Dancing With The Lord

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Nov 14, 2020

Often, when we examine the story of Jonah's initial refusal to follow God's instruction to go and peach to the people of Nineveh, we see a disobedient and selfish servant of God. Yes, this is a fact but, be it as it may, I would like to suggest that we look deeper into the story and view it ...read more

The Trinity- Triune God

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Aug 7, 2024

In contrast to the polytheism of the heathen world with its many gods and idols, the Christian faith centers in one God. This God, however, is revealed to be a Trinity, including the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Though, the word “Trinity” is not found in the Bible, yet scholars, Church history and traditions have validated it over the past 2,000 years along with many other theological concepts not found explicitly in the Bible. There are passages of scriptures found in the Bible that have hints of a ...read more

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Sep 6, 2022

David knew God’s kindness. He was not undisputed king because he deserved it, but because he of God’s kindness. What better way to respond to God’s kindness to him by showing another kindness. Mephibosheth once lived in favor in the royal family.
