The second heading which must be considered with regard to Matthew 24:36 is … II. Its Foolish Perversion One of the surprising things about what Camping’s prediction is that he actually named a specific day. This seems to contradict his own comments on...
Dr. Waldron’s Travels
From the desk of Dr. Waldron: I am currently in Romania where I will be preaching for Pastor Mirces Aioanei. I will be preaching four times at a conference on Saturday, one time each at two local churches in Arad, and once on Monday for a meeting of local Baptist...
Family-Integrated Church 14: Why the family-integrated church is not demanded by the regulative principle! (Part 1)
