In the United States "individualism" has historically been one of the foundations of society. " John Locke (1632–1704) is among the most influential political philosophes of the modern period. In the Two Treatises of Government, he defended the claim that men are by nature free and equal against claims that God had made all people naturally subject to a monarch.

Greetings to you from church of Christ, Avanigedda. We hope and pray that you are all well and working happily for the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in His kingdom. We feel happy it is a great privilege to share our work with you dear brethren in Christ.
Brother, my name is M. Chandra Sekhar, serving the church of Christ at Avanigedda in Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh., and South India last 15 years. I thank God so much for He gives us a great privilege to preach and teach His word in our region. We receive good response from our people. God is continuously blessing our efforts.
Hey dad. Tom Medlin, our old preacher back in Princeton, just joined MON. Check out the latest members and drop him a line!
