Study and Study Some More
Study and Study Some More – Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers were given to the church, although teachers get very little recognition or level of importance. That being said, and above the aforementioned, is individual soul liberty. If you study to shew yourself approved, you may be surprised by what truths you’ll learn that may not…

Baptists–Same or Different
Same or different — While researching a topic, I ran across some thoughts about the IFB church that rang loudly within my being. This isn’t a ringing of something exciting and new but of remembrance and concern. The IFB church is not a denomination, as we’d agree. The IFB church is an autonomous, local, and…
