Give More Than Money Series

Contributed by Jack Allen on Jun 12, 2001

While I do not see much of this directed at the church, too many parents seem to confuse money with love.

Yet, neither seems to be a very safe place to find love today. Families break apart and church people gossip. Little sense of ...read more

More Than Enough Church Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 24, 2005

Many churches function on a "survival mode" mentality, rather than a faith based plan. How can you tell the difference?
