    In Nehemiah we see that the world was attempting to infiltrate the faith and how Nehemiah dealt with this problem.

    Barbarians At The Gates Nehemiah 13:1-31 Intro: Back in 1990 Bryan Burrough and John Helyar wrote a book titled Barbarians At The Gates. In 1993 that book was made into a movie.

    Do not allow the enemy to trap you in the “why me?” Just remember who you are.

    If you remember, last week I mentioned that on occasions the believers tend to fall in the enemy’s trap; on occasions, the believer tends to fall in the trap of self pity, which in almost all instances causes them to deviate from God’s path. This was certainly the case with the prophet ...read more

    Stay focused on God’s calling, resisting distractions and lesser pursuits, so your life’s work aligns with what truly matters in God’s eyes.

    Some weeks feel like a parade of interruptions. Phones ping, pressures pile, promises pull, and before long our attention drifts like a leaf on a windy day. You set out to do the thing God has put in your hand—raise a child, love your spouse, serve your neighbor, finish that assignment, shepherd ...read more

     | 1,871 views

    Non-denominationalism only divided us more then we ever were before. If satan's kingdom cannot stand if divided against itself how can the House of God stand when we are so divided? We say we are one Body, but we look like a body hit by an explosion.

    Mark 3:24  And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.  25  And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.  1 Corinthians 12:12  For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, ...read more
