     | 5,273 views

    “I entreat Euodia and I entreat Syntyche to agree in the Lord. Yes, I ask you also, true companion, help these women, who have labored side by side with me in the gospel together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.” [1],[2] We do not ...read more

    In these five verses Jesus sets forth 1) the original Mosaic teaching, 2) the traditional perversion of that teaching, and 3) His own reemphasis of what God’s standard for truth has always been.

    Whether you are a child or an adult, Truth is so scarce that nearly everyone is suspect. Business people, advertisers, commentators, clerks, salesmen, lawyers, doctors, tradesmen, teachers, writers, politicians, and even many, if not most, preachers are suspect. Our whole society is largely built ...read more

    Word Of God: What Is In It For Me?

    Contributed by Dr. Madana Kumar, Phd on Feb 26, 2018
     | 4,066 views

    What is our response to the Word of God? Do we continue to search out to try and see how the word can meet our needs? Or do we have a higher purpose in listening to the word and applying it? The answer to the question "What is In It for Me? " is simple.

    This month’s topic is Word of God and for the past two weeks both the pastors have given us some serious messages on what is the Word all about. I would like to turn the table and focus on “What is our response to the Word?” Whether I am teaching at SAIACS or running a program for my corporate job, ...read more
