Read Matthew 7: 15-23 Jesus has just got through warning us about the path to destruction in the Sermon on the ...read more

    It is a sad thought to know that that there is a lot of gossip going on in the church that causes or creates a lot of tension. We must be watch out for them that will try to cause the unity and the harmony to be disrupted.

    Many people believe that they cannot die until their time comes. But what does the Bible say about this? The Bible teaches us that the length of our lives can be influenced by our actions and beliefs. Therefore, it is important to understand that any enemy who is not afraid of dying is a formidable ...read more

    When we find hate in our heart, it is simply a sign that we are going to need to forgive. Forgiveness doesn't make the other person right, it sets you free. For a believer , forgiveness is not simply the wisest choice, O Beloved, it is our only choice.
