Why Pronouns Matter…a Lot
Greg Koukl explains why pronouns matter an awful lot. “Here is what is at stake with those simple little words.

John Blanchard (1932-2021)
Author John Blanchard has gone to glory. Here is a brief remembrance of him. “In March, aged 88, Mr Blanchard told the story of his life and ministry in a recording entitled Before they leave the stage. He was humble, sharp, precise, concise and godly in all his responses. This quote summed him up, ‘As much as I can, as well as I can, for as long as I can.’ His overwhelming burden was that the Lord would raise up a new generation of young people willing to be called into full-time Christian service.”
Flashback: A 93-Million-Mile Love
As whole congregations love other whole congregations, we will be proving that the love within our churches is too strong to contain, too intense to remain within its four walls.
