This episode offers an…
What then? Shall we try to put another meaning into the text than that which it fairly bears? I trow not. You must, most of you, be acquainted with the general method in which our older Calvinistic friends deal with this text. “All men,” say they,—“that is, some men”: as if the Holy Ghost could not have said “some men”…
I want to challenge you to read “The Potter’s Promise: A Commentary on Romans 9” I have just finished this book and highly recommend. “Confused by the issues surrounding Calvinism? Does Romans 9 teach unconditional predestination? Want to cut through some of the red tape? Then read Leighton’s book. He is charitable but gets right to the point, making a strong,…
I Samuel 16:7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. As the story starts Samuel is just sad that God didn’t use…
I literally do not know what to say. Yesterday was a tremendously wonderful day. I saw so many people who worked so hard. I want to thank all of Vision. I want to thank all of our missionaries. Vision supports a lot of missionaries and currently has 23 families that are members of the church. Trent Cornwell and his…
I have spent the last several days here in Arequipa. Our missionaries are doing a great job. I am grateful to see God at work. There were over 1,000 in the largest night of the Pastor’s School, I believe! But as I look around I notice that all the missions are either pulling out or not planting churches. They may…
Nepal’s capital, Kathmandu, is the largest city in the nation with a population of 1.7 million in the Kathmandu District and upwards of 2.5 million in the greater Kathmandu Valley. Like greater Nepal, Hinduism and Buddhism are considered its main religions. While Christians are certainly in the minority in Kathmandu, there are about 15 independent Baptist churches located throughout the…
Of course it is recognized that many types in the Old Testament have been fulfilled, that the Mosaic Law has ended with the work of Christ on Calvary, and that the predicted restoration of Israel is yet future. However, these radical differences in the operational economy of God have not changed the fundamental purpose of God which relates to all…
The country of Nepal is home to over 29 million people, the majority of which are Hindus. While Christianity is growing in Nepal, it is still less than 3% Evangelical Christian. But that hasn’t stopped the Lord from doing a work in the country.[1] There is a church in every one of the 75 districts of Nepal, and there are…
Commonly known as Greater Portland, the Portland-Auburn metro area is home to over half a million people, making it over one-third of the total population of the state of Maine.[1] Portland, the hub of the metro area, is a city rich in history as it was originally formed just ten years after America declared her independence from Britain.[2] It is…
Just a 60-minute drive from Montreal, Quebec, Plattsburgh is known as Montreal’s U.S. suburb.[1] Due to its close proximity to Canada, there is much Canadian influence in the city. For instance, some of the street signs throughout the city are bilingual – in English and French.[2] Another point of interest is that the City of Plattsburgh was the first city in…
