Katrina Evangelism

Thought for the day.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could so paint a picture of God’s love and our need of it that our church people could pour their hearts out for people’s salvation as easily as they do for a disaster like Katrina?
I’m not […]
Most church leaders don’t think of leadership in terms of levels. We tend to think more of finding volunteers or even servants.
