It’s always refreshing to hear the Truth True saints can’t put up with the “sacred cow” for long. They know they must sacrifice that deadly thing or remain plugged-in to the lie. Easier said than done for some, but always worth it!

After years of banging our heads against the walls of the building-mentality, we finally moved from the traditional to the “house congregation” model. We’ve done away with pulpits and pews. Teaching is done in a guided dialog style and everyone is an active participant in both worship AND ministry outside of the “gathering of the saints.”It’s a beautiful thing when the body actually functions as a body.
