    13, November 2005 Dakota Community Church Questions Do these quotes sound familiar? “Children should be seen and not heard.” “Because I’m your father and I said so; that’s why.” Most of us were raised with the idea that it is somehow wrong to question authority.

    based on 12 ratings
     | 3,299 views

    Unity In The Community

    Contributed by John Johnson on Nov 9, 2008
    based on 8 ratings
     | 21,729 views

    The greatest danger facing the church today is an attack on the authority of the Word of God. When the church comes together in unity, the spirit of God is poured out in abundance.

    The greatest danger facing the church today is an attack on the authority of the Word of God. There has become a gentle coldness and indifference to biblical truth and God’s standards of righteousness.

    The Lord has given us the authority to do His work through the power of the Holy Spirit. We are God’s vessels of hope for a hurting world.

    This was the first miracle of healing in the Book of Acts, and a first for the newborn church.
