    The Word creates the universe and all that is within it and centuries later he presents Himself in human form as a helpless little baby, all to woo us.

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jan 26, 2025
     | 1,050 views

    As children of God, we are called to live out our faith continually, day by day, in a world that constantly pulls us in different directions and is always striving for our attention. At times we all live as if we have an unlimited time to accomplish our God given work.

Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - John 3:19 says, “And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil”.

    How do we as Christians respond to the push to accept the Gay Lifestyle as an equal alternative lifestyle? With wisdom, intelligence, compassion, and clarity, that’s how. First, let’s lay a Biblical foundation as to how a society becomes so messed up.

    It was a story neatly tucked between the jostling, pushing crowd meeting JESUS at the seaside and the urgency of Jairus’pleadings... and then,that infamous word;"WHO TOUCHED ME?" May our longing and need for GOD let not just pass us by,today!

    The scene was so poignant... what with the approach of a very influential man in the person of Jairus, and the emergency situation he was in... Verse 24 said that our LORD went with him... The characters in this passage suggests different attitudes of God’s people. Those who just want to ...read more

    In friendly banter, I will say to guys that give me a friendly push, "Hey, I belong to God! I am annointed! Don’t touch the Lord’s annointed! Back off!" What about you? Do you belong to God?

    Exodus 13 - Set Apart for Him! Exodus 13 interests me as it speaks about the firstborn sons of Israel. I am a firstborn son.
