Three Coins In The (Spirit) Fountain Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 28, 2007

When I look deep down and ask myself what I really want out of life, one answer keeps coming back over and over: I want meaning. I want significance. I want fulfillment. When I look deep down and ask myself what I really want for my life, I know that the accumulation of things is not it. These ...read more

Preach, Hear, Follow.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 21, 2013

We are in the business of winning followers to their Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It is not only Ministers who are called to evangelism, but all Christians. Having received the good news ourselves, our hearts yearn to share it with others.
