Book cover for Black Church Beginnings: The Long-Hidden Realities of the First Years
congregations are the main concern of this church history. It is primarily the story of churches as local congregations and spiritual families, and then as members of denominations and other groupings.

Oliver D. Crisp
“Theology that steps back in time only to hide there from the problems to be faced in the present ends up hidebound and moribund. Or, worse, it becomes an empty scholasticism that refuses to attend to the needs of the present, accepting only what has been hallowed by time and use, as if it is sufficient to look backward without looking forward.”
Oliver D. Crisp, Christology, Ancient and Modern: Explorations in Constructive Dogmatics

Paul David Tripp
“When you think your job is to change your child and you’ve been given the power to do it, your parenting will tend to be demanding , aggressive, threatening, and focused on rules and punishments. In this kind of parenting you are working to make your children into something rather than working to help them to see something and seek something. In this form of parenting, it is all about you and your children, rather than you being an agent of what only God can do in your children. Your hope is that you will exercise the right power, at the right time, and in the right way so change in your children will result. That process is profoundly different than working to be a useful tool in the hands of a God of glorious transforming grace, who alone is your hope and the hope of your children.”
Paul David Tripp, Parenting: 14 Gospel Principles That Can Radically Change Your Family

Paul David Tripp
“If rules and regulations had the power to change the heart and life of your child , rescuing your child from himself and giving him a heart of submission and faith, Jesus would have never needed to come!”
Paul David Tripp, Parenting: 14 Gospel Principles That Can Radically Change Your Family

George MacDonald
“A man may sink by such slow degrees that, long after he is a devil, he may go on being a good churchman or a good dissenter and thinking himself a good Christian.”
George MacDonald, An Anthology: 365 Readings

Paul David Tripp
“I propose that so much of what drives our responses to our kids is an unannounced set of laws that are more about what we want for ourselves and our lives than what God wants for and from our children. In our allegiance to our law, we end up breaking God’s law in our interactions with our children. In this way we are just like our children: people who need to be rescued from ourselves.”
Paul David Tripp, Parenting: 14 Gospel Principles That Can Radically Change Your Family
