Most lessons in stewardship are more easily identified than taught—or learned. The February-March 2014 issue of ONE Magazine delves into this tough topic. From financial faithfulness and a proper view of possessions to giving generously and embracing contentment, we are reminded that stewardship takes a lifetime to master.

The 2014 National Association of Free Will Baptists will be held July 27-30 at the Fort Worth Convention Center, 1201 Houston Street, Fort Worth, Texas. Please note the later dates for the convention. The convention is traditionally held the third full week of July. However, during negotiations with Fort Worth in 2004, those dates were unavailable, and the convention was moved to the following week.

Take a Walk Through History
What do you really know about Free Will Baptists? Perhaps you have heard the word Baptist all your life without stopping to consider where the name came from. Maybe you didn't realize there are dozens of Baptist groups: Missionary Baptists, Primitive Baptists, American Baptists, Independent Baptists, General Baptists, Regular Baptists, and more.
Photo: Built in 1820-21, the Church on the Ridge is an iconic structure. The oldest standing Free Will Baptist church structure, it was built by the congregation in New Durham, New Hampshire.
And why would one group of Baptists add "Free Will" to the front of their name? How are they different from more than 20 other Baptist groups? The Free Will Baptists in the South began in 1727, making this one of the oldest Baptist groups in the United States. For more than 250 years, Free Will Baptist churches have contributed to the moral and spiritual fibre of our nation. Would you like to know more?
