Recently I was invited to visit Greece for an inside look at Gospel work among the tens of thousands of refugees there...The refugees I met in Athens are from some of the most war-ravaged and Gospel-destitute regions of the Middle East, including Syria, Afghanistan, and Iran. They fled here looking for a better life, and …

Dispensationalism & Orthodoxy!
There are two distinct areas where dispensationalism, which is a theological system, diverges from orthodox New Testament Christianity.

The Reformed Baptism Form continues: "And to forsake the world." As the water of the flood separated the church from condemned humanity, as the Red Sea formed a barrier between Egypt and the covenantal people, as circumcision drew the line between Israel and the nations, so baptism draws the deciding borderline between the world and …
