Dr. Ron Black

 Me and My House by Dr. Ron Black, Executive Director
      ay General Baptist homes follow Joshua's words, "...but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord" (Joshua 24:15b).		  
  For the "Next Feller" by Ted Elder
     Think about it. Not only are we blessed with good churches, but we also can dream of great future churches our children and communities can have. And we get to prepare them for it.
     Let's prepare for a great church, with all our ability, with all our might for the "next feller" and more importantly for an awesome, deserving, great God who loves us.		 Ted Elder
Pastor Galen Dennis and Family Focus on Cells by Pastor Galen Dennis
     The Journey is a restart church sponsored by General Baptists through National Missions. We are a bit different in our focus compared to the other planting projects sponsored by General Baptists.		  
  In Sickness and in Health by Pastor Ron Lowry
     Many things made me realize how important the relationship my wife, Sandra, and I share was, but this certainly was a test of how seriously she had taken the wedding vow "in sickness and in health."
     Time and space won't allow me to tell you all the ways Sandra showed me her love, not only for me but also for our heavenly Father. Both of us consider every day God gives us a gift, because I was given up on by man Oct. 10, 1999.

Pastor and Mrs Ron Lowry
Todd and Lana Luke Consequences of Choices by Todd Luke
     It is easier, and more rewarding, to make good choices first than to live with the consequences of bad choices.
     You are making the choice for the longest human relationship of your live when you choose whom you marry. There is no better relationship than to live in a marriage with the spouse God has chosen for you. Take time to consider your choice and seek His advice to make it a good one.		  
  Making Jill a Mother by Dianne Rasco
     Jill Roberts felt something was missing in her life.
     "That something," says Jill, "was being a mother."
     In adopting a baby girl from Guatemala, Jill says, "She is making me a mother, and that is a gift from God."

De Beaver Husband of Noble Character by De Beaver
      De Beaver does her own take on Proverbs 31.
