Politics According to the Bible

How can and should a Christian seek to influence government and what are the biblical principles concerning government? Christians need to know that God cannot be left out of or separated from any area of life, especially the political.  What does a Christian need to know and do in such a circumstance to think clearly about politics from a biblical perspective?

The Kingdom Misunderstood, Part 1

I begin by introducing you to Bill and Mary Wright. Bill is a 34 year old husband and father of two children, Terry 10 and Susan 7.

Presenting Christ to Children

Making disciples and assisting parents to disciple their children is the long term task of the church's ministry.

How We Teach and How They Learn, Part 9 - Learning Styles, Culture, and Denominations

They actually believe that truth is whatever an individual wants it to be.
