Endeavoring To Keep The Unity

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 16, 2022

“The nearest thing to heaven on this earth is a church full of people who love the Lord, and each other.” I believe we all will concur with that statement.

Contributed by Rich Anderson on Feb 14, 2011

It has been said that “Joy is the surest sign of the presence of God.” Or it has been said that “Joy is the flag that flies over the castle of our hearts announcing that the King is in residence today!”
