Hope for the Church

The church is under constant attack these days, which can be very discouraging. Matthew 16:13-19 states the beginning of the church. It was founded on Peter's belief that Jesus was the anointed one and the gates of hell would not prevail against it. In Daniel 2, Nebuchadnezzar wanted his astrologers to tell him what he...

Lessons from Lot in Sodom

Lot meets the angels - Two angels came to the city gates of Sodom in the evening and found Lot sitting there at the gates. Lot, apparently, was an important man in the city. Lot invited them to his place for the night, but they said no, they would sleep in the open square. Lot... Read More

The movement that became known as Anabaptists was characterized by its focus on Scripture and gatherings of scholars for the purpose of study.
