     | 5,191 views

    Modern churches often fail to worship because they do not recognise the centrality of preaching for worship. We would do well to recall the instruction Paul gave Timothy.

    2 TIMOTHY 4:1-5 THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD IN EVIL DAYS “I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience ...read more

    As we get ready to enter into the new year, many of us are busy making some New Year’s resolutions. While I’ve certainly made my share of resolutions over the years, I no longer do that. Probably, like most of you who have done that I find that I haven’t really done a very good ...read more

     | 6,666 views

    In this concluding article of this title series, I want to focus on the ministries that are prohibited and the ministries that women can and should pursue.

     | 12,286 views

    God has a good plan for our lives and we can discover our destiny in Christ by making daily decisions in submission to His Word through the power of the Holy Spirit. This is the lesson we can learn from the last chapter of Ruth.

A typical response of a person who believes in fate is resignation - if we can't change destiny, then why even try? Whatever happens, happens and we can't do ...read more
