    Christmas is less than 2 months away, in fact it’s only 56 days from today! I don't believe anyone would argue the fact that Christmas is the season of giving. Maybe you remember this book. It is one of the most popular fiction books ever written on the subject of giving at Christmastime.

    It is called; "A Christmas Carol” written by Charles Dickens. The publishing of his book was hugely popular; its first printing of 6,000 copies sold out in less than three days, and that was back in 1843 on December 19th just 6 days before Christmas; that was without computers, television, not ...read more

    His Presence Or Presents

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 451 views

    True Success

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on May 27, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,085 views

    Many Christians understand success unbiblically. They have been deceived into chasing success according to the world's standards. They should know that the measure of success according to God is very different from the world's.

    Today, I will discuss success. I have been reluctant to discuss this topic because I do not want to be associated with the teaching of "Theology of Success" or "Prosperity Gospel," which is not based on the complete teachings of the Bible. But two weeks ago, I felt the Holy ...read more
