"We Minister And Belong To One Another”

Contributed by Barnabas Park on Jan 17, 2021

The Church is the family of God. Each member ministers to one another and belongs to one another. But, if members overestimate themselves, they would damage the church and church ministry rather than edify. God called us as church to practice the love of God among ourselves and to the world.
