Yuck: The Lukewarm Church Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Apr 7, 2018

Christ delivers a message to those who are Christian in name only. Being neither zealous for good works nor orthodox in their doctrine, they are lukewarm and sickening to Christ.

George Barna makes a living through surveys. What makes him unique is that his surveys are on exclusively Christian topics.

And They Said Nothing To Anyone

Contributed by Alvin Hathaway, Sr. on Mar 22, 2009

Your past, your problem or perception should never hinder you from telling the story of God loves and Jesus’ saving power.
