One-Leader Churches Are a Bad Idea by Max Aplin
In local churches today, there is usually one Christian who has a unique level of authority and who does most of the teaching.

Pray For Your Pastor by Ruthie Alekseeva
A celebrity recounts in her autobiography that after her second husband proposed, she hoped she could marry at a pretty, little church in Darling Point, Sydney, but while discussing the wedding arrangements with the church minister, her plans fell through because the minister felt uncomfortable about marrying a couple whose first marriages had both ended in divorce.

Christians have different views about how we should interpret the Bible passages regarding divorce and remarriage, but we must pray for our pastors when they find themselves in such situations, especially when they are dealing with non-Christians.

Are You Being Oppressed At Your Church? -- Part II by Tonja Taylor
Where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is freedom, and no condemnation. "Freedom" means many things.

Are You Being Oppressed At Your Church? - PART 1 by Tonja Taylor
"Church" to most of us means a body of Believers in the LORD Jesus Christ, which meets regularly.

Sometimes, God will move us to a different church, where true freedom and fulfilment of His Plan will more fully occur!
