    Religious traditions are dangerous. We can easily be satisfied by them. Passified by them so that we go to sleep and do not follow God's call. May God deliver us!

    Matthew 15:1-20 has been a key passage to point out the danger of vain worship by following man made traditions instead of God's word. I have often heard this passage applied to the activities that we do in our church services, but Jesus' application is actually much broader. So just what is a ...read more

    Since the scriptures tell us that we can find Jesus with our heart, sometimes we become blinded in finding Jesus because we have spiritual blinders on our eyes. And when this happens, we seem to lose site of Jesus.

    Worship flows out of our revelation of God, our experiences in God, and our gratitude for His goodness. These matters must be addressed when we seek to enhance our worship experience. Otherwise the experience can become artificial and contrived.

But it is extremely important to find answers to the question. If I were to ask for a show of hands this morning, how many ...read more

    Confession Without Conversion

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 18, 2025
     | 357 views

    Confession without conversion is a dangerous spiritual deception. It gives the appearance of salvation without the power of it. God is not impressed with words alone—He looks for a surrendered heart and a transformed life.
