What's This Evangelism All About? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 5, 2016

Body Language Series

Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Aug 11, 2009

The Bible speaks of the church as the Body of Christ for a reason, but most believers fail to celebrate their unique place in the body.

The ancient Romans had an aphorism that went “Mens sana in corpore sanos.” It means, “A healthy mind in a healthy body.” The ancients were quite correct that the two go together. The mind directs the body. It may do it on a subconscious or even unconscious level, but without signals from the brain, ...read more
