New Book from Dr. PicirilliAre you excited about the promise of Christ’s return? Do differing interpretations on the timeline sometimes leave you feeling confused instead of inspired? Mere Eschatology invites you to explore the second coming of Jesus—a promise that resonates across denominations, beliefs, and theological nuances. This book takes a refreshing approach in a world where theological debates can sometimes overshadow our shared anticipation of Christ’s return. Rather than emphasizing our differences, it focuses on what unites us—the core truths we hold dear. Mere Eschatology offers readers a succinct overview of key aspects of the Second Coming. Gain a firm understanding of the essential New Testament teachings on this pivotal subject. ORDER HERE

Generation S Conference Announced
Join us May 11th at Camp Hope in Ewing, IL for the first Generation S Conference - the newest outreach of Master's Men!
Today, many young men are raised in single-parent homes or in homes where the fathers are busy working to support the family. With that in mind, the Generation S Conference will introduce young men (grade 6 – college) to basic life skills such as auto maintenance, carpentry and home repair, gun safety, and general health and hygiene. The conference is FREE to attend, but all participants must pre-register at https://www.fwbmastersmen.org/gens/.
