The Holiness of God by R.C. Sproul Yet another book to add to my growing category called “why didn’t I read this before?” R.C. Sproul does a masterful job of putting high theological truths into accessible languages. His down-to-earth illustrations – using an NFL game to illustrate the beauty of holiness, for example – make…

On Sunday Pastor Francivaldo called the men together before the service to talk about the possibility of a men’s ministry for the Ebenezer church.

The plagues of Egypt, the talking donkey, Christ’s hilarious jabs at the Pharisees – all represent some pretty high comedy in the pages of Scripture. But even I could not have predicted the exquisite timing of the “divine comedy” that unfolded last week. I…
