The Intimacy Factor

Mar 3rd, 2010 | By Shawn Landis | Category: Featured Articles, The Kingdom of God

I have been in countless church services throughout my life.  I grew up in the church.  Mainly, the ‘charismatic/Pentecostal’ circles.  So believe me when I say I have experienced many different things.  I’ve been on foreign missions trips and ministered in various churches in the region where I currently live (Charlotte, NC) and growing [...]

But have you seen the living God?
Have you found Him here?
Have you experienced holy [...]
