    Chocolate soldiers may look neat and taste delicious, but they don't help much in winning the battle at hand. God is still looking for men and women who are willing to step out of the comfort zone and do something for Him in this war zone of life.

    SERVICEABLE SOLDIERS 1 Samuel 14:1,6 Now it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison, that is on the other side.

    The story of Paul in the Areopagus in Athens will be a nice one for philosophers and the intellectuals of the times and to some extent the postmodern folks of today who neither think much about science or of religion. Yet this story is also the story of our time and of ordinary folks who are ...read more

    A call to sober-minded watchfulness in these last days.

    The place of service is a place of honour, blessings, and spiritual fulfilment. God does not call people to sit on the sidelines; He calls them to serve. Whether in the church, in our communities, or in our daily lives, we must be willing to serve with humility, diligence, and commitment.
