    Paul has already dealt with divisions in the church. Now he has to deal with the issue of immorality. Many were being seduced by “the spirit of the age”. Note what Paul has to say. It is still a timely word for us today.

As far back as April 15, 1993 USA Today reported that the average American man under age 40 has had seven sexual partners in his life. Paul has already dealt with ...read more

    The enemy has used divide and conquer to split the Church/Body and he is doing it well.

    "Division is devastating to effectiveness." Tim Dilena. Division in the Body has possibly done more damage to Western Christianity than heresy. That said, we cannot unite around anything but truth. Ten churches of like faith in a town or even ten miles away are a bar to ...read more

    Stop building churches where there is already a good work in place! No need for fifteen churches of like faith within twenty miles of each other. We are wasting God's gifts and manpower and giving reason for the enemies of God to blaspheme.

    An email was promoting a church growth conference aka multiplication. I think it is fairly evident why we have an issue. You cannot have multiplication until we cease division that comes from addition of fleshly efforts that subtracts from the testimony of the Lord causing the wrong answer to the ...read more
