Should Mark 16:9-20 Be In The Bible?
(This article and the linked paper are from an old Freed-Hardeman friend, David Hester. This is an important scholarly work which should be considered by mature Christians. I think David has reached some very valid conclusions here and I commend his article to your reading. As always, please post your comments below and we will […]
What Pro-Lifer’s Really Want
Abortion is probably the single most polarizing discussion in America. Few people are in the middle and most have staked out their positions long ago. Still there are frequent debates. Conservative Chuck Norris entered the fray with an article entitled “Away with the Manger.” In it he suggests that abortion may have been driven in […]
Where Is Peace?
The world seeks peace. But since almost the beginning it seems peace cannot be found. The first couple found themselves at odds with God over their sin (Genesis 3:6). As a consequence they lost both of their sons, one as a victim of murder and the other as the murderer (Genesis 4:8). Turmoil would continue […]

Forced to Assist in Abortion
There are few things in life that I am certain about but abortion is one of them. It’s just wrong. Now comes word that a nurse was forced to assist in what turned out to be a non-emergent abortion even though the nurse had serious moral issues with the procedure. I’d suggest you read this […]
Sermon Preview for Sunday December 13, 2009
I’m looking forward to Sunday both because it is a day of worship and because we have two lessons that I think will be useful for everyone. Sunday morning, we will continue our studies through the Gospel of Mark. Our lesson is called, The Kingdom Comes with text taken from Mark 9:1. The Bible uses […]
What Do You Think About Church Buildings?
I’d like to talk for a few minutes about something that is largely in the realm of opinion. I have some thoughts myself and will post them in a separate article soon. But for the moment, I’d like to pose a question and have you offer your thoughts here on the blog. Here it is: […]
