The Ministry Of Praise And Worship From Genesis To Revelations

Contributed by Maria Saunders on Nov 20, 2018

Today’s trend (fad) is men exposing their bottoms and women revealing their tops. However, the ministry of Praise and Worship isn’t new fad for today’s 21st century church.

Live As Free People

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 29, 2013

Anticipating Canada Day [and Independence Day], I invite the people of God to think what it means to live as "free people."
