"We Minister And Belong To One Another”

Contributed by Barnabas Park on Jan 17, 2021

The Church is the family of God. Each member ministers to one another and belongs to one another. But, if members overestimate themselves, they would damage the church and church ministry rather than edify. God called us as church to practice the love of God among ourselves and to the world.

God's Will Versus Our Will

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 25, 2021

Do we have ANY choice or is every aspect of our lives already been predetermined by God? Does God choose us even if we don’t want Him to? Does God choose some people but not others? How can you know what God’s will and purposes are?
