Music therapy is used by hospice and palliative care board-certified music therapist Max Lerman to ...read more

    Have We Lost Our Churches To Worldliness? Series

    Contributed by Eric Agyei Febiri on May 18, 2023
     | 1,531 views

    Churches are expected to guide and form the conscience of society and people by pointing out the truth without fear or favour. Some of our churches today however, have lost their moral authority to the world because of power, fame, and money by their leaders.

And this has now crept into our Churches, but Church leaders ...read more
