    Attempts to reveal all the activities that cause unholiness and shows how holy-living can be enforced in one’s life when it seems difficult to remain holy.

    Our God is holy; the reason why you may be living an unholy life is that YOU haven’t done what you are supposed to do to stop it and you may have been defeated into thinking it’s impossible to live a holy life. However, be informed today that it is incumbent on you, it behooves you—which ever way ...read more

    Attempts to reveal all the activities that cause unholiness and shows how holy-living can be enforced in one’s life when it seems difficult to remain holy.

    Sexual immorality will easily come to mind as an agent of defilement of a holy life; furthermore, a person who has indulged in making the body unclean has also grieved the Holy Spirit and is about crucifying Jesus a second time! (Ephesians 4:30, Hebrews 6:6). We have been taught in the scripture ...read more

    How was your first day of school? Did the teacher give you a test? Were you assigned any projects? Did you get any homework at all? In my experience the first day of school was a day to get books, meet the teacher, and catch up with friends. It was probably one of the easiest days of the school ...read more

    We live in an age, where a lot of Christians do not really believe in the activities of the spiritual world. Demonic possession is a Hollywood thing only seen on the big screen.

    Prelude After reading Matthew 12:43-45 it come to me that the church in general does not believe in the spiritual warfare in the sense of a ragging battle that is going on around them. Even though the Bible continually warns us of the devices of Satan and the power that his army of demons have, ...read more

    Our identity will determine our activity. We the body of Christ find who we are in Him. If we identify with Christ we live by faith that matures into love.

    Intro: Last week as we began studying Paul’s letter labeled Ephesians we began to learn about our identity. Remember that I said that our identity is important because it determines our activity.

    Change agent is the one that acts or exerts power to change and transform a difficult situation. A change agent is someone that produces or is capable of producing an effect, an active, or effecient cause.

One of my favorite Bible characters that describes a change agent is Joseph the dreamer, the second youngest son of Jacob. Because of his dream, he was subject to the jealousy if his siblings ...read more

    The Bible talks about three types of listeners: active, passive, and forgetful. Only one leads to blessing and life, so it is imperative it is the type of listening we do.

    Introduction There is a Peanuts comic strip where Peppermint Patty and her friend are walking to school.

    As a Body of believers, each one of us are responsible for building the Kingdom of God. One important aspect in this process is being actively involved in building one another up.

    Worship is not a routine activity but a spiritual exercise to feed the soul and renew the relationship with one another and with God. Satan blocks the way. He justifies the attitude of indifferent to Worship.
