Elijah

Elijah was called during Israel’s darkest hour. Ahab and Jezebel were turning people away from God. The writer of Kings recorded, “And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord above all that were before him. And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for […]

Earlier Is Not Always Better

It has almost become a mantra in my life that earlier is always better. The longer I procrastinate on anything, they harder the task is to accomplish.

The Autonomy of the Local Church

To have the proper background to enable us to understand the “autonomy of the local church,” we must have an understanding of the New Testament uses of the word “church.” By an investigation of the word of the Lord it will become evident that the word “church” is used in two senses by divine writers.

Is your marriage as happy as you want it to be? Many marriages today are in trouble and the mates are unhappy. One million divorces are granted in this country every year.
