     | 1,567 views

    How many Christians today are actually taking time out of their week, much less any given day, to study the Word of God.

    Key verses (31-35) John 6:22-40 portrays the underlying outcome of Jesus’ feeding of the thousands the day previous. The people’s real longing is for another extraordinary and supernatural scene and all the free food. In this entry, Christ starts to clarify the genuine significance behind His ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,355 views

    How often we allow our circumstances or people around us to shape the opinion we have of ourselves. Instead let’s look up to the Lord, and study His word to understand who we really are from God’s point of view.

The LORD's angel appeared to him there and said, “The LORD is with you, brave and mighty man!” (GNT) The people of Israel were in an arduous ...read more

    Satanic hindrances in the believer’s life may finally prove to be their worst demise.

    Seems we desire the fire but we will settle for smoke? Are we so good at offering excuses that we refuse to accept accountability and the responsibility for our actions, reactions or no action?
