The Bible Doctrine of the Lamb (01) – Sidlow Baxter
These three messages by Sidlow Baxter, an amazing preacher, pastor and author, will forever change the way you think of the Lamb of God.

Why? Looking for Reason and Logic.
Apparently as a child I would ask that question that many adults fear or tire of, “Why?” I wanted to know the why of everything. One year it got so bad that for Christmas my parents or grandparents bought me one of those mini, children’s encyclopedias. I remember asking the question “why?” very often because…

“Together” – Romans 8:28

Strategic Stands
In September of 1955 a relatively small ship sailed north of Scotland, far north, to a small rock island called Rockall. One writer described it as “the most isolated small rock in the oceans of the world”. Her Majesty’s Ship Vidal arrived and the next day sent a small contingent of men to raise the…

What Will You Leave Behind?
Recently I met a man who originally came from Hawaii. In discussing Hawaii’s history and current affairs, and by extension world affairs, I have to come to the conclusion that history is messy. One area of the world where acts in history have left us with troubles today is in the Pakistan/Afghanistan region. The British…
