Just as society depends upon the family for its stability, so the family in turn depends upon the truths of the Holy Scriptures for its stability. What a blessing and privilege to impart to our children the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. Does your family share regularly in bible study…
Structure and Stability of the Family
What time is it? The bible clarifies that God intended for the family to consist of one husband (male) and one wife (female). He spoke of the family as something “God has joined together” and warned that man must not separate this God ordained unit. Ultimately, the stability of our our society, economy, and general…
Children Are Welcome Here
“Children are a blessing from the Lord not an interruption to our plans”. Jason Allen, president of Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, shares some good insight for families with children and encourages pastors to “create a context where parents don’t feel like they’re interrupting the service if their kids are there,” I found this eleven minute conversation interesting…

But the pressing desire is that “every word” that proceeds from the mouth of God will sufficiently meet every need. Here are some recent pictures. Rejoice in the Lord…

Lord’s Day Preaching at Eastside Baptist Church
The preaching of 1 Corinthians chapter 7 was among the more complex texts I’ve ever preached. My knowledge of this text has been increased and I’m sure will need to increase more. May God give grace to the hearing of His word.
Update on Pastor Saeed
Here is an update from Naghmeh Abedini on pastor Saeed… (March 29, 2014) Saeed remains in a private hospital in Tehran. Close family members have been allowed some visitation. Although he looks very skinny, he is feeling much better thanks to all of your prayers and being able to be in a better environment (hospital) where…

I hope you are able to join me at the Southern Idaho Bible Lecture Series at the College of Southern Idaho on March 30 at 5PM. This gathering of churches is designed to provide fellowship and encouragement from Scripture as we look unto the Lord. I’ve invited two men to help me examine Jeremiah 6:16-17.…
