“Regular Baptist Ministries continues to invest time, money, prayer, and effort in helping churches to be healthy,” says David Strope, interim national representative.

Two of those investments are the GARBC Retirement Plan and the GARBC Conference. This summer, the conference speakers encouraged churches and their members to make disciples.

Making disciples of every nation is our mandate, “our marching orders” from Jesus Christ, David says. Should we take that mandate literally? Yes. Three articles in this issue explain that we should interpret Scripture literally whenever possible.

Make no mistake: Hermeneutics—the method of interpreting Scripture—matters.
