If I Could Change Anything about the Modern Church

I have often been asked what I consider the greatest weakness of today’s church or what I would change about today’s church if I could.

Must You Read at Least One Spurgeon Biography?

I am not aware of a verse in the Bible that says every Christian must read at least one biography of Charles Spurgeon. Or every Calvinist, at least.

One of the great privileges of my life has been the opportunity to travel far and wide.
