In recent editions of Gospel Gazette Online, we have devoted most of the pages to a single writer. In this way, we have been highlighting for our readers some of the excellent fruits of the Bible studies by some of our longtime writers. This month and for the inaugural issue kicking off our 17th year of continuous publication, we are delighted to feature the literary work of brother Mark N. Posey.

Brother Posey has served as the Pulpit Minister at Austinville Church of Christ in Decatur, AL since 1994. He has degrees from Freed-Hardeman University, Lipscomb University and Reformed Seminary. While at FHU, brother Mark was the recipient of the Guy N. Woods scholarship for preaching. He has taught college level Bible courses at Bear Valley Bible Institute, International Christian College and Faulkner University. Brother Posey has done mission work in the Caribbean Islands and Eastern Europe, and he does extensive teaching and preaching in Ukraine each year. He publishes a religious periodical for preachers entitled Pulpit Preview. Mark Posey preaches in four to six Gospel meetings annually and speaks on brotherhood lectureships and seminars. He is the co-director for Morgan County week at Maywood Christian Camp in Hamilton, AL and serves on its advisory board. He was named after the late Gus Nichols (Mark Nichols Posey) while his parents worked with the Sixth Avenue Church of Christ in Jasper, AL during the 1960’s. Brother Posey works closely with the Lads to Leaders program. He preached his first gospel sermon at the age of 14 and was born and raised in North Alabama. Mark and his wife Pauli have two college-age children.
