Celebrating God Everyday

Contributed by Lola Olanrewaju on Jan 27, 2019

Celebrating God should not be a give and take practice with God, but it should be done unconditionally. When Paul and Silas praised God in prison, they have no clue what was about to happen in their life, but God set them free miraculously (Acts 16:25-34).

It is a great joy for people to celebrate special occasions in their life. People celebrates birthday, wedding, graduation, new job, promotion, new baby, house warming, new appointment, many more. Do you know that God himself delights in celebration. In the book of exodus 12:14 God gave instruction ...read more

Why I Quit Tithing

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Sep 23, 2019

Because God owns it all, the question should not be, "How much should I give?" But rather the question should be, "How much should I keep?"

Most people simply don’t understand tithing. To many Christians, it seems like some sort of country club due. Another bill in the long list of monthly expenses. I hear questions like: “How Much Are You Supposed to Tithe?” “Do I tithe on my gross income or net income?” “My pay my tithe on my pay ...read more

The Serious Side Of Sin Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 4, 2008

Yes they were hypocrites, pretending to give all but in actuality only giving part. But how could they receive a death sentence just for that?
