Wealth - Our Duty to God

I’ve just read an excellent article by John Piper entitled, “Prosperity Preaching: Deceitful and Deadly“.

“Paul said we should not steal. The alternative was hard work with our own hands. But the main purpose was not merely to hoard [...]

Lectures To My Students…

Last night I began to read one of the ‘must reads’ for a preacher of the gospel. C.H. Spurgeon’s ‘Lectures to my Students’. It’s a fair size of nearly 600 pages.

A View From The Pew - An Interview With a Minister’s Wife

A few weeks ago, I promised to have an interview for you from a “very important person”. If you are married, then there ought not to be anyone more important to you on the earth than your wife, (at least that’s what you better tell them, or you’ll be in big trouble).
So here it is, [...]
