    The Ascension Of The Lord- But They Doubted

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Apr 22, 2023
     | 1,292 views

    Involuntary doubt refers to hesitation in believing, difficulty in overcoming objections connected with the faith, or also anxiety aroused by its obscurity. If deliberately cultivated doubt can lead to spiritual blindness.

    In a Roman Catholic parochial school, a young student learned that Light waves travel much faster than sound waves. And he knew that we can see as far out in the universe as 46.5 billion light years away. So, when Sister Marie was teaching the Biblical story of the Ascension of Jesus to a class of ...read more

    Jesus actions forever changed the penalty portion of our time of judgment.

    God’s TV station would mimic other shows, they would underpin a key scripture to help teach real truth to a culture that has been taught to doubt, question and render a verdict based on individual feelings, experiences and secular teachings. It’s from this seat of judgment, we tune into one of ...read more

     | 600 views

    Dives ended up in a Dive Bar in Hell's Kitchen for all eternity, and I don’t mean a below sidewalk-level seedy bar in Manhattan, NY.

    The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus is the only parable that contains a proper name, "Lazarus;" the rich man has no name, but he is traditionally known as "Dives," the Latin word meaning "rich." Dives ended up in a Dive Bar in Hell's Kitchen for all ...read more

    Walking In Resurrection Power (After Easter) Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Apr 23, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 862 views

    Walking in resurrection power is the believer’s true post-Easter experience. It is not theoretical; it is transformational. It means living as Christ lived, overcoming as He overcame, and doing what He commissioned us to do. The resurrection was not just for celebration—it was for mobilisation.

    WALKING IN RESURRECTION POWER (AFTER EASTER) By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Philippians 3:10 “That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death.” Supporting Texts: Romans 8:11; Ephesians 1:19-20; Acts 1:8; John ...read more

    Introduction Have you ever found yourself at a crossroads, desperately asking God for a sign? "Lord, if you want me to take this job, let the phone ring in the next ten minutes." "God, if this is the person I'm supposed to marry, have them wear a blue shirt tomorrow." We ...read more

    The Baptism Of The Lord And Contemplation

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 9, 2026
     | 113 views

    It is meant to improve yourself in everything through the practice of Christian perfection, guiding your souls to more holiness by cooperating with God's grace given first to you in baptism.

    Instead of typical New Year’s resolutions to exercise, eat better and lose weight—the Church says just become God-like and you can do all that and much more. It is not that “you yourself are God,” but we are “gods by grace” (Aquinas) beginning with baptism as we have the indwelling of God in our ...read more
