From Death to Life – Book Update

February 27, 2018 by Allen Nelson IV

(Photo Credit: Stephen J. Melniszyn) I’ve had several people asking me about where I am on my current book project, so I thought I’d have a place where I could point folks to give them the latest on how things are progressing. I’m pretty new to this book writing thing. Not that I haven’t wanted to write before, but wanting […]

An Open Letter to Affinity and Attractional Based Church Planters in the SBC

February 15, 2018 by Allen Nelson IV

Dear Church Planter, I’ve been sitting on this letter for a while.  I’ve thought through and prayed through the wisdom in writing this and gone back and forth several times on whether or not I should make this public.  I have some important things to say I think, but I hope you’ll take it in […]

I thought I might relay to you my own story concerning a similar experience. As a matter of background, I was saved in 1997 […]

Now, we are just now transitioning back into in-person services so I knew our attendance would be low as we also continue to live stream for those unable […]

You Don’t Have To Enter Every Argument You’re Invited To

Everyone is made in God’s Image Everyone you meet is made in the image of God. Thus, each person you encounter has a level of dignity because of his or her Creator, and you are responsible to treat folks with respect as a consequence of this fact. Individual people have suppressed the truth of God […]

Something To Think About! The Arminian doctrine which denies the perseverance of the saints (in order that man’s “free-will” may remain sovereign and autonomous) is detestable to the people of God. A God who would hold you in His bosom against your own will is not a God that the unregenerate mind can worship. Free-willers and […]
