I don’t imagine many of the readers of theBride are even aware of the controversy I’m about to speak to… But I feel obligated to go on the record as a pastor of a Baptist Church affiliating with the Southern Baptist Convention asking for full clarity from Brewton-Parker College, Ergun Caner, and Georgia Baptists on…

Ill-treated By A World Too Evil To See

He Is Able
Likely you will notice the social media blitz and the hash-tags #freesaeed appearing throughout the day. Be sure of this, ‘truth is lacking’ in most political offices in our land today.

Review of “the Gospel Focus of Charles Spurgeon” (2 of 3)
I pick up the review of Steve Lawson’s book “The Gospel Focus of Charles Spurgeon” in chapter 3 (page35). The chapter title is “Sovereign Grace”. The never ending debate between Calvinism and Arminianism had all but disappeared as Spurgeon came preaching. The preaching of the puritans and the reformers were fading fast. But now so with…
