Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do that which is good in his sight. 1 Chronicles 19:13 God has called men to lead.  To lead their families, their church, and their communities.  But leadership requires courage, bravery, […]

With the political elections coming up, it seems that every politician is telling everyone everything they want to hear.  Many times, as Christians, we do the same thing.  We don’t speak the truth over fear of upsetting people and causing problems.  We become Christian politicians.

That number included all kinds of Baptists, fewer than half were Regular or mainline Baptists. And by the end of the century, Baptists had become the largest denomination in America, according to one […]

We believe in the ministry of the local church. Fact is that the term local church is redundant. It is our goal to see like minded churches started all over the world. Currently our 14 missionaries (all members of Vision Baptist Church) are aggressively being used to do that in several countries and around the […]
