    Discussion Knowing - How Can We Explain It?

    You know that ongoing argument about emotions and intellect - how some people say we should not trust emotions because they mislead while others say that intellect is unspiritual? I feel that the resolution of what I believe is this false polarity is that both sides are right. We are to know...

    Fellowship How do Spirit-filled Charismatic believers prefer to take communion?
