If you have never had the chance to read John Bunyan's Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners, I HIGHLY recommend it - especially if past sin causes you to doubt your own salvation. Bunyan was a man who reveled in sin in his early life and later struggled with many doubts even after being saved. Yet God used him, not only as a faithful pastor, but also as the author of the most influential Christian book of all time after the Bible, The Pilgrim's Progress. If God can bring out of a wretched sinner a work that has impacted the church for over 300 years, there is hope yet for each of us. You can read my review now on The Believer's Byline - and at the time of this post the Kindle book is free on Amazon. A link to the purchase page has been provided at the end on the review.

This past weekend I had the opportunity to visit friends in Brownsville, Oregon - a community I have been to multiple times, but never taken the time to explore. This time I did, and it was amazing!

I had the amazing opportunity to visit Cornerstone Bible Church of Albany, Oregon this past weekend. This church has very deep connections to my Florida church, Grace Immanuel Bible Church, and it was a thrill to see the same biblically faithful teaching I enjoy in Florida happening in rural Oregon. If you live in the Willamette Valley and are looking for a home church, I can't recommend Cornerstone highly enough. You can read all about my time there now on The Believer's Byline.

ALBANY, OREGON – A mark of any biblically faithful church is a desire to replicate itself and its mission to share God’s word throughout the world. For the last 12 years, I have been a member of Grace Immanuel Bible Church in Jupiter, Florida – a church that lives out this mission in spades. A...
