Is the Evangelical Free Church Either?

By -
Many people have never heard of the Evangelical Free Church of America but since WW2 it has been one of the most influential evangelical denominations Known for large churches that are faithful the Bible and welcoming to Christians of diverse theological, cultural, potical and ethnic persuasion it has been a bulwark for the gospel around the world. The Church was known for expositional bible teaching that avoided typical denominational controversy like means and modes of baptism, communion, division over gifts and political divisions.

Can Christians Support Legal Exceptions to Abortion (Part 3)

Several years ago a friend who was a member of a congregation we were attending came to me and said, "Why is it that our church never says anything about homosexuality?"

It appears evident now that President Trump does not want the Epstein files released. This is the first time he has reneged on a campaign promise in his political career. Why would he do that? I think some reflection on history may give us some perspective on the Epstein files controversy. On October 10 1973 Vice President Spiro T Agnew resign his office after being indicted on bribery and corruption charges related to construction contracts he had been involved in while governor of Maryland. He later plead "nolo contendre" to charges of failing to report income on his taxes. This came at a particular bad time for then President Richard Nixon who was embroiled adverse publicity surrounding a break into the DNC headquarters in the Watergate building in Washington by some of his campaign operatives. While under grand jury investigation and with the specter of impeachment in the air Nixon sought to replace Agnew with a likeminded Republican so that if he did leave office he w...
