A Challenge to Pastors – Part 1

Too often, pastors hesitate to preach against abortion and the radical homosexual agenda. The Bible speaks clearly on both issues, so why the hesitation? Dr. Jim Garlow, former pastor of Skyline Church in San Diego, asserts that pastors run into the pitfall of wanting to be loved by everyone in their pews.

The Powerful Influence of a Wife – Part 1

Christian wives are often misled by contemporary culture's false expectations of their husbands.
