“The Sword of the Lord" Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts Many of us are familiar with the management concept of downsizing—we’re told to “do more with less”.

We are in a battle. The church is an army, not a hospital, and we signed up for a battle-ship not a cruise liner. But how can we win in the battle of life and faith? This passage shows how.

Winning the war Mk5:1-20 WBC 31/08/03pm I think we forget what a battle the Christian faith is! - join up for this luxury cruiser that will take us to heaven - find it’s a sleek battleship and - God isn’t particularly sympathetic when we say we don’t like the ‘heat of the day’… battle To ...read more

Go Thy Way: The Centurion’s Faith Series

Contributed by Winson Butler on Jan 18, 2005
