When Diligence Becomes Hard Labour

Contributed by Kayode Omotoso on Oct 12, 2017

Diligence is a virtue but when God is taken out of the picture, it becomes a liability characterized by vanity, sorrow, hard labour, restlessness, failure and poverty

Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep. Ps 127:1-2 Biblical Facts: 1. At every given ...read more

What Else Do You Need To Shed? Series

Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Jun 27, 2019

Holding on to our comfort zone can have serious consequences; especially if it's hindering our works within the body of Christ. Either we're in or we're not. There are no half-officers in the army of God.

Many different types of people walk through the gates into boot camp. Rich and poor; fat and skinny; bully and timid; smart and stupid; agile and clumsy; capable and ignorant. The first task that the military has to accomplish is to make them all "equal." That's called ...read more

End Innocent Bloodshed

That's A Song To Sing

Contributed by Joe W. Theus on Dec 30, 2015

Seeking comfort at times may come through singing songs you like. It is a part of the African American history to sing when frustrated, depressed, or even seeking decisions for life's quest

This idea was prompted by a song of the world, as we would call it, "Only the strong Survive" by the late Jerry Butler. He talks about a love affair that went wrong and concludes that only the strong survive bad relationships. Of course, I agree and so, that's a song to sing. This Psalm by David ...read more
