     | 1,640 views

    We are commanded to worship God alone giving Him the top priority in our lives, and also to honor our parents, if we want God’s blessings to be showered on us. Let’s choose to obey God’s word so we don’t miss out on His blessings

    We are studying in detail about blessings and curses to fathom all that the word of God has to convey about this. There are so many who are held down by several curses that overrule their lives thereby not being able to experience the true blessings that God has envisioned for them. As we delve ...read more

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 26, 2025
     | 644 views

    The Parable of the Good Samaritan is familiar to all of us. However, if we study this from a deeper spiritual angle, we will understand God’s greater plan for us as individuals who believe in Him and His purpose for the church at large.

    As we continue our study on the church, for today’s meditation we will study this portion of scripture found in the Gospel of Luke chapter 10. We read in Luke 10:30-35, “To answer this question, Jesus said, “A man was going down the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Some robbers surrounded him, tore ...read more

    When something was too heavy for us to lift, it was a policy at my work that anything over 50 lbs. was to have a two-man lift. This way the heavy object could be lifted without injury! Prayer is similar at times!
