Larry L. Eubanks, First Baptist Church, Frederick, Maryland, April 10, 2016 Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, be subject to your husbands as you are to the Lord.

A few years ago I attended a pastor’s roundtable luncheon with about a dozen other pastors. We would meet 3-4 times a year, have fellowship, enjoy a nice meal in a private room at a nice restaurant, and then have a discussion on some topic related to the contemporary church. This particular luncheon was a...

I am a lifelong student of the Bible, and have been a pastor for over twenty-five years. My desire through this blog is to help people see things in the intersection of Scripture and real life that they might have missed.

I hope to treat Scripture with the respect it deserves, and, even if you don't agree with what I say, give you some insight.
