The mind directs the body. It may do it on a subconscious or even unconscious level, but without signals from the brain, ...read more

    A Healthy Body So, how do you feel about your body? Strange question isn’t it? Most of us would rather not think about our bodies and if we do we probably don’t think very complementary things. It’s too fat or too skinny, too short or too tall. Bumpy, lumpy or just plain ugly ...read more

From Paul’s discussion of how God sees His church as being like a body, we learn four things about how the body (the local church) is to function. ...read more
