Today’s topics are the Fear of the Lord, Trust in [...]
A few months back, the Christian Chronicle featured an editorial entitled, “Will Facebook kill the church?”. As a member of the church myself, I felt that the author of the article did not really grasp what the “church” really is and should be.
