One Thing

Contributed by Shashi Marian on Mar 14, 2026

We all have some big dreams or desires. We have often heard people say my one desire is to see my children getting settled so that I may be peaceful, while others say my one desire is to own a jet, some others my one is to have a good job and so on. Similarly, we all have that one thing.

We all have great desires to be fulfilled. There is none in this world who say that they do not have any desires. What has been declared in the Bible by the Psalmist King David is worth noting and learning. Let us look into those insights this day. Psalms 27:4, David the King said, "One thing ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Amen Howard on Aug 13, 2013

One of the great characteristics of the body of Christ is to care about the burdens and sufferings of one another. However, as we seek to console and encourage friends that have been offended, we may be tempted to take up their offense against another.

In sympathy, we may tend to take their part against the pastor, the church or whoever they blame for the offense. This is very unwise and an unscriptural thing to do, considering that your friend may be the cause of his own/her offense, or trying to drag you out of faith. His/her hurt feelings may ...read more
