Send a Revival
My nation, the USA, and the church in my nation are in great need of revival. Much of today’s evangelical church is one with the world, operates like big business, and follows the teachings of men and Marketing 101 over and above Scriptures, regarding how to conduct and to grow God’s church. This should not … Continue reading Send a Revival
