Here are a few of the truths we all should be in agreement on as Christ followers… Romans 14:17 For the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Mark 12:28-31 One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that […]
The Call to Be the Body of Christ, Rather Than To “Attend” Something It has become more and more obvious to God’s Chosen, worldwide, that the typical expression of what is known as “church” has been influenced by the enemy, and through worldly culture.
