The Future of the Church of God In Christ

While many may raise question as to the future of the Church of God In Christ there are many who still believe thatthis church has really just begun to start making a major impact on the world. With the loss of one of the greatest leaders of any denomination oin Christendom, one might assume that the cogic is in great dilemna and despair. The opposite is true however. With great leaders at the helm with names like Bishop Charles E. Blake, Bishop W.W. Hamilton, Bishop J.W. Macklin, and Bishop J.N. Haynes to name a few; this church is positioned for great success. One must only continue to look up and realize that what the Lord does is purpose and destiny driven. God never makes mistakes and will accomplish all that was set to be completed. Let's stand together and salute the great leaders of the Churches of God in Christ and endeavor to build and strengthen one another with the pormises of the word of God. We can , we shall, we will, we must not just survive but win!!
