“…a kinder, gentler version of the law: “Do this and you will live.” Great article from Todd Pruitt
Most of the people who read this are aware of and have rejected what is commonly known as “the prosperity gospel.” This heresy of “name it, claim it” is advanced by such false teachers as Kenneth Copeland, Creflo [...]
Excellent questions from Joe Thorn…
So, I am working on Philippians 2:6-11 for our upcoming worship gathering. In my sermon prep throughout the week, and again after the studying is complete, I typically ask myself a number of questions. These questions help to clarify and correct my preaching even before I stand up on Sunday.

From Todd Pruitt at 1517…
