By Steve Hulshizer

There is a great need in local churches today for godly shepherds. The absence of such
shepherds is readily apparent. Many of the saints are as sheep having no shepherd. Many
who are referred to as “elders” are more involved in “scheduling”
speakers and activities than they are in “shepherding.”

The Cult of Intellectualism

by Keith Keyser

The following quote appeared in a recent discussion of dispensationalism by a well-known
Bible teacher: “Many of these men [i.e. early proponents of dispensationalism] were
self-taught in theology and were professionals in secular occupations. Darby and Scofield,
for example, were attorneys, and Larkin was a mechanical draftsman … Unfortunately some
of these early framers of dispensationalism were not as precise or discriminating as they
might have been had they had the benefit of a more complete theological education.

Living on the Edge

by Steve Hulshizer

Eutychus is certainly not a name that is often thought of when names are being considered

study. There are no books written of his life, and seldom do we hear a sermon concerning
him.

Once more we have remembered Him,
Our Lord who loves us so.
His cruel death upon that cross.
His pain we’ll never know.
