    The Danger Of Doing What Is Right In Your Own Sight

    Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Aug 6, 2023
     | 5,134 views

    The church has had far too much in common with the children of Israel back in the days when there was no king. We must cry out against the Spiritual, Moral, and Ethical Depravity that is being allowed to happen in the churches today.

    The Danger of Doing What is Right in Your Own Eyes By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. PRAYER: SCRIPTURES: - Judges 17 – 21 Deuteronomy 12:8 says, “You shall not do as we are doing here today, everyone doing what is right in his own eyes”.

     | 442 views

    God desires His children to live in abundance—not just materially, but spiritually, emotionally, relationally, and physically. This abundance is not about greed or materialism; it’s about walking in the fullness of God’s plan, provision, and purpose.

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,671 views

    God has called us to be His sons and daughters, but it is possible that we can live like slaves not understanding our position in Christ. May we be freed from every enslavement so we can enjoy the rights to be the true sons and daughters of God.

    We read in Romans 8:15, For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. (KJV) There are two kinds of spirits that are mentioned in the verse above, one is the spirit that makes us a slave, and the other the ...read more

    You Missed The Point

    based on 10 ratings
     | 7,649 views

    Why do we scold fathers on Father’s Day, when it is often that their children simply miss hearing their counsel. The sons of Josiah ignored their grounding in God’s word and the support of the Temple and misunderstood the value of hard work.

    The difference between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day is that we honor our mothers but we scold our fathers. We talk of saintly moms, who wore their fingers to the bone to cook and clean and sow for us. We honor them for their industry, their mother wit, and their prayer life. And that is as it ...read more
