No One Cares For A Tabloid God Series

Contributed by Troy Luttrell on Apr 22, 2014

Some would accuse God of being controversial in the way He went about asking Hosea to marry a prostitute. Does God advocate sin? Absolutely not! The real controversy in Scripture is that a holy God would want a relationship with sinful man.

Explained: Ineffectiveness In Prayer.

Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Aug 18, 2022

Why then are we hindered in our prayer life? Because we lack the understanding of what we are up against when we pray. Hence, a prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian. And a powerful believer is a prayerful believer. Prayer can be vocalized, or said silent, and with tears.

Many songs have been written over the years that encourages a believer to pray. I remember fondly one of the songs I learned in my early days when I was converted to the faith. The song was titled "Prayer is the key". I memorized the song out of my love and joy for singing church hymnals. ...read more
