As we began, Vance Hutton asked each preacher and leader to share advice or bits of wisdom that they received that helps them in their ministry.

Christian? What or Who are They?
There is in our world what I call "Christian Confusion." If you read the papers and magazines or watch news outlets you get the idea that there are a variety of definitions or ideas concerning what or who is a Christian.

Why Do We Fight Each Other?
Many years ago, even before men like Thomas and Alexander Campbell, Barton W.
