God’s Great Idea
Involvement in the local assembly takes time. And anything that uses our time must make a good case for doing so. Time is limited. We only have so much to give, so why should we give it to the assembly? There are good reasons. 1. The assembly is part of God’s eternal purpose (Eph. 1:11; […]

When abortion on demand swept the US, many Christians responded: “This world refuses and even murders its children.

The Changing Face of Missions
The onset of the world-wide missionary outreach of the assemblies began rather unpretentiously on a misty warfside in Gravesend, England, on June 12, 1829.
