In his message to the Athenian elders concerning the true and living God, Paul shows us the characteristics of spiritual leadership in his application of responsibility and accountability for what is not just a teaching on God but a strategic plan in the invisible war between Almighty God and ...read more

An Altered Gospel Is Creeping Into The Church

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 1, 2019

I want you to listen to what he said. “I don’t beat nobody up for smoking, drinking and having sex and doing all that, not because I did it, but because I can relate. I can relate. If you ...read more
