It's just stunning to watch churches struggle to get mission statements when there it is, the Great Commission, and they should simply do what it says.

All of the spiritualities that are now clamoring for attention, from explicit Satanism to what we hear on Oprah, are concerned with the two issues of identity and empowerment. Who am I?
