Here are Four Things To Know this week:
 
Paul Tripp believes the Doctrine of Sin is the most important, yet discouraging doctrine.
First-Person: If Our Cooperation Is Going to Work 
“I still believe we are better together than we are apart. If we will commit to greater transparency, more clarified unity, and stronger generosity, the Lord may bless our work once more in a greater way than ever before.” - Andrew Hebert, Pastor, Mobberly Baptist, Longview, TX
 
What’s Behind America’s Great Dechurching?
The authors of The Great Dechurching suggest that low expectations of those in the pews and widely embraced individualist assumptions have led to fewer and fewer Americans finding time for church.
 
How are we to engage with individuals who disagree and desire confrontation? 
Steward the truth with grace, not condemnation.
Excellent point!
 
 
May the Lord bless you and use you for His glory.

Your brother in Christ,
 
Ray
