Spiritual Gifts In The Church
The body of Christ cannot function effectively without the proper operation of spiritual gifts in the church. There is a sharp controversy about the gifts of the spirit and the initial evidence of being filled with the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

The Lord has poured out his spirit upon millions of souls worldwide, across all denominational boundaries. The problem is the lack of the functionality of these spiritual gifts in the church.
The Church and TechnologyHow can the church use technology today, save money, and use this as a tool in the Great Commission of saving souls? By utilizing open source software is one way.

By combining it all together, your church can benefit with specialty equipment, customized software, training, while keeping the costs down to a fraction of what it would be with commercially available solutions.

Paganism Lessons, Day 1 – Welcoming the SunOne of the easiest things you can do on your entire spiritual path is also one of the most effective.
