    Hard And Bitter Truths

     | 274 views

    The church as an agent of moral and spiritual transformation is becoming lukewarm. Hard and bitter truths are no longer preached in many churches. The church must wake up and once again shake the world like the days of the Apostles.

It's like waking up to a whole new level of reality, a spiritual one. To see God's kingdom, you have to be born ...read more
