Simply ChurchAt the beginning of October, Tony and I left for a five-week trip that included Turkey, the UK and India. What a privilege!! The first week was spent in Turkey near Antioch. Actually it was at Seleucia, which is the port from which Paul and Barnabus set sail on their first missionary trip. The jetty… Read More
Probably most of you reading this blog are familiar with the re-digging of the well concept, made famous recently from the “Healing Rooms” of John G. Lake. A ministry actually moved into the same offices in Spokane, WA used by Lake 80 years earlier. Today there are over 640 Healing Rooms world-wide! In a similar… Read More

Spontaneous expansion begins with the individual effort of the individual Christian to assist his fellow, when common experience, common difficulties, common toil have first brought the two together.

For some these ties will be just ignored or forgotten until they have passed… Read More
"Since the time of Socrates it has been an accepted part of Western wisdom that, in matters of social organization, it is necessary to know what is right before we can know what is wrong. Insofar as man is reasonable, the intelligent way to begin is to consider first the end. The only reason… Read More
