Church Member or Christ Worshipper? From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure […]
“Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life.”John 6:68Men and women attend churches for many reasons. To some, the local church is nothing more than a social club, where its members are kept busy with activities that make them feel as though they are doing something profitable for God. To […]
