"God Is Hungry”

Contributed by Bubot Parago on Sep 20, 2018

To satisfy His cravings is finding the Source of our longings! Oooohhhh... the feeling is mutual. Just like St.Augustine’s favourite quote: "Our Hearts are Restless Until They Rest in You"

God to be hungry? Do you think God has hunger pains? At first glance this question has an obvious answer; No! God is not confined to a human body, He is Spirit. He has no need for food. God is self-existent and does not need any outside source to assist Him in sustaining life. However, though He is ...read more

No Perfect People

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 13, 2021

Some people believe that Christians are supposed to be and appear perfect, and that the only ones who can attend church are those who “have it all together.” The church is not a country club for saints, but a hospital for sinners.

Life is hard, and there are many people who are wounded and hurting inside, who are dealing with personal and emotional issues. This is true not only of unbelievers, but Christians as well; but all too often we come to church wearing a mask and putting on a show. People will ask us how we’re ...read more
