Let The Church Be The Church

Contributed by Chris Cuthbertson on Jun 6, 2024

God wants His church to grow and He commissioned us to evangelize, and if the church is doing its job it should grow, but numerical growth in itself is not evidence that God is blessing. It’s important to remember that the goal is to try to restore the church of the 1st century in its principles.

I want to share the questions asked of these preachers and then give you my answers to them. One of the questions he ...read more

If The Date Of Salvation Is Already Fixed By God, Then Why Should I Pray Ha

Contributed by Bala Samson on Jul 15, 2018

The idea, ‘God is anyway going to save the person only in His time’, takes the onus away from intense praying, wrestling in prayer for the unsaved person, intense fasting and also thereby takes away the guilt of prayerlessness.

If the date of salvation is already fixed by God, then why should I pray hard? Genesis 18:32 Then he said, "Oh may the Lord not be angry, and I shall speak only this once; suppose ten are found there?" And He said, "I will not destroy it on account of the ten." 19:24 Then the LORD rained on Sodom ...read more
