We had the pastor of a church we support in Slovakia speak at our church a couple of weeks ago. He spoke as his assitant pastor translated to English.
I told my wife that I realized the future of the Christian church does not lie within the American borders.
The future of the Church of Christ has never, ever, ever been within America's borders.
The future of the Church has always been in the Will of God, from everlasting to everlasting.
