By Ken Blue Some churches have little trouble gaining members. They are diligently spreading the gospel, and people are obedient to the Lord. However, most churches have trouble keeping members. They lose them about as fast as they get them. It is a fact that many churches cannot break the “75 barrier” or the “200 [...]

By Ken Blue “…See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount. Hebrews 8:5. Policies are usually written orders or directions made to regulate the practice or the actions of people. Procedures describe a particular way of accomplishing something or of acting.
