You don't need to wait until Sunday to dig into the Word and grow in your faith. There is a wealth of resources available to us online. Knowing that you are called to share Jesus with those around you during the week, it should drive you to study. It's not just for the pastor! Blogs-The Gospel CoalitionThis resource is helpful as you can find articles on most topics, with solid answers and a variety of teachers and writers, many of them contributors to The Gospel Project that we studied last year. We are a fellowship of evangelical churches deeply committed to renewing our faith in the gospel of Christ and to reforming our ministry practices to conform fully to the Scriptures. We have become deeply concerned about some movements within traditional evangelicalism that seem to be diminishing the church’s life and leading us away from our historic beliefs and practices. On the one hand, we are troubled by the idolatry of personal con- sumerism and the politicization of faith; on the other hand, we are distressed by the unchallenged acceptance of theological and moral relativism. These movements have led to the easy abandonment of both biblical truth and the transformed living mandated by our historic faith. We not only hear of these influences, we see their effects. We have committed ourselves to invigorating churches with new hope and compelling joy based on the promises received by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. - Ed Stetzer BlogEd Stetzer is the President of LifeWay Research, a prolific author, and well-known conference and seminar leader.
