    Reconstructive Surgery On The Body Of Christ

    Contributed by Russell Brownworth on Jan 22, 2007
    based on 4 ratings

    I believe today the church is more divided than at any time since the day of Pentecost when she had her birth. This is a sickness, and the patient is close to terminal!

    If I were allowed to be the one to make the choice of what the church, the entire body of Christ, should have as the main focus, I would choose surgery – reconstructive surgery to put the body back in a healing mode. I believe today the church is more divided than at any time since the day of ...read more
