Let No Man Deceive Himself
by Joey Carroll Corinth Missionary Baptist Church

Deception began very early in the history of all things. It was in the garden that the serpent deceived or lied to Eve, and she ate. But we know Eve was not innocent in the matter. She certainly had the time to consider the issue at hand. She had time to recall the command that had been given to her husband from God Himself. She was certainly not force fed that fateful fruit. She willingly put forth her hand and disobeyed God.

The Temple of God, Part 2
by Joey Carroll Corinth Missionary Baptist Church

The people among whom God dwells. Last week, I tried to help us understand that this is Paul’s way of defining the Church in essence. Church is not somewhere we go nor something we do on Sunday morning. The Church, local and universal, are those who have been purchased out from among men by the blood of Christ, who have been set apart for the worship and service of God, whom God has chosen to dwell among uniquely. That reality has profound implications.

The Temple of God
by Joey Carroll Corinth Missionary Baptist Church

The most enjoyable season of life for my wife and I was those years we had our children at home. Older folks would often tell me to enjoy it because it goes by so quickly. Boy, that was an understatement. It certainly seems like it went by in a flash. I miss coming home from work to what was once my family of five. My wife and I still enjoy just the two of us. Road trips and great restaurants are plenty now. But we both willingly confess that the days behind us are our favorite, so far.

God-Given Ministry
by Sarah Wooten

Do you remember the story in Acts 16 where Paul, Silas, and Timothy were trying to go to Asia to preach the gospel? Despite their multiple attempts, the Holy Spirit would not allow it.
