    In this message, Yours truly has endeavoured to bring to the fore the stark contrast in the thinking of the Worldly wise and the Wisest One in the Universe whose ways and thoughts are far higher than those termed as “brilliant” by the finite World (1 Cor 1:25).

    TWENTY-TWENTY VISION For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.-Isa ...read more

    Hell is a very real place and very scary, but also ad comforting message of grace for the unjust, How do we solve the problem of all of those contradicting verses - WE CAN, LOOK AND SEE!

    With sincerity, dedication and concern, by lending out their ears, many well meaning Christians study the hell fire message out of context. The message of forever being punished in hell is a message of Love and hope and not a message of discouragement. it's not a message that should cause you to ...read more

    The greatest weapon that we have in the war against the enemy is God himself and when we unite our faith with His Love for us, everything becomes subject to what God wants to do for and in our lives!

    Psalms 68:1-3 NKJ Let God arise, Let His enemies be scattered; Let those also who hate Him flee before Him. 2 As smoke is driven away, So drive them away; As wax melts before the fire, So let the wicked perish at the presence of God. 3 But let the righteous be glad; Let them rejoice before ...read more

    Sometimes we believe the whole world revolves around us. Other times, we wonder if God really cares about us. Psalm 8 gives an attitude adjustment for both. Our true self-esteem is found in God, who is great and greatly to be praised!

    Psalm 8 Keeping things in Perspective Do you ever think that maybe Galileo and Copernicus got it wrong, that our solar system doesn’t really revolve around the sun? Because on some days it seems like the universe just revolves around you? Now let’s be honest. We all have our moments of ...read more

    If we could really turn back the hands of time, would we? Why would we? Would it be ethical? Would it be wise to do so?Reasons people would like to go back in time, would it be good to change the past, and what the Bible says about our future.

    Series: Walking by Faith # 5 The Courage of Peter Matthew 14:28-32 As we continue our study of walking by faith, I couldn’t imagine a series dealing with this subject without looking at the account we have read today.
