A Biblical Reworking of Our Message and Methods of Evangelism
Rev. Cory Kloth | I started thinking about the message and methods of evangelism when I was in college. I was up late one night studying while watching one of those late night talk shows. This particular show had scheduled as the main guest...

Discipleship and the Church
Rev. Rich Lusk | The ancient saying is true: One cannot have God for his Father unless he has the church for his mother. The church, like Noah’s ark, may stink on the inside, but it sure beats drowning in the wrath of God on the outside.
