Why We Are Here

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 10, 2021

I read an article recently about church planting and the author talked about all of the humanitarian things that result from doing so. It got me to thinking: is church planting what Jesus really wants if it’s going to following the humanitarian model?

Well, at least not directly. I’m talking about why those of us who call ourselves Christian, who are born again and ...read more

Abraham’s Faithful Work! Series
