Many disagreements between conservative-minded and liberal-minded brethren center around what is done in the assembly of the local church.

New Website
About a month ago I started working on a new website to post sermon outlines and ideas. I went back and posted most of my sermon outlines from the last few years.

I hope you might find this new site helpful in some way.

Ethan Longhenry has written a good rebuttal to the claims made in the documentary which is posted on the Renewed in Spirit website. I encourage you to read his article.
