The “Amputation” Approach to Changing Your Primary Story by TREVIN WAX for The Gospel Coalition In this series so far, I’ve laid out one of the challenges facing the church today: we affirm the public truth of the gospel but live as if another story is primary.

Practical Survival Radio Communications
Practical Survival Radio Communications by G.H. for Survival Blog Like many families, the miles between me and my brothers are many.

Realizing how important communications are to all of us, and from my role as the Logistics Chief for our County during major emergencies, I accepted the assignment of finding communication tools that will ensure communications no matter what.

…By Making Disciples and Multiplying Churches… Podcast by Pastor David Platt for Radical Churches and all followers of Christ are fully dependent on God’s Word in order to carry out God’s purposes.

Struggling… This parable is really creating a lot of confusion and questions. Judgement, inequality and classes seem to be showing up.

The Democrats, the Impeachment, and the Fable of the Scorpion and the Frog by Michael L. Brown for Ask Dr Brown It has been a virtual certainty from day one that the Republican-led Senate would not vote to remove President Trump. And many political pundits would agree that the House’s vote to impeach Trump, led by the Democrats, will only make him stronger. Why, then, proceed with such a suicidal political mission?
