Faith that Thrives: Should Church be at the Core?
Should church be at the core of a faith that thrives? To be honest, I have answered both yes and no at different points in my life. How about you? Our choices are rarely clear to us until they are challenged. For many of us, Biblical and meaningful membership of a local church can be…
