Are you failing in your calling to be salt and light in the world? I’d like to make the case that it is our clear duty and responsibility to vote. When Christians fail to vote, we fail to carry out the sacred responsibility of being good stewards of the nation God has provided for us. We have often heard it said, “We should render to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.” The point here is that we should render to the government what is necessary for the govern

For a few weeks, I’ve had several conversations regarding a statement from our Lead Pastor, John Richardson. Perhaps you remember this...

Harry S. Truman once said, “Not all readers are leaders, but all leaders are readers.” I heard this quote shared just a few days after moving into my role as Campus Pastor at a small Christian college and seminary. To that point, I did not take the time to read. But that quote crashed a cymbal in my mind that continues to echo to this day. Not everyone is called to lead. And for those who are called to lead, not all come from reading backgrounds (like me). We can firm those t

Over the past few years, we’ve revamped a milestone moment that has become relatively common in Baptist churches called baby/child...

Mark 8:36-3736 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? 37 For what can a man give in return for his soul? As some of you know, the RFBC worship ministry has been working hard to record songs that will help you facilitate family worship in your home. The idea and hope behind this ongoing project is to equip families with a resource that is connected directly to our worship on Sunday mornings. This is why we record songs that are familiar to

Our family story during a testing year! This is an article that I, Edi, wrote for encouraging believers to have the right perspective during their time of testing. Isaiah 43:7 we read "Everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed even whom I have made." Isaiah 43:21 "The people whom I formed for myself will declare my praise." There is an inner hidden expectation and desire inside us, as believers in the Lord Jesus, to have a pea
