Why I Am an Anabaptist – Applications

Why do we do what we do? People around us may think we are weird. Even if the culture around us changes, that does not mean that we need to change. We must never elevate our practices to be equivalent with the Bible, but they can still be beneficial. Some Biblical mandates for Biblical practices:... Read More

How Does God Use Adversity?

When we face difficulty, we ask why God allows misfortune in my life. A better question would be, how does God want to use adversity in my life? What would He like to accomplish? Misfortune is the wrong word to use because it is too early to tell. Is God present and active in our... Read More
