The Mathematics Of The Christian Life

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 14, 2021

Many people take great delight in trying out different restaurants in town. Sometimes you can hear folks around church saying, "Let's get together, I have found a G-R-E-A-T restaurant!”

When a church preaches and teaches the Word of God, people who are hungry for God’s Word, will be there every time the ...read more

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 4, 2021
