    No Desire To Attend Church

    StoveBolts: Why do we have to live in a perfect world for this to happen?(It is a rhetorical question.) But really, shouldn't this be the norm amongst believers? (Another rhetorical question.) This is what I desire to experience with other believers! Unfortunately, I have found this type of...

    There are three principal characteristics of Divine grace. First, it is eternal.

    Cigarette Smoking Christians

    I have been silently listening to this conversation amongst "believers" concerning cigarette smoking being "Sin"...it is incredible the way this one "thing" can bring such disagreement and judgment within the "Body of Christ". I want to make it plain to those who have been passionate about...
