Shady Grove 7 C’s Conference, March 21st-23rd
March 4th, 2014 by Church Office
Today’s post-Christian world is out to undermine the authority of God’s Word. In fact, our society has become anti-Christian, and the biblical account of Creation is under attack by Bible skeptics as never before. Much is at stake, for the redemptive work of Christ on the Cross is based on the foundational book of Genesis.
Generations of people have been brought up to view the Bible as merely a book; a book containing many interesting stories and moral teachings, but in the end, just a book. This lack of understanding and appreciation for God’s Word explains why people, especially young people, have so many questions about how the Bible relates to issues they face in their lives. These issues include evolution, the age of the earth, abortion, the origin of life, fossils, sexuality, death, racism, marriage, suffering, salvation, dinosaurs, and many other important topics.

Tim Jacob & Ken Yang To Address Southeast Arkansas Tea Party, March 10th
March 4th, 2014 by Submitted
Tim Jacob and Ken Yang will be the featured guest speakers at the March 10 meeting of the Southeast Arkansas TEA Party. Mr. Jacob, who is the Chairman of Arkansas Term Limits, a group adamantly opposed to extending the term limits of elected officials in Arkansas, will speak about the item on the November 2014 ballot that will allow that extension. The term limits issue is not shown in the title of the legislation up for vote, but instead; slips in language that, if passed, would allow elected officials to serve longer terms and garner more retirement and expense account benefits from the taxpayers of the state. If the extension of term limits passes, an Arkansas State Legislator would be able to serve twice the length of time currently allowed and then retire with full benefits. Mr. Jacob recently appeared on former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee’s program on Fox News Channel to discuss the ramifications of this issue. Read the rest of this entry »
