    Give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. (Proverbs 30:8) One of the most difficult questions facing Christians today is that of the proper attitude toward possessions.

    Redeeming Creation

    The Biblical Basis for Environmental Stewardship

    by Fred H. Van Dyke, David C. Mahan, Joseph K. Sheldon, and Raymond H. Brand

    "Preeeeep." The sound of the peepers, tiny frogs an inch or two long, penetrated the dusk.

He considers the strengths ...

Friends sprinting across the city looking for family. Churches--including one Kent ...
