    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,353 views

    But if we don’t grow spiritually as we should, so what? Is spiritual growth really that essential? Is there a “danger” involved in not progressing spiritually?

    We sometimes wonder why our petitions to God do not received answer. We called,we cried,we cling on His Name whom we believed, but there is no answer to our faith. If God hear us why doesnt he respond or reply to us.Does our action affects the answer?

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,805 views

    We have a world filled with people competing with each other to survive instead of relying on each other for survival. We have a world that is selfish and self centered instead of selfless and self sacrificing.

    Family Names in Stone Luke 3:23-25 Today I want to look at Jesus genealogy as recorded in Luke chapter 3. Here we have listed Marys family tree that is traced all the way back to Adam. In Matthews gospel we have the genealogy from Abraham to Jesus. Matthew traces Jesus to Abraham for a Jewish ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,855 views

    Since man is incapable to save himself God made a solution for man's fallen condition-that is, justification by faith in Christ.

    Introduction It is the unequivocal claim of the whole Scripture that man has a dilemma. That is, man stands condemned before God and he can do nothing to save himself from such shameful condition. We all know that all hopes of man to save himself such as religiosity and reliance on sets of rules ...read more

    While most people --including many professing Christians -- indiscriminately follow the popular culture and focus their lives on either looks, materialism, popularity, success, power, prestige, or social acceptance -- why should we pursue God and godlines
