The New Wine Of The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 19, 2018

Is Jesus In Your Marriage? Series

Contributed by Benjamin Suulola on Feb 22, 2023

The Lord taught me that marriage is beyond my idea and if I will not repeat the mistakes of my parents, there must be a perfect agreement between me and my wife to be (then) on who will take the lead in our marital journey.

Marriage is not man's idea. It works only for those who understand this truth. Marriage is God's idea and it takes His Wisdom and Power to make it work as He designed it to be. JESUS is both Wisdom and Power of GOD. I have seen how people struggle to attain God's best in marriage and ...read more

The Poverty Mindset

Contributed by Jeff Van Wyk on Apr 13, 2013

One false concept is that poverty has some mysterious refining qualities. Some believe that it is spiritual to be poor. That is not the way God lives and neither does He want us to live that way. Just look how He blessed Abraham. The Bible teaches us that

THE POVERTY MIND-SET Simply put, being poor is not having enough food, clothing, and shelter for your family. It is an urgent unmet need for more money and material possessions.

The Faith Of Rahab

Contributed by James Lee on Oct 31, 2012
