The church in America is in decline because She has compromised grace and offers nothing more significant than Jesus eating apple pie and saluting the Red White and Blue.— J. R. Miller J.R. Miller

- Too Many Leaders?
In the church family, every follower of Jesus is a member, every member is a minister and every minister is a leader. The problem with my definition of functional leadership is that it cuts across the grain of common sense. We all know the old idiom, “too many chefs in the kitchen spoil the pot.” [...]
