Christian Education and Publications is always working to help the church in her calling to make disciples. In the first half of 2012 we will hold four one-day conferences designed to equip your entire congregation with a 2020Vision – a strong and motivating desire to see our homes and churches filled with kingdom disciples in the year 2020 and beyond.

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.

Bill and Mary are active church members and clearly demonstrate a love for the Lord that is obvious to others.

The gender-neutral approach of the TNIV (Today’s New International Version) in 2002 and 2005 became such a lightning-rod that the version never caught on with American evangelicals and has now been discontinued.

I have been in youth ministry long enough to know that arguing with your senior pastor in a public setting does not bode well for personal job security.  Yet, for a mind boggling thirty minutes I was doing just that at a recent staff retreat.  Oblivious to the obvious discomfort of the other staff, I plowed ahead as if the fate of the free world hinged on me winning this argument...

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