“Grief which is not dealt with properly can cause us to lose our perspective on life.”

“A survey reported that the majority of the seminaries [in the United States] had no classes on prayer. That really shouldn’t surprise us when we consider how many local churches offer classes on gardening and the “Art of Conversation” instead of the study of God’s Word and prayer.”

and is not suffering reproach, then it is not the true church that our Lord founded.”
