Romans 12: 4-5 There’s no mention of the church in the Old Testament and in fact, the word church is used rather infrequently in the New Testament. But the word “body” on the other hand is used often because it reflects what the church really is. Join Dr. James Boice as he explores the true identity of the church on The Bible Study Hour. [Part 7 in my mini-series on the intimate relationship between the Old and New Testaments; highlight points follow the video.]

How can I be victorious over my fear of sharing my faith? With Ray Comfort – Podcast Episode 203
This post contains the video of the Got Questions Podcast of today; it is an interview with Ray Comfort of Living Waters Ministries. He answered questions about how he shares the gospel.

If you have fear about witnessing or you just lack strategies, then you could benefit from hearing this podcast. Highlight points are below the video

Extremely valuable information to all Christians that may not have looked into the matter; as exercising it is necessary in the Christian fight of faith.
