many-Gods Age. I worked from the word pictures Paul [...]

27 million people are enslaved today – more than any other time in history. Why does this concern us? Listen to the stories below from some of those survivors. Victims are just like you and me. They needed a job. They needed to care for their kids. What would you do to protect your children [...]

I suspect there are more than one. This post concerns the prospect of danger in church growth given the fact that we will double our space at 872 Maitland Ave. We will have a lot more room for a lot more people.

Undaunted by the rain and wind, a bunch of us worked at Walmart today from 10 AM to 4 PM wrapping gifts for patrons for free. Due to the inclement weather we got stuck under an overhang away from the main traffic going into the store. So for a good bit of the afternoon I [...]

Today’s good word on PC’s day off comes from Octavius Winslow and his devotional entitled Morning Thoughts.
