– What are some guardrails churches can employ in supplying benevolence for outside requests?
– Is it okay to observe communion at weddings or Christian conferences?
– Is planting churches to reach college campuses like planting "cowboy churches?"

How does God's Word impact our prayers?
God invites His children to talk with Him, yet our prayers often become repetitive and stale. How do we have a real conversation with God? How do we come to know Him so that we may pray for His will as our own?
In the Bible, God speaks to us as His children and gives us words for prayer—to praise Him, confess our sins, and request His help in our lives.
We’re giving away a free eBook copy of Praying the Bible, where Donald S. Whitney offers practical insight to help Christians talk to God with the words of Scripture.
