    based on 15 ratings
     | 3,972 views

Some people think that what we do or don’t do with our bodies during worship doesn’t really matter, but that’s just not true. - Ex. Your kid does ...read more

    Matthew, Mark and Luke record an interesting verbal interchange between Jesus and His disciples. It concerns the “end of days.” They asked Him, “tell us about the sign of the end.” Jesus’ initial response was almost ominous, “watch that no one deceive you”… Have you ever been deceived? How did ...read more

    Religion as mankind's search for meaning in life and its ultimate expression in God's revelation of Himself in Jesus

    ‘WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE RELIGIOUS?’ The best way to learn is to ask questions. The dictionary tells us that it’s having reverence or belief in some being known as ‘God’. To go further, we have to ask more questions. And that’s what I want to do this ...read more
