The individuals God saves
by Sarah Wootten Corinth Missionary Church

Pretend you’re forming a group of people whose task is to build a house that is on par with the Biltmore Estate. You would need an electrician, plumber, architect, carpenter, landscape designer, stone mason, and many more tradesman. You would choose individuals who have previously proven their worth and who you know can complete the job skillfully. You would never choose me to be your electrician; I have no knowledge of the trade. You would only hire the best experts.

God’s Glory in the Gospel Design
by Sarah Wootten

I was part of a very awkward conversation a few years ago. I was on a business call working out a schedule for upcoming projects with a client. As the discussion wore on, it became apparent that the client was jealous. Why was he jealous?

The Wonder of Marriage

by Joey Carroll Corinth Missionary Baptist Church

I had the honor of marrying a young couple this past weekend. I have known the young man since he was a small child. The young lady I have only known for a couple of years. The two of them could not be more different. Their personalities are different. Their perspectives on particular issues are different. The way each of them was raised is different. Their church backgrounds are different. Even the countries from which they came from are different. In fact, the couple only shares two things in common that I know of – their love for each other and more recently their faith in our Lord.

Digging Out of Division
If you read the article last week, you know that I left you in a terrible state. Unfortunately, it is the very same state the Lord found you in when He called you to Himself. A state in which you lived by “I” and for “I.” The basis for all of your life was very self-centered – in all your thoughts, your opinions and your judgments. But when you came to faith in Christ, you began to understand that your old way is certainly not the Lord’s way. And so, you began a life-long journey of repentance as you turned from your way of thinking and began walking in the wisdom of God’s Word.
