If I Could Change Anything about the Modern Church

I have often been asked what I consider the greatest weakness of today’s church or what I would change about today’s church if I could.

But I also wouldn’t be completely shocked if it’s there somewhere and I’ve just missed it. And that’s because his life and ministry were powerfully unique in…
