We as God’s people are living in a physical land of Canaan, a land flowing with milk and honey; a land where nearly every desire can be serviced. Satan is working as hard as ever, and his temptations especially catch the attention of our generation. He dangles the movie before our eyes, prods us on […]
Everybody wears clothes. Everybody wears different kinds of clothes for different reasons. Teenagers especially like to experiment with the new fashions to be “in.” But the emphasis put on fashion these days is bad for American teenagers.

In the last articles we discussed the history of the Janssen case, a case which formed such an important part of the history of our own churches.
