    At times the church can be focused on too many "issues" and its desire to prove itself right. But what should we really be focused on? What is The Real Issue?

    In the Discipline of service there is also great liberty. Service allows us to say ’no!’ to the world’s games of promotion and authority. It abolishes our need and desire for a ’pecking order’

Our example in all things is the Lord Jesus himself The servant is not greater than his ...read more

When they said, “grace and peace” these Biblical writers were not merely using a polite form of words to ...read more
