Songs of Our Faith [Recap]

When the Church Vote Doesn’t Go Your Way

I posted yesterday concerning the approval at the South Carolina Baptist Convention of the Great Commission Resurgence.  This approval met with a very significant majority vote (which shocked me personally).  While there are many different changes, the one that keeps me focused is that it changes the budget for more emphasis on sending more missionaries …

The Wrath of God

  Continuing in our study through the Book of John, “Knowing Jesus,” we talked today about the wrath of God and reality of hell. Throughout the whole service, we dealt with the topic head on.  Jeff’s sermon was right on.  True and compassionate. Rick also shared some details concerning our Project Love Christmas bash.  Here’s …
