Dig Deeper: Interview with Nigel Beynon
About Dig DeeperWhen it comes to reading and understanding the Bible, a dangerous phrase is used by non-Christians and even some believers: “Well, that’s your interpretation.” It is true that without some care in your interpretation, you can “make” the Bible say almost anything.

A Case For Corporate Prayer Meetings (And Practical Tips) By Adam Miller
As a pastor’s kid, I was at the Church whenever the doors were opened. That meant Sunday School, Sunday morning, Sunday night, and of course the midweek prayer meeting. I dreaded the prayer meeting.

The Gospel Of The Kingdom Is Like An Old Hymn By Jared C. Wilson
The gospel is an old hymn. The gospel is sheet music printed in antiquarian typeface on a yellowed page in a dusty book. It’s the “old, old story” and the “old rugged cross.” It is four verses—and please don’t skip the third verse to expedite the invitation! The gospel is an invitation to a bygone […]
What Does God Desire From Us? By Adam Miller
When we talk about worship, we often paint ourselves into a corner and relegate the topic of conversation to music.
