    If we want to produce the fruit of the Spirit then we must be a "Holy Spirit tree".

    There is an unbroken spirit in the Church today that simply co-exists with lost humanity never reaching out to them with the message of Jesus.

If the world could ask of us some questions tonight I believe they would be: Do you still care ...read more
