As Brother Seth Kelly speaks to the congregation from the pulpit, his emphasis is knowing nothing but Jesus Christ and him crucified, and the excellency of the knowledge of Christ, from 1Corinthians 2:2 and Philippians 3:8. The message and the spirit by which it was delivered was greatly edifying to the church.

In this month’s edition, you will find articles by Joe Holder, Let Your Light So Shine; Tim McCool, Noah’s Faith; Ralph Harris, The Sad State of Unbelievers; an interesting list showing the Bible doctrine of Election described in various denominational articles of faith and creeds; and two short articles by our pastor, The Patience of Job and Jesus and the Father’s Will.

What does it mean to be a “keeper at home”? The Biblical truth of the roles of wives and mothers is almost foreign to the world, even to the world of modern Christianity. This series of messages from Titus Chapter 2 continues as Brother Matt explores the timeless principles set forth in Scripture regarding God’s structure for the family.
