Steve has recently been encouraged by this blog and wanted to encourage you with it too. https://barnabaspiper.com/2018/01/130-lines-from-hymns-to-encourage-you.html
The Fear of God in Puritan Theology & Spirituality
I had the pleasure earlier this month of joining this online lecture, hosted by Heritage Bible College. This was a fascinating hour with Stephen Yuille to learn some about Puritans, which was very helpful, but also about the Biblical idea of the fear of the Lord. I thought you might be encouraged by this. […]
Biblical Infidelity
I read a headline a few weeks ago entitled, “Biblical infidelity in top evangelical institutions, leaders”. Now, sadly, there have been many headlines over the years and again recently about moral infidelity among professing Christian leaders. So it is not uncommon to see ‘infidelity’ in an article regarding the most recent pastor removed from his […]
Open Hands
Jason and I have two kids, Anthony and Jessica. We were not believers when we got married or when we had our kids. By God’s grace, we came to faith while they were both still young and so we had the privilege of teaching our kids about the Lord and bringing them up in a Christian home. […]
Preach the Gospel to Yourself
Our mission as a church is “To fulfill the Great Commission in the spirit of the Great Commandment.” In simple terms, this means we are to preach the gospel and make disciples of all nations, and do all of this while loving God and one another. We have an easy time, generally speaking, knowing how […]
A Crucial Conversation In Light of the Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd Killings
There are two videos in this post, be sure to scroll down to watch both. Recently, the death of Mr. Ahmaud Arbery in Brunswick, GA made the news. When news like this breaks, there can be a disconnect between the ways black and white Christians and Christian leaders respond. We need to learn […]
Keith Green

My Redemption Story: How I came to faith in Christ
I grew up in a Christian home from the time I was four. My family attended charismatic churches that put a significant emphasis on hearing from God through extrabiblical prophecy, healing services, and speaking in tongues. The Bible was hardly ever opened. At the age of seven, I was baptized, although I had no idea […]
From hypocrisy to freedom!
If you’ve heard my testimony, you know that as soon as I was old enough to stay home from church, I did. My parent’s church was boring. Full of shiny, happy, well-dressed people, who looked great on the outside but seemed a little too flawless to be real. Church to me was just a place […]
God’s Impeccable Timing
God’s timing in answering prayer is perfect and my hope is to illustrate this as I tell you how I came to work for Redemption. A while back, I used to work in the business world where I met my husband Chris. Once we got married and had our second child, Chris and I […]
