    Paul tells us how we can function as the body of Christ and thus, present the likeness of Christ to a lost world.

From Paul’s discussion of how God sees His church as being like a body, we learn four things about how the body (the local church) is to function. ...read more

    The Heavenly Hierarchy

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Oct 3, 2015
     | 4,503 views

For example, in business there is either a board of directors or an owner or owners at the top, managers (if there are any) in the middle and workers at the bottom. In the school system, ...read more
