A Couple of Links on the Purpose of the Church
Byhenry February 8, 2011
A few days ago I posted a quote on the purpose of the church, particularly church growth, and between the comments to that post, Twitter, and my RSS reader, I’ve found a few to add to it. First, Jimmy Davis, a former student (for one year of Hebrew) and now an associate pastor in…
