    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,313 views

    The Ministry of Praise and Worship isn’t new fad for today’s 21st century church. The beginning of creation gave God praise and in Revelations God is worshiped.

    Today’s trend (fad) is men exposing their bottoms and women revealing their tops. However, the ministry of Praise and Worship isn’t new fad for today’s 21st century church. On the contrary since God spoke, the beginning of creation is disclosed in the Book of Genesis giving praise to God. Then ...read more

    The model that is frequently brought into the church is provided by this world. That model drives the disciple to step on others in order to advance himself. The model Jesus provides, though often neglected, is quite different; it teaches us to serve.

    As believers, we are instructed to develop healthy relationships with others, Christians and non-Christians. Our behavior towards one another is not to be confined just to those in our social circle, or those who have the same ideologies; our behavior to all people should be reflective of Christ.

    Consider the following principles for developing a healthy relationship with others. I. LOVE EVERYONE A. "A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’" (Matthew 22:39, NLT) B. "“But if you are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies. Do good to those who hate ...read more
