    What Is Church?

    Contributed by Greg Nance on May 3, 2011
     | 6,164 views

Chapter 1 constitutes Part 1 of this book because it highlights the things which “have been.” Chapter 2 begins with the things which are. While we “THINK” it will be a good thing to get to the present-day ...read more

    There is probably no more appropriate book in the Bible to the western church than 1 Corinthians. The early church was by no means perfect. However that is no excuse for not living a life surrendered to the sanctifying work of Christ.
