Another great article from Montgomery, Alabama

When I read this thoughtful, careful, encouraging article on understanding justification and sanctification and discovered it came from Montgomery, Alabama, I assumed it must have been the author of the stimulating article on creation and evolution.

The first article was by Alan Cross, of Gateway Baptist Church, who blogs at Downshore Drift

The second was by Tom Hicks, pastor at Morningview Baptist Church.
