Men of Character: Abraham: Holding Fast to the Will of God

Out of a sinful and pagan world, God called Abraham to leave everything and everyone he knew and travel to a land had never seen. Abraham stepped out in faith, yet he hesitated and delayed. Throughout his long life, it was only when Abraham fully yielded himself to the will of God, that God could fulfill His will through Abraham. Only his unconditional faith in God finally produced the son of p…

The God Who Is There: Finding Your Place in God's Story

It can no longer be assumed that most people--or even most Christians--have a basic understanding of the Bible. Many don't know the difference between the Old and New Testament, and even the more well-known biblical figures are often misunderstood.

Christ Crucified: A Puritan's View of the Atonement
