Pilgrim's Progress Today believes every Christian is given unique spiritual gifts and wisdom through the power of the Holy Spirit to perform specific tasks to fulfill God's purposes . We welcome comments that are spoken in Truth and Love that help build up the Body of Christ.

"Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of Him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work." (Ephesians 4:15-16)

We also welcome comments from non-believers on the condition that they are written in a respectful and courteous manner.
