Hey Christian, Don’t “Quiet Quit” your Faith
Have you been hearing the term “quiet quitting” as much as I have lately?

Or as we might put it today ‘everyday life’.”
Can I Be Angry with God and Be Holy?

How the 5 Solas Do More Than Respond to Catholicism
Michael Kruger: “Some misunderstand the 5 Solas as merely a response to Roman Catholicism and nothing more.

Flashback: Why We Must Emphasize A Pastor’s Character Over His Skill
Of all the many qualifications laid out in the New Testament, there is just one related to skill (he must have the ability to teach others) and one related to experience (he must not be a recent convert)…What fits a man to ministry is not first accomplishment or capability but character.
The Lord gets his best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction.
