A couple of years ago I posted a blog on How Christian Women Dress. In this blog I would like to look at 1 Timothy 2:9 in more detail.   In the King James Version of the Bible we read, “In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; [...]

“Major, area-wide conferences on revival and soul winning are sponsored by the Sword of the Lord, where thousands of preachers and tens of thousands of people learn how to…be filled with the Spirit for soul-winning power….” A quote in the book by Dr. Lee Roberson:  ”Most of the people who respond to the public invitation [...]

There are many reasons to teach but the one I am concentrating on today is a benefit for the teacher.
