One thing we can be sure of: If we do not actively seek to come under the influence of God’s Word, we will come under the influence of sinful society around us.

An authorized gospel comes with an authorized ministry. It is ministers of God’s Word – not people who like to carve out their own niches, share their own experiences and determine their own emphasis – whom God qualifies by training, testing and approving and who bring us God’s gifts in his name. Our goal is [...]

My feelings are not God. God is God. My feelings do not define truth. God’s word defines truth. My feelings are echoes and responses to what my mind perceives. And sometimes – many times - my feelings are out fo sync with the truth. When that happens – and it happens every day in some measure [...]
