Contributed by Chris Appleby on Aug 7, 2008

the Church is a divinely instituted community with a task to carry out: to share the gospel with the world. If we’re to be a church that reaches people with the gospel we’ll need to be a church that not only receives the gospel but exemplifies it and then

They get depressed and they want to come to church for a “Fix” • A social club where they can socialize with ...read more

It has accurately been said that "love does not define God, but God defines love." Love in modern society bears no resemblance ...read more
