Blog: The men leading the Together For The Gospel conference have decided to start blogging together.

Film: I hope this will be the last I say about The End of the Spear. Bob Bixby points out the importance of the word “activist.”

    It Comes with a Personal Tutor

    The promised Spirit has come, and one of the great helps this Helper performs is a kind of tutoring. Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth says it well: “Unlike any other book that has ever been written, the Bible is alive; and it comes with a personal tutor—the Holy Spirit, who lives in us.”
