Zombie Christianity

Contributed by Charles Newman on Mar 16, 2009

A church that is spiritually dead can still hold services, sing hymns, offer prayers, deliver sermons, and do works of ministry – they can go through the motions of “doing church” but they will never be the church without being alive in God’s Holy Spirit!

The Traits Of Token Religion

Contributed by Donnie Martin on Jul 17, 2009
