Jeff Geyer
Hebrews 10:23-25; Colossians 3:16

This has just been an observation but those who are less and less in community are the ones who seem to experience more and more chaos in their life. 17% of all practicing Christians who have stopped attending online say they feel bored ''all of the time'' 11% of all practicing Christians who have stopped attending online say they fee ...
