    Even if the future of the church in America looks like VERSES 1-3, God can still bring about VERSE 8.

[In fact let’s listen to them now.] First Stephen retells the story of the Jewish people and the members of ...read more

    As I’ve probably shared with you once before, I was tremendously challenged by a conversational exchange in a short-lived situation comedy.
