    Individualism

    Contributed by Tim Smith on Jun 16, 2013
     | 5,093 views

    We have become captive to the idea that faith is a private matter. In effect, we have bought into society’s value of individualism. Individualism is leading life one’s own way with little to no regard or connection to others

After the crusade, the three pastors shared their experiences ...read more
