My friend and fellow servant of Christ in Kenya has published a new book available at Amazon.com. Pastor Olare delves into the question of the believer’s source for truth and practice and adeptly defends the Reformation touchstone of the authority and sufficiency of Scripture.

Our singing unto the Lord should make sense and teach those singing and listening about the God of the Bible. This video says it all about much modern “Christian” church music.

The existence of Christian schools, universities and Bible colleges is being challenged. Christian students are threatened and attacked. Christian bakers, photographers, county clerks, and pastors are targeted. Churches have been sued. And this is just the beginning, while most American churchgoers cover their eyes and their pastors ignore the Biblical call to the proclamation of the whole truth of God’s Word. The day is coming when you will be made to finally care … and then it will be too late.
In the last week, the firestorm has erupted to even greater proportions. Those who advocated for a “middle ground” now see there is no such thing. Dr Albert Mohler penned this important blog that we urge you to read and consider.
