    The Bible tells us to stay strong in our faith and to always meet together as a church. But when we look around, it seems that more and more people are leaving the church. Why? This passage of Scripture explains the reason.

    In Hebrews 10:23-25, we read, “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one ...read more

    The work of Christ is not complete until we fill in the blanks of justice not yet done, kindness not yet given, and witness not yet shared. He wants our very cores.
