Flashback: Is Your Church Christian or Christianish?

There is nothing in all the world as precious as a truly Christian church. There is nothing in all the world as dangerous as one that is merely Christianish. Choose your church well.

When our lives are united to Christ through faith, we have the assurance that our best days are always ahead of us and never behind us.
