    It is not just about “God and me,” as some less-than-social Christians might assert. In God’s Kingdom, our behavior affects others and their behavior affects us.

    God wants us to be close to Him, not emotionally or spiritually distant from Him.

    Distancing Ourselves from God (Psalm 50) 1. Memorial Day is a day to remember our war dead. Over 1.1 million military personnel have died as a result of war in the history of our nation. 2.

    We must love ourselves before we can offer love to others

    One day an expert in religious law stood up to test Jesus by asking him this question: "Teacher, what must I do to receive eternal life?" Jesus replied, "What does the law of Moses say? How do you read it?" The man answered, " `You must love the Lord your God with all your ...read more

    We Must Examine Ourselves

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Apr 1, 2022
     | 1,605 views

    When taking the Sacrament of Holy Communion, we must take an honest inventory of our life through examination, confession and forgiveness. We must take the Sacrament fully reconciled before God and our neighbor.

    THROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH, THE LORD'S SUPPER HAS BEEN THE MOST COMMON FORM OF PUBLIC WORSHIP. THE HOLY SUPPER TAKEN TOGETHER IN THE FORM OF WORSHIP BECOMES THE MEANS BY WHICH WE ARE EMPOWERED TO FULLY GIVE OF OURSELVES. CHRISTIANS CAN ONLY MINISTER ON THE BASIS OF WHAT THEY ...read more

    We ought to feel comfortable praying for ourselves in a bold manner.

    Introduction I would dare say that most Christians feel more comfortable praying for someone else than praying for themselves. Christians prefer intercessory prayer rather than personal prayer.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,208 views

    Deception can come from within. Have you ever told yourself a lie, and talked yourself into believing it? That is self-deception. Have you ever seen your friends doing something, and you know it is wrong, but you still talked yourself into doing that exact same thing? That is self-deception.

    Introduction My Bible tells me as we approach the end times, there will be one major event that will occur that the church is silent about for the most part, and therefore, the church is not teaching its members to be aware. But this event must occur, and we must be prepared for it because God ...read more

    How would you score on a test that determined how to measure your successfulness as a Christian?

     | 6,331 views

    God is incomparable with everything and anyone, and He cannot be likened to our images of Him. He is God we are not, therefore we need to bow everything in submission to Him, and instead of declaring healing or blessing, pray that His will be done.

    IF YOU COMPARE YOU CAN DECLARE Isaiah 40 Last week I shared about a gospel that is being taught and it is spreading like wildfire in Asia, Africa, Latin America and my country.
