    The church is not like the world. Christians should treat each other different the worldly people treat each other.

The churches today act a lot like that. People use the same rules and actions in the church as they do in the political world. My ...read more

Pride is considered a virtue by many. Humility, on the other hand, is considered a weakness. Everyone, it ...read more
