Pandemic Prompts Churches To Consider Permanent Changes

It is distressing yet not surprising to see that some churches are seeing the pandemic as an opportunity to launch fully-online “churches.”

Wordless

I expect you’ll appreciate this reflection from Susan Lafferty.

Do the Work of an Evangelist

Steve Lawson: “With Apostolic authority, this imperative command comes with binding force. All pastors must do the work of an evangelist. They must earnestly proclaim the gospel message, urging people to trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. So, where should this pastoral evangelism begin?”

Rejoice in your wife’s godliness, and thank God for such a precious gift. Celebrate it by pursuing godliness of your own.

Confession sends a crucial message to our children. It reminds them that, yes, my parents are imperfect, but they are deadly earnest about following Christ, about wanting to change, and about doing things God’s way.
