                    Malachi 3:2-3 says, “But who can endure the day of His coming? And who will be able to stand when He appears? For He will be like a refiner’s fire and like cleansing lye. 3 He will be like a refiner and purifier of silver…”
A certain woman read this verse and was intrigued by the phrase “He will

This verse puzzled the women and they wondered how this statement applied to the

Research that shows the more friendships a person has in a congregation, the less likely they are to become inactive or leave.  I once read about a survey of 400 church drop-outs who were asked why they left their churches.  Over 75% of the respondents said, “I
