Like Peter Claver, we can be means of helping others to escape the slavery of sin.

September 5, 2011 Testimony of the Saints Labor Day I sometimes ask my students what occupation God would put on his tax return, if He had to file one.

Go In To Possess

Contributed by Bala Samson on Mar 12, 2013

Sometimes we expect God to spoon-feed us! We want the ‘blessings’ wrapped with colorful, glossy paper and given to us; it does not happen that way, there are times we got to just move forward and possess it.

Go in to possess! Nehemiah 9:15”You gave them bread from heaven for their hunger, And brought them water out of the rock for their thirst, And told them to go in to possess the land Which You had sworn to give them.” Observe the title once more, it is not 'go in and possess' but it ...read more

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 12, 2013

THE FAITHFUL SAYINGS IN THE PASTORAL EPISTLES. The hymn book of the New Testament church was no doubt the Book of Psalms, thus establishing the continuity of worship from synagogue to church. However, there are hints in Paul’s writings of other formulae which may have been used in public ...read more

Look On Us!

Contributed by Bala Samson on Aug 31, 2015

Look on us! Acts 3:1”And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.” Many times we focus on the healing of the 40 year old man who sat near the temple, but I would like you to focus on the words of Peter and John here: ’Look on us!” Rarely we hear ...read more
