What The World Really Needs Now

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Nov 4, 2024

What the world needs now is for the Church to be what God intended for it to be. We need to walk circumspectly, carefully and discreetly making sure our steps are order by the Lord, that He is leading and guiding us and that we are not just wandering aimlessly through this world.

The Wonders Of His Love Series

Contributed by Dorothy Lam on Jan 11, 2023

Nothing You Can Do To Make God Love You More Or Less

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 25, 2024

Recently I have been hearing quite a few pastors using a quote from Henri Nouwen a Dutch Catholic priest that states, “There is nothing we can do to make God love us more and nothing we can do to make God love us less.” Is that true? Let's see what God's Word has to say about it.

Do you have a Bible? I was once told that in a simple Bible with no maps, no apocrypha and no commentary you would find the Psalms in the center of the Bible. So, I thought maybe it would be Psalm 119 since it has 174 verses and is the longest chapter in the Bible. However, in my Bible it turns out ...read more

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 24, 2013

The peace of Jerusalem is tied up with the house of the Lord.

LET US GO TO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD. Psalm 122:1-9. The “house of the LORD” encompasses this Psalm (Psalm 122:1; Psalm 122:9).
