Dwight L. Moody used to say, “The only way to keep a broken vessel full is to keep it always under ...read more

We all have a tendency to focus on what we do not have and hence what we cannot do. But the God who gave us life knows what we do not have. He is interested in what we do with what we have. Can we turn our attention to that?

I might want to take a look at it if I can get my hands on that BMW next week, because of something the prosperity gospel promises. Right? Jokes apart, we do realise that prosperity gospel is a ...read more
