How Shall We Then Live?
Eric Hoffer (1902-), "When freedom destroys order, the yearning for order will destroy freedom." At that point the words left or right will make no diference. They are only two roads to the same end. There is no difference between an authoritarian government from the right or the left: the results are the same. An elite, an authoritarianism as such, will gradually force form on society so that it will not go on to chaos. And most people will accept it-from the desire for personal peace and affluence, from apathy, and from the yearning for order to assure the functioning of some political system, business, and the affairs of daily life. That is just what Rome did with Caesar Augustus.

International Bible Conference, in Partnership with CenterPoint International, Liberia
Thanks to all the thousands of Pastors who attended the Pastor's conference in Bomi Hills Feb 19-22. Thanks to Pastors' Jeff, Dan A, and Dan M for their Expository teaching of these Pastors from the book of Titus. I will be sharing some of these photos of the conference as I slowly overcome my jet lagged. Thanks for visiting the site, praying and giving to the work in Africa. We covet your prayers for the coming months and years as we plan to equip, and spiritually arm our Pastors with God's word. We covet your prayers as you agonize with us on bended kneels as we change and influence our culture one verse at a time. Your partnership is greatly appreciated.
