    When Paul and John Mark had a falling out, the dispute was so sharp that each man took a new assistant and traveled in a different direction; Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus, and Paul chose Silas and departed for Cilicia.

    With the current generation and its notion to question everything including the existence of God, we need to FRESHEN up our Bible Knowledge for the LORD told us that it would be profitable for teaching and defending

    Many nowadays would tell you that CHURCHES are a thing of the past; and that they are OBSOLETE; that they have outlived their purpose. Let us read from Hebrews before we go any further.
