According to the Scriptures the church is the habitation of God through the Spirit, and as such is the most important organism beneath the sun. She is not one more good institution along with the home, the state, and the school; she is the most vital of all institutions—the only one that can claim a …
The Most Misunderstood Parable (Luke 10:30–37) Parables are really the most direct connection with our Lord revealing truth to His disciples and hiding it from His rejecters.
