All are forgiven so we can start again. Forgiveness is not an easy word to say. There is cost to forgiveness. Forgiveness without addressing cause of problems might lead to further problems. Forgiveness is an awesome concept. It will never be an option when both parties are locked in their…
It might be an alarming sight if you go to your church and find that on the entrance is a notice to say your church is closed but proceed to a certain address to find the same activities taking place there. A change of venue does not happen in some…
