Nothing Shall Offend Them

Very few have come to Christ only by reading the Bible. For most, God used other people, such as our parents or a pastor, to help us to understand the Bible and to trust what it says about salvation.

Pastor Joe Norvell guides young believers in evaluating what may cause them to sell out to the world rather than being completely sold out to God. He addresses the influence of right and wrong desires. What keeps you from having a perfect heart toward God?

Relationships do not need to be broken over every issue. Offenses (or just plain differences) should challenge both parties to desire the Word of God and study it together.

Without application doctrines can become mere philosophies, but without doctrine applications often becomes purposeless. From his unique standpoint as an IBLP alumnus and a pastor, Joe Norvell tries to bring clarity to the way doctrines and principles work together.
