    The Christian faith often clashes with worldly values, causing conflict and tension. However, we must allow the Holy Spirit to guide us and fill our minds with the truth found in the Bible.

    Have you ever played Jenga? You know, that game where you stack wooden blocks and try to pull them out without making the tower fall? It's fun, right? But it's also a bit nerve-wracking. You never know when the whole thing is going to come crashing down. That's kind of like what it's like to live ...read more

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jun 10, 2025
    based on 1 rating

    The secret place is not a mystical idea—it is the real, living presence of God that we can experience daily. It is where our spirits are nourished, our minds are renewed, and our hearts are transformed.

    Purifying Our Hearts

    Contributed by Jm Raja Lawrence on Nov 18, 2025
     | 226 views

    God calls us to complete heart transformation, not surface improvements. Through confession, refining trials, and single-minded devotion, we discover the path to genuine purity and intimate fellowship with Him.

    Purifying Our Hearts Psalm 51:10 The foundation for heart purity begins with David's urgent prayer in Psalm 51:10. After his devastating sins with Bathsheba, David recognized something profound: his heart needed complete reconstruction, not minor repairs. When he asks God to "create" ...read more

    After renewing the mind and the voice, the final battlefield is the body.We live digitally connected but physically empty.God didn’t save the world through a signal.He came in person.

    We have traveled five weeks together. Week 1, we fixed our minds. We broke the algorithm that was fragmenting us. Week 2, we reclaimed our souls. We refused the lie that we're machines.

    What must Mary have thought when she first opened the door and found a group of Iranian astrologers, there to celebrate the birth of her son? These characters seem so inappropriate in the Christmas narrative, but maybe that’s the point?

    The Xmas season is over! We’ve wished each other a Merry Xmas AND a Happy New Year, and now the festive season is PAST. The holidays (for most of us) are over. The time for singing carols and wishing peace and goodwill to all is finished. The presents have been handed out. The cards have all been ...read more

    Open honesty is essential for conversion. Conversion is essential for saint & sinner alike. Many times complete conversion is never manifested in one’s life simply because they have hidden shame, & witheredness, that has never been healed.

    “(STRETCHING FORTH) WITHERED HANDS” Mark McCool TEXT: MATTHEW 12:9-13 9 And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue: 10 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse ...read more

    John has given his readers a great deal of corrective instruction in the opening chapters of this book - now he speaks words of encouragement and exhortation for them (and for us!) to take to heart and to put into practice in our own lives.

    It’s hard to go forward if we continually look back. God puts before us an open door of opportunity, but we must know that we are capable of good, and we must know our identities.

    A hallway is a place of transition, and a place of testing. It is what you do in the hallways of life that will determine the doors God will open for you. From Ps. 105 we use Joseph as our example and look at the trials, tests, and triumphs of hallways.
