“The church has contributed nothing to civilization. It has progressed somewhat, and it has become a little more decent, in reflection of the movements of civilization that have taken place outside of the church and usually in the face of the strong opposition of the church.

The problem is your preaching style.” PeopleIfsNeedsProblemChurchSeeingStyleChangedQuietLife ChangingWord Of GodPreachingGodlyNeed A ChangeQuiet TimeYou Need To ChangeGodly Life Author:Bruce Wilkinson
