The Church

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Mar 16, 2006

Had the church been built upon any other person than Christ, it would never be able to withstand the torment of Hades. It is not one of the wonders of this world - it is THE wonder of this world.

A huge metal structure was built in 1889 for an international exposition. It was larger than anything that was built like it before, and it was considered by many as a ‘monstrosity that was to grotesque to see.’ But the creator, who had spent over a year building it, knew it was destined for ...read more
