Wes Fowler

The truth is that cooperation on a scale the size of the MBC, or especially the SBC, requires grace, patience, flexibility, perseverance, collaboration, and trust. Is it always easy? No. Is the process always smooth? No. Will we always agree with everything? No. But is cooperation for the sake of the gospel worth the effort?  Yes, cooperation is absolutely worth the effort.

Glory in resurrection

Rob Phillips

The glory we experience now as Christ lives in us, and the glory we experience in death as our souls and spirits ascend into heaven, are partial works of glorification. But full glorification for followers of Jesus takes place when he calls our bodies from the grave and gives us incorruptible bodies like the body he bore when he rose from the dead.

Missouri lawmakers approve bill allowing school chaplains

Timothy Faber

Our public schools often allow chaplains after a tragedy has occurred, as there is a recognition that chaplains can provide comfort, hope, and healing. But why must we wait for a tragedy to occur before allowing our students to avail themselves of the services of a chaplain? Why not be proactive? Why not make this resource available to students before a crisis or tragedy strikes? Missouri lawmakers have passed a bill that would make this possible.
