The new tolerance isn’t the old tolerance: Josh McDowell saw it coming
In 1996 I attended my second Southern Baptist Convention in the New Orleans Superdome. One of the speakers was the well-known Christian apologist Josh McDowell.

Seasons

God keeps His word
God keeps His word. Every time. No exceptions. Did you know that is one of the great themes of the Christmas story we are all familiar with? It all begins during a crisis in Judah that took place over 700 years before Christ was born. King Ahaz is ruling in Judah and he receives wordContinue reading “God keeps His word”

Many Christian churches observe what is called Advent on the Sundays leading up to Christmas. The term “advent” has Latin roots and simply means “coming.” It refers to the coming of Christ. As early as the fourth century, Christian churches were designating a period of time leading up to the celebration of Christ’s birth. ItContinue reading “Living between the Advents”

In this series of messages, I have dealt with some of the key questions that people have about church life today: What is the church? Is it still important to attend church in today’s digital world?
