Are You A Church Builder?

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 16, 2021

Sometimes we like to leave church-building work to the experts. We leave the physical aspects of the ...read more

The Struggle With Stress Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 26, 2021

The fact that some stress is inevitable does not justify preventable stress. Paul said in Rom. 12:18, "If possible, so far as it depends upon you, live peaceably with all." The implication is clear: A peace maker can prevent a lot of stress in life if they really work at it.
