Where should our focus be?

13Jan07

I have been reading Houses that changed the world the return of the house churches with mixed impressions.

05Jan07

Editor’s note: This arrived in my inbox and I had to share it with you all:

“Jesus says, ‘Ask and you will receive’. We’re very good at the asking part but how about the ‘receiving’? If we are the ones who are dong all the talking, it’s a pretty one-way conversation. Soaking is the [...]
