    All over the world people have traditions of throwing out the old and bringing in the new. It's a scriptural practice -- 2 Cor. 5:17. We need to have DEEP SORROW for sin, to UTTERLY FORSAKE our sins, and to TRUST IN JESUS for pardon.

    Sanctified Speech

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 12, 2025

     | 167 views

    God calls us to be sanctified vessels fit to be used for His greater purposes. One area that we need sanctification is our speech. In a world that thrives on lies and deception, the Lord Jesus challenges us to live a life of integrity and to practice speaking the truth at all times.

(AFV) There are two phrases that I wish to highlight from the above mentioned verse, the first one being ‘Sanctify yourselves’ and the ...read more

    As Christians, we’re called to examine everything through the lens of Scripture. Today, let’s take a closer look at the origins of Halloween, what it celebrates, and, most importantly, what God’s Word says about it.
