WHAT IS A WINESKIN
by Kyle Byrd on December 15th, 2025
Practically speaking, a wineskin is a leather bottle used for holding wine. A "new" wineskin gives fermenting wine room to expand.

Trying to get a pastoral church to operate in a 5-fold administration is like trying to run Apple soft...  Read More
