     | 2,522 views

    If the source of our sicknesses is located in the false gods we worship, we need the help of the true God to replace them with the beliefs, ideas, values and goals that offer us healing and new life.

    Mk 1.29-39 presents a scene of healing. He heals Simon’s mother-in-law and she begins to serve them. Good health is a necessary condition to be at the service of God and neighbour. God grants it to those who are eager to enter into this service. At sunset, he heals all the sick and the possessed, ...read more

    Is it possible we can rob God of more than our finances? I find at least three areas wherby God is often robbed by His children.

    Christians can often rob God of more than just our money. (A) Men Can Rob God Of Our Worship. (1) We were created to worship: God and God alone is to be worshipped. (2) We owe God all our praise and our reverence. (3) When we withold these or give these to another we are robbing God. (Ill.) Many ...read more
