The task of the church is too great for any one person to compass and too varied for the skill of any one person to accomplish. God has met this difficulty by dividing the task and giving to every man gifts that enable him to do his part. By distributing...

There is no question that we live in a broken world, a place where the word perfection is not often used to describe the state of affairs. Perfection is lost to us … lost, but still perceivable. We lost perfection with Eden, when the first garden dwellers ruined it for...

It is not a sin to be weak! But it is foolish to be weak alone when, through the commitment of other brothers or sisters, God has provided us with His love for our support. Christian maturity means coming to a place of acknowledging our weaknesses as an opportunity for...

One piece of evidence of kingdom life is that you will see more sin, not less. Outside the kingdom of heaven, there is no concern about sin. Unbelievers are indifferent to the fact that their sin is against God. When you are brought into the kingdom of light, you both...
