Held His Hands Up

Contributed by Jose R. Hernandez on Apr 9, 2011

The church needs men and women like Aaron and Hur, people willing to lift up and hold the arms of those that have grown weary. People that are willing to help at all times all of those that may find themselves in a weakened to exhausted state.

I do not know how may of you are paying attention to what is happening around us, but I can confidently say that the ministry is in grave trouble. Now, let me stop here for a moment to clear something up. When I say that the ministry is in trouble, I am not referring to our ministry in ...read more

Why Me?

Contributed by Jose R. Hernandez on Apr 9, 2011

Do not allow the enemy to trap you in the “why me?” Just remember who you are.

If you remember, last week I mentioned that on occasions the believers tend to fall in the enemy’s trap; on occasions, the believer tends to fall in the trap of self pity, which in almost all instances causes them to deviate from God’s path. This was certainly the case with the prophet ...read more

Justification by faith humbles man by excluding all grounds of boasting. Justification by faith also provides opportunity for all mankind to be saved but still upholds the value of the Law which we have all broke.
