BUT … I had to ask myself, “What does SUCCESSFUL mean?” You want to be a “successful” parent … RIGHT? (our series on Sunday nights) What does that mean? Does it mean ...read more

    A Dirty Little Secret About The Church

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 29, 2015
     | 7,917 views

    Churches are too often controlled by immature Christians. Though they think themselves to be mature and godly, they are destructive and harmful. Christians need to work at maturing in Christ to ensure that He is honoured through the Body of Christ.

    “Let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. And this we will do if ...read more
