Matthew 7:21 House – (Relationship)
St Augustine said, “In the essentials unity, in the non-essentials liberty, but in all things charity.” If you count the number of major, nationally recognized church denominations the number is estimated between 200 and 300. If you include independent and non-denominational groups the number may well exceed 1,000. That’s a lot of “liberty.” When it comes to the non-essentials of the Christian faith, we have a hard time getting along. I’ve seen churches split over everything from divine healing, to wearing high heels to church. Imagine the uproar in the congregation when the artist painted Adam and
The Matthew 7:21 House
As a new Christian, I found the study of the spiritual realm fascinating, and had a lot of questions needing to be answered. Can houses really be haunted?

To say he fell in love with this place, and Texas, is an understatement. Not long before he left, he was already making plans to return.
How Shall We Live?
While I'm no expert in eschatology (study of the end times), I enjoy listening to those who are. It seems many pieces of the larger puzzle are coming together, and we may well be living in the “last” of the last days. Personally I believe that to be true, but will also say this. I became a Christian in 1982, and remember people discussing the Antichrist, and wondered if he was living on the earth today. He was everything from Henry Kissinger to the Pope. False prophets making false profits by writing books predicting the year,
