The Elders and Pastors of Omaha Bible Church met for our monthly board meeting. We opened in prayer and with thanksgiving for the work the Lord is doing at OBC.

The Puritans believed that God designed us for a specific end. Namely, to find pleasure in Him. This was apparent in the first question of the Westminster Shorter Catechism, "Q: what is the chief end of man? A: Man's chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy Him forever." George Swinnock was a puritan pastor born in 1627. He was a graduate of Cambridge and Oxford. He died...

God has been and continues to build His church and we are thankful to be part of His work at...

R C Sproul wrote this book as a practical guide for marr...

All our heroes have clay feet. The older I get the more I realize that is true. We tend to look up to those people who have great influence in our lives. When we are very young, it's our parents.
