"Body Talk" Series

Contributed by Bradley Boydston on Jan 29, 2002

Paul is trying to get his readers to take a holistic approach to faith and to recognize that we don’t just honor God with our words, or our songs, or attitudes, or our spirits – but honoring God also has to do with how we manage our bodies.

"Heavenly Hosts..." By Dr. Winson Butler

Contributed by Winson Butler on Jun 7, 2005

My uncle used to say, "Just because a man takes his boots off to go wadin’ don’t mean he plans to swim the Atlantic." That’s smart. When it comes to Angels my advice is study the Scriptures. Let’s examine it together!

Have you ever felt like someone was watching you from a distance? Maybe, standing over your shoulder? It wouldn’t be the first time and it won’t be the last! The longer I live, the more I’m convinced Angels surround us all. Some way they are involved in the turning of this world as well as ...read more

St Peter And Hans Christian Andersen
