The Proposal Before the Covenant – Winning the Heart of a Bride

One of the largest lessons that I have learned is that the relationship between humanity and Christ is very similar to the relationship with a bride and groom. We can … Continue reading
Portrait of a Healthy Church
One of the questions that I have received often was one that I had myself early in my faith. How do I choose a church and what are the traits/portrait of a healthy church?
