It is a phenomenon that is greater and more pervasive than alcoholism, drug, food, football and gambling addiction combined. If not so ...read more

    In our culture where the influence of the church is diminishing, why should we BE the church? The answer is found in the identity of Jesus and the promises he makes about the Kingdom he is establishing (the church).

That's more than 40,000 churches. At the turn of the 1900’s there were 27 churches to every 10,000 people. ...read more
