    Churches are too often controlled by immature Christians. Though they think themselves to be mature and godly, they are destructive and harmful. Christians need to work at maturing in Christ to ensure that He is honoured through the Body of Christ.

And this we will do if ...read more

Those who say that the Bible portrays women as subservient to men have never read the Bible or don't know anything about it; otherwise, they ...read more
