If we disown Him, He will also disown us; if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He ...read more

In the middle of a life crisis Job spoke these words:- “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart.” Job 1:21 As we consider these ...read more

    The church and our nation don't seem to be in a good spot and need much prayer. The church in Ephesus was in a similar spot and Paul knew that they needed prayer desperately. Have we been focusing on praying for the church in our nation?

The man seldom watered the young trees because he thought that too much watering spoiled them. (He came from the “no pain, no gain” school of plant care.) Pampered trees, ...read more
