     | 10,621 views

    Many people boast about their wisdom, might, or riches, but Jeremiah shares in this message the only true reason to glory. If you want to glory in anything, glory in God and proclaim His power throughout the world.

    Jeremiah 9:23-24 Intro: Jeremiah was a young priest denouncing the practice of worshiping images. Jeremiah gave reason to worship the true God, His creative power and providential care. Although Jeremiah's message was strong and his faith deep in God, the people would reject his ...read more

Getting out of school? Perhaps you would like to change your very body – be taller or shorter, ...read more

     | 9,961 views

    Materialism ensures that we can never fully enjoy the blessings of God

    “He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity. When goods increase, they increase who eat them, and what advantage has their owner but to see them with his eyes? Sweet is the sleep of a laborer, whether he eats little or ...read more

    A Parable Of Chutzpah

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on May 3, 2015
     | 3,752 views

    We need to approach prayer with a sense of bold, unhesitating urgency--with chutzpah. We have no worries--unlike the grumpy, groggy neighbor, God never slumbers and is always happy to hear from us.

    Jesus gave His disciples the Model Prayer, and followed with a story about someone in need of “daily bread,” a parable that conveys the attitude our prayers should have—we should approach God an unhesitating sense of urgency. The story was a common situation for our Lord’s ...read more

    Don't Sell Your Birthright

    Contributed by Bola Folakemi Praise on Apr 18, 2020
     | 8,052 views

    Birthright is a moral right possessed by everyone- birthright can be explained as your inarguable, noncontroversial right and power conferred on you at birth. You don’t have to do anything to get it. Birthright is your natural endowment- your natural blessing.

     | 4,107 views

    Whatever you do in excess becomes an abuse, it is good to eat to keep healthy, but too much of food can pose danger to the body.

    16 If you find honey, eat just enough— too much of it, and you will vomit. 27 It is not good to eat too much honey, nor is it honorable to search out matters that are too deep. 28 Like a city whose walls are broken through is a person who lacks self-control.

    The Bible doesn’t promise that life on earth would be pleasant for believers. Neither is it the will of God for us to just strive or survive; His plan is for us to thrive and be fruitful.

    THRIVING IN A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT "12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him. 13 The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous; 14 for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a ...read more

    Paghahasik Ng Pagtatalo

    Contributed by James Dina on Aug 8, 2020
     | 3,016 views

    Ang paghahasik ng pagtatalo sa pagitan ng mga kapatid ay isang karumaldumal sa mga mata ng Panginoon. Ang pagsasaalang-alang sa iyong sarili na mas mahusay kaysa sa iba ay nagtataguyod ng dibisyon ngunit isinasaalang-alang ang iba na mas mahusay kaysa sa iyong sarili ay nagtataguyod ng pagkakaisa.

    Paghahasik ng pagtatalo "Ang taong baluktot ay naghahatid ng pagtatalo, at ang isang bulong ay naghihiwalay sa pinakamahusay na mga kaibigan" (Kawikaan 16:28) Ang mga kapatid ay nilikha ng Diyos upang manirahan sa pagkakaisa (Gaano kahusay at kaaya-aya sa mga kapatid na magkasama na ...read more
