Surrendering Credentials To Christ

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Mar 13, 2016

If we're not careful, we can get caught up in the world's system of polishing that pedigree. Rather, like the Apostle Paul, we need to surrender all to the great goal of knowing more intimately Christ our Lord. Everything else is secondary.

Righteous But Foolish

Contributed by Kayode Omotoso on Jul 4, 2014

Most of us are too spiritual to think of eventualities in our planning thereby neglect taking precautions. The foolish five couldn’t go with the Groom because they refused to take precaution even when they saw others did. Wisdom is the principal thing!
