    Is our Christian witness putting some people to sleep? There is a world all around us that has fallen asleep concerning the things of God. They have fallen asleep when it comes to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Some of them are even in Christ’s church.

Inside, he noticed a harmless old hound dog asleep on the floor near the cash register. He asked the store's owner "Is that ...read more

    The early church "gathered together to break bread." Why was this activity so critical to them and what can it mean to us?

    OPEN: There’s an old saying: “An army marches on… (its stomach).” What that means is: if an army doesn’t feed its men it’s not going anywhere.
