    So what are we supposed to do if God calls us to do something that doesn’t make a lick of sense? Trust in God.

    All throughout the Bible, we can see that God liked to ask His people to do things that just didn’t seem to make sense. Here are a couple of examples: In the desert, God first asked the Israelites to give Him the first and the best of their crops and herds. If you’re a farmer, this ...read more

    You absolutely need the indwelling of Gods Spirit to lead you into a deep, personal and intimate relationship with God: To be in Christ and one with the Father

    Sometimes I feel a bit nervous when people talk about the Holy Spirit. I can understand God even without having seen a picture of Him because, even though the Bible says that “God is Spirit” (John 4:24), it also describes Him in quite human terms. Daniel pictured Him with clothing as white as snow ...read more

    Jesus gave Peter the keys to the kingdom. In similar fashion, Jesus grants me the joy of sharing the Gospel as He desires, guides and allows. You have the same opportunity.

    What exactly do you believe about Jesus? In my seminary days, our first semester in Systematic Theology dealt with that question. Our professor described Jesus as “the proleptic, salvific, hidden appearance of the eschatological kingdom of God”. Did you get that? Take notes; there might be a test ...read more

    What Do I Get Out Of It???

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 5, 2017
     | 4,799 views

    The phrase "What do I get out of it" seems to embody the reason for church attendance for many people who claim Christianity as their faith today. Is the body of Christ, the church, supposed to be a vehicle to make me happy for my own sake?

    Please open your Bibles to Romans 12:3-8 which we will read in a few minutes. Why on earth would anyone want to join a church? You don’t need to officially join a church to be saved and joining a church doesn’t save you. So, what’s the big deal? With that in mind let’s go ahead and read: Romans ...read more
