    Contributed by Kayode Omotoso on Nov 15, 2014
     | 5,223 views

    Sometimes ago, I did a write up on the subject "Crisis in Christ". It borders on the competition and irreconcilable difference among the supposed believers in Christ and the different denominations they belong to. There appears not to be an end to the war tearing the body of Christ apart. Today, ...read more
