Sin: Keeping Up Appearances

After a moment’s pause, one youngster said, "Maybe it’s because they don’t know you." I wonder…..could that be said of us? ...read more

The Fellowship Of The Faithful Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 8, 2020

In Acts 2:42, fellowship is named the 2nd item the church devoted themselves to. Why 2nd? Was that a mere accident, or was there a special importance God wanted us to see in that part of worship?

Contributed by Dr. Madana Kumar, Phd on Feb 26, 2018

We all have a tendency to focus on what we do not have and hence what we cannot do. But the God who gave us life knows what we do not have. He is interested in what we do with what we have. Can we turn our attention to that?
