In a perfect world, when it comes to the Word of God there would be only black & white, right and wrong, truth or lie, every believer would be able to tell the difference. Unfortunately we live in a fallen world and due to the amount of publicity given to the all inclusive churches and the current crop of feel good pastors, God’s Truth gets twisted a bit.

Volunteers from First Baptist Church in Knoxville, TN helped Buckner International build the 2-bedroom, $15,000 house, the McAllen Monitor reports.
