a couple of browser display problems:
Ns4.7 and opera6 (as opera6) the top header has a relly big gap between the top logo and the "the lord god ..." text, also the grey line is bigger in both versions than IE5, ie looks like about 2 pixels, ns and opera look about 10.
the side nav links are full (no double line links) but opera is same as ie.

I would probably break your links down into sections, and "home page", could be just "home".
you could do something like homeabout uscontact usshopping cartstore index .... or even use hr between sections.

your images on the right also have a yellowy background color to them, you could loose that by making them transparent

The main problem is using a Red Georgia Font Size 6 on a white background. Why can't you do it as a gif?

That is even worse. The logo is too large also in my opinion. Maybe, you can get a redesign from him. It is real tough to ask someone who did something for free to do something else but ... the alternative is to stick with what you have.

Welcome to TWF rapio.

I think that the logo and the angels on the top right do not fit together. Is the logo a set thing or can you change it?

You need a mouseover color for your links.

The background for the images on the right should have a white background color. They don't look bad but it is noticable to me.

You have just a wee tiny horizontal scroll and I am thinking that the page may look better if it were centered.

Taff, I thought the same thing (GAS) about the logo when i looked at it.

The first thing that caught my attention was the logo. I don't know if you have any control over this (quite often web designers are stuck working around a predetermined logo) but the way the letters are arranged, with the G leaning left, it reads to me as GAS rather than AGS.

Mairving has really caught most of the other things. One more I would add is that there is sideways scroll at 800x600

I'll try to offer one suggestion. I noticed that the links on the left side just seemed like a lot. It has the standard "about us" and "contact us" links but then jumps into product categories. Maybe you could put a simple break after the "store index" link and then put "categories" with the rest of the links underneath to have it slightly separated. Just me.

Rapio, glad to have you over here. I thought that your site has potential but it may need a little tweaking. There are just a few things that bother me about it. One is the text. The scripture reference at the top, I would either do in a smaller font size or make it a gif to keep it from looking so jagged. The same goes for the welcome message except that I would just change the font size. The featured products section bothers me a bit two. It looks good but it sticks out since this is the only area that you used the blue background/white text combo. I would either expand upon it by using the same header in other areas or take it off.
