Christmas: God… Is… Now… Here!

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Dec 19, 2020

We can greet each other—instead of with “Merry Christmas,” we could shout instead, “God chose flesh,” “God became one of us!”

The Christmas story confirms one pattern of God—He shows up in unexpected places.

Pseudo-Science Vs. Sanctification

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Feb 23, 2019

The Bible implores every Christian to “live by the Spirit” (Gal 5:16 NIV). This is no easy task and requires full submission to God of every minute detail of one’s life. Through the centuries church leaders have used numerous ways to motivate and encourage people to live and walk in the Spirit.

Some of the most recent human-made ideas to help bring about “spiritual” living, and help Christians better understand themselves - as well as others - to live in unity and purpose together, is the use of personality tests and gift assessments. Psychological job placement and career tests are used ...read more

Celebrating God Everyday

Contributed by Lola Olanrewaju on Jan 27, 2019

Celebrating God should not be a give and take practice with God, but it should be done unconditionally. When Paul and Silas praised God in prison, they have no clue what was about to happen in their life, but God set them free miraculously (Acts 16:25-34).

It is a great joy for people to celebrate special occasions in their life. People celebrates birthday, wedding, graduation, new job, promotion, new baby, house warming, new appointment, many more. Do you know that God himself delights in celebration. In the book of exodus 12:14 God gave instruction ...read more
