Stop building churches where there is already a good work in place! No need for fifteen churches of like faith within twenty miles of each other. We are wasting God's gifts and manpower and giving reason for the enemies of God to blaspheme.

Consider what has happened so far in the ministry of the Lord Jesus. These same religious leaders had seen the ...read more
