Parish Life

Posted on Saturday, February 5, 2011Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

INTRODUCTION:Over the years, we have seen many believers move here to the Palouse, and we have been greatly blessed by this. The reasons have obviously varied, but in countless conversations I have been a part of, the word that comes up over and over and over again is the word community. There is a reason …

Hobbled by Human Inability

Posted on Friday, February 4, 2011Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“We must live with the painful possibility that the results produced by the Spirit may not be satisfying to us. Here, again, is the occupational vulnerability of preaching.

As In, No Showboating

Posted on Tuesday, February 1, 2011Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“This is not to diminish giftedness. This is not to justify indolence. This is not an excuse for a lack of exactness. It is to say that a preacher ought never to preach in a manner that consciously draws attention to himself” (Azurdia, Spirit Empowered Preaching, p. 91).

Parenting Young People II

Posted on Saturday, January 29, 2011Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson
