The Tragedy of Lost Opportunity
The Bible first and foremost is doctrinal because it’s given by inspiration of God; however, it is also historical because it tells of things that really happened in the history of man. The book of Acts is full of both doctrine and history. Acts 24 is the story of a man named Felix. Felix was… Continue reading The Tragedy of Lost Opportunity
Control

Thoughts on What is RIGHT with the Church

The word “church” comes from the Greek word ekklesia which is defined as “an assembly” or… Continue reading Thoughts on What is RIGHT with the Church
