Author Ron Craig: God provided real solutions to real problems

Author and Pastor Ron Craig

 More Scriptures on the subject of the power the church has been given to solve many of the world’s problems. All problems stem from the fallen spiritual condition of this world and its inhabitants. World problems being essentially spiritual in nature, they can only be solved by the church’s spiritual weaponry! Almighty God provided REAL SOLUTIONS to the world’s REAL PROBLEMS ONLY through the church. NO other entity! Governments have NO solutions to the many and ever-growing problems of this earth. That is surely obvious. Money is definitely not the solution—more money in the world today than ever before, and more problems than ever before. Religion has not solved any of the world’s problems, but is actually one source of world problems—having become worldly itself! Only the real church (truly born-again believers empowered by the Holy Spirit) can deliver the goods. That is the GOOD NEWS of the Gospel!
