    The Issue: “Few will choose to totally dismiss the Bible and believe instead in The Da Vinci Code; there is a greater danger, though, of many choosing to believe both the Bible and The Da Vinci Code.” - I imagine that relatively few people will choose, after having read The Da Vinci Code, to ...read more

    based on 15 ratings
     | 4,137 views

    - Worship is supposed to be spiritual (John 4:23-24), but that spiritual worship, if real, is undoubtedly going to express itself physically. Some people think that what we do or don’t do with our bodies during worship doesn’t really matter, but that’s just not true. - Ex. Your kid does ...read more
