On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther tacked up 95 theses on the church door at Wittenberg.

As you look on the church landscape, youth are leaving the faith in droves. The modern church, overall, is struggling to reach the next generation with the gospel. What has happened?

A Puritan\'s Mind The term “Molinism” was recently brought to my attention. As I was doing some research I found this article on APM’s website and it seemed to me to offer the best summary of what I had been reading.

“I frankly confess that, for myself, even if it could be, I should not want ‘free-will’ to be given me, nor anything to be left in my own hands to enable me to endeavour after salvation; not merely because in face of so many dangers, and adversities and assaults of devils, I could not stand [...]

Reformation Theology I speak for many when I say that I have not always embraced the doctrines of grace or what is commonly called Calvinism.

Prays Mill Baptist Church Every year during the fall, the air becomes crisp, the days shorter, and the end of October is marked by a celebration known to us as Halloween.
