    PORTRAIT OF THE CHURCH Some of you may ask why I titled this study on Corinthians “Preserving the Church in a Pagan World”. You may even object to the word “preserving” as sounding too much like maintaining or holding out against the world when the Church should be boldly invading our world. ...read more
