In 1987 at age 10 my great grandma died and her funeral devastated me. I remember going home and balling my eyes out, getting on my knees before the Lord and making a profession of faith. At that time I still didn’t know what that meant or even looked like. Yet my loving mother still dragged me to church with her most Sundays up until High School. I entered college as a “non-professing Christian”.
You're invited to a Summer Module entitled "Calling & Cultivation." Immanuel Baptist Church of Sacramento, California, will host the module June 9 thru 15. Pastors Jeff Johnson and Robert Briggs will address the subject of a "call to ministry," as well as the cultivation of godliness at the level of a man's personal character, marriage and family, and his public ministry. Dr Michael Haykin will serve as a guest lecturer and speak the final day on the personal piety of 18th century Calvinist Baptists. 
I'd like to invite you to our 2014 spring module on the subject of biblical interpretation or hermeneutics. Pastor Mark Chanski, author of Manly Dominion and Womanly Dominion, will serve as our primary lecturer. He will be joined by Dr Mark Ward Jr who will give three lectures that provide an overview and assessment of the three major Bible software platforms (Bibleworks, Logos, and Accordance). Grace Baptist Church of Taylors, South Carolina, will host the module on May 5th thru 9th. For a course syllabus, lecture schedule, and registration form, see the following links provided.
God pursued me across the planet. I was a recent college graduate living as an expatriate in South Korea, teaching English to middle school students. I was also in flight—fleeing from the God who called me to himself for rescue, forgiveness, and acceptance. For years I had rejected the gospel. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved me, even when I was dead in my trespasses, made me alive together with Christ. By grace I was saved.
I had the privilege of growing up in a godly, Christian home. At a very young age, I had a fear of standing before the Lord at the judgment seat. One night during a strong thunderstorm, I made a profession of faith. During my teen years, I retained that fear of judgment, and I could never seem to get an assurance of my salvation. I went to church three times a week, went to a Christian school where the Word of God was consistently taught, and had godly parents encouraging me on throughout the week. Although I was surrounded by all these blessings, I never studied the Word on my own.
A Reformed Baptist Seminary professor and graduate have collaborated to write an excellent and practical book on the topic of "spiritual warfare." Pastors Brian Borgman and Rob Ventura affirm the reality of demonic "principalities and powers" against which the Christian must war. But they avoid the imbalance found in some literature on this topic that encourages the believer to look for a demon behind every door, under every table, and inside every cupboard. Below you can browse the table of contents, preface, and introduction.
