Everyday people are faced with decisions—some big, some small. As Christians, we believe that we need to submit to God’s Word in all things. Many people struggle with discerning God’s will.

Read MoreThe Salt of the earth and Light of the world
Matthew 5:13-16, “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored?

Read MoreThe Worshipful Man
In Living Like a King, Richard Rohlin will be examining the kings of Israel and Judah during the Divided Kingdom period. He’ll look at the good, the bad, and the ugly, and from them we’ll learn together what kind of men we ought – or ought not – to be.

Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield was a professor of Theology at Princeton Seminary from 1887 to 1921. He is rightly considered one of the greatest if not the greatest American born theologians America ever produced. B.B.
