    James 5 has a lot to say about the rich and the proper response to abuse by those who are powerful. His wise words are clear and firm, making the path of faith obvious. He pulls no punches.

    As Winston Churchill rallied the British people, so Paul rallies Christians by urging us to review our motivations and to present something solid and not merely entertaining. Such a church will prevail and thrive.

    On the fifth of June, 1940, not even a month after he became prime minister, Winston Churchill spoke to the British people to encourage them of their desperate situation. Bear in mind that in September of the previous year the Nazis had invaded Poland, with no effective resistance. Thereafter, ...read more

The church has fallen on ...read more
