Welcome to a delightful series of letters that will take you on a one-of-a-kind and light- hearted journey through various aspects of the Christian faith. These letters are not intended to be bible-bashing or to overwhelm you with a lifetime\’s worth of theological discourse. Instead, they seek to gently guide you, sharing insights and truths while remaining sensitive to the Holy Spirit\’s leading in your life.
Christianity, you see, is more than just a set of rules or dogmas to be imposed on others. It is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and each person\’s relationship is unique. We believe in the Great Commission, the call to go and make disciples of all nations, but we also recognise that this is a deeply personal journey of faith. #brendonnaicker #heavenly #heavenlyinbox #theologyschool #dearfriend #letters #christianity #christian #discipleship #biblestudy Heavenly Inbox https://amzn.eu/d/24jzR43

The church is not trapped by the physical buildings that Helena started, but rather has continued to develop and adapt to new cultural and historical contexts.
