Have We Lost Our Churches To Worldliness? Series

Contributed by Eric Agyei Febiri on May 18, 2023

Morality is now measured by the votes of the Senate and the Parliament, and not the individual conscience. Civil authorities and those in power now vote to decide what is sin and what is not sin, what is lawful and what is unlawful. And this has now crept into our Churches, but Church leaders ...read more
