Here are a few observations I collected in my study of the doctrine of regeneration. (You can watch the sermons from the Gospel of John here.) First, there is no biblical record of Jesus or His…
Dear Dads and Moms of Pueblo West Baptist Church: When it comes to the subject of sex God had to make me spiritually alive and intrude into my life to give me any desire to honor Him with my body and consider the Scriptures as my sole source of authority regarding the subject. I tell you that because below I’m going to…
