Read MoreThankfully, Some Things Just Never Change
Typically, when comparisons are made between current events and past events, the result is a realization that things are worse today or that negative realities of the past have been perpetuated.

We enjoyed tremendous services and other sessions at our recent annual meeting, held at Mount Calvary Baptist Church in Greenville, SC.

There lurks within every human heart an intractable rebel, bent on refusing the rightful lordship of Jesus Christ. There is, of course, no answer to this defect other than the grace of God. The gospel changes the terms of the battle; the Spirit strengthens us; Scripture directs us in the fight. But even for believers…

FrontLine | November/December 2021 | VOLUME 31 | NUMBER 6 Welcome to Dispensationalism! “Dispensationalism” is a big word, and people struggle to understand its meaning. Some people assume that if you believe in dispensations, then you must be a dispensationalist. But all Christians recognize that God has administered His plan in different ways at different…
