What Does It Mean That Our Body Is The Temple?

The 7 Ways Jesus Suffered For Our Sin

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 11, 2023

Have We Lost Our Churches To Worldliness? Series

Contributed by Eric Agyei Febiri on May 18, 2023

Churches are expected to guide and form the conscience of society and people by pointing out the truth without fear or favour. Some of our churches today however, have lost their moral authority to the world because of power, fame, and money by their leaders.

Morality is now measured by the votes of the Senate and the Parliament, and not the individual conscience. Civil authorities and those in power now vote to decide what is sin and what is not sin, what is lawful and what is unlawful. And this has now crept into our Churches, but Church leaders ...read more
