HELENA, Mont. (NAMB)–Dave Howeth rolls on down the two-lane highway in his blue Buick. While the terrain in front of him is flat for miles and miles, always off in the distance are the snow-covered mountains of southwest Montana.

JACKSONVILLE (FBC)–The obligation and joy that comes in serving as a witness for Christ will be the focus of the 2006 Celebration of Missions Conference April 21-22 at First Baptist Church, Ft. Walton Beach.

GRACEVILLE (FBW)–In 2005, Time magazine named Dan Brown one of the 100 most influential people in the world. Dan Brown has risen from college professor of English at Amherst College to an international personality because of a series of best-selling books.

For instance, evolutionists insist that intelligent design be removed from the equation before figuring commences on the question of origins. Approaching the question of origins with the preconceived conviction that no Creator exists is considered good science, while approaching the question with common sense – creation is inexplicable apart from a Creator – is considered religious superstition and immediately dismissed as unscientific.

DAYTONA BEACH (BP)–Light comes to Herb Crowther’s day long before dawn – he gets up around 4:30 and starts praying shortly thereafter. By 8 o’clock, he and Mickey, his wife, have eaten their breakfast and are sitting together, looking over several prayer lists, trying to wear out their third copy of Oswald Chambers’ My Utmost for His Highest, reading Scripture and praying. The couple, members of First Baptist Church in Daytona Beach., has done this for decades.

GREENSBORO, N.C. (BP)–SBC President Bobby Welch has named three Florida pastors as members of the Resolutions Committee who will serve during the June 13-14 Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting in Greensboro, N.C.

JUPITER (FBW)–Church leaders in Palm Beach County see a proposed amendment to land development codes as “an assault on church growth,” according to Steve Stewart, pastor of Church in the Farms in Jupiter, a Southern Baptist Church.
