    Called Out: The Role Of The Church

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 14, 2022
     | 1,937 views

    When we hear the word "church", most of us think of a building or membership in a particular denomination with standards, beliefs, and guidelines for worship, order, the reading and use of Scripture, and sermons. The problem is that far too many people now view the church as a symbol ...read more
