    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

    This is a passage that is going to help us all to understand why our involvement in a local church is so important to our spiritual life.

    Conversion does not mean arrival. It signals the beginning of a journey of growth. We are to be like Christ, and this growth requires disciplines.
