What Exactly Is A "Layman?"

Contributed by Mark H. Stevens Thd on Jan 24, 2014

The Church is very ineffective because it is Clergy Driven and not driven by ALL believers with a passion for souls!

One problem I have found in the modern church is that we have made the church a CLERGY run entity. God meant the church to be driven by ALL of the saints. We are a body of BELIEVERS and BELIEVERS are supposed to CAST OUT DEVILS, PREACH THE GOSPEL, and LAY HANDS on the sick. (James 5:16 and Mark ...read more

Lessons In Apologetics #6: Pantheism

Contributed by Frederick Meekins on Mar 3, 2011

As a worldview, Pantheism has plagued the religious thought of both the East and West from ancient times on up through our contemporary day.
