Shall we turn in our Bibles to 1 Corinthians 12? Paul is describing the gifts of the Holy Spirit as they operate within the church. He then likens it to a body, which is one, and yet has many members or many parts. Although there are many parts, it is only one body. So also is Christ. For by the one... Read More
"It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good." (Galatians 4:18) Zeal is a subject, like many others in religion, which is sadly misunderstood.
