Advancing the Gospel of Christ

Support Southern Seminary and Boyce College this Year-End! In the 162-year history of Southern Seminary, more than 33,000 students have graduated and been sent out for ministry in the United States and across the world. Within my 27-year tenure as president, we have graduated more than 12,000 of those students.  Each graduate has a unique story and a unique calling to proclaim the message of Jesus Christ—graduates just like Joel Rosario. Hear his story in the video below.          We ask you to prayerfully consider making a year-end gift to support the students at Southern Seminary and Boyce College. As an expression of our appreciation, every contribution of $100 or more will receive my two-volume Acts for You commentary set (see below for more information). R. Albert Mohler, Jr. Acts For You Book Bundle There is no more thrilling part of the Bible than the book of Acts, and no better guide to it than Albert Mohler. The first volume takes in the ascension of Jesus, the coming of the Spirit, the birth of the Church, the start of persecution, the conversion of Saul, and the divine call to world-wide evangelism. The second volume takes in the missions, arrests, and court appearances of Paul; the meeting of the Council of Jerusalem; and the arrival of the church in Philippi, Athens, and Rome. If you want to be fueled for the Christian life and mission, you will want to read this book. Both volumes examine the book of Acts in an accessible, engaging, and applied way and can be read as a book, used as a devotional, and utilized in teaching and preaching. *You must select the book offer during the donation process.       Secure gifts can be made: 1.

I seek you, Lord, not perfection

The truly perfect Christmas is one spent enjoying Christ. The Perfect Christmas  Christina Vinson, 365 Devotions for Rest Remain in Me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me. — John 15:4    At Christmastime, there's just so much to do: picking out the perfect tree, finding the perfect gifts, hosting the perfect party, and planning the perfect Christmas meal. These are all wonderful things, but the quest for the perfect Christmas can turn overwhelming and stressful. Lay down your need for perfection. Remember that Christ came because we aren't perfect.     Odds are, there'll be a bare patch on your tree, a misplaced gift, and at least one mishap in the kitchen — and that's okay. You can rest knowing that you, your home, and your planning don't need to be perfect. The truly perfect Christmas is one spent enjoying the blessings of friends, family, and, above all, Christ. So sing the carols, delight in the lights, eat one more cookie, and give praise to the One who gives you reason to celebrate.     May my heart be full of joy, Lord Jesus, as I seek after You instead of perfection.     Excerpted with permission from 365 Devotions for Rest by Christina M. Vinson, copyright Zondervan.    Your Turn Without a doubt, this Christmas isn't going to be perfect. We probably can't all be together like we normally would be. Financially, we might not be able to afford what we used to be able to buy, wrap, and put under the tree. But, perfection isn't the goal anyway. Jesus is the center. He is the focus. He is the reason. We can rejoice in Him, right? Come share your Christmas joy with us, friends! We want to hear from you! ~ Laurie McClure, Faith.Full    Leave Comment Rest. Your body needs it.
