    The cross reveals the holiness and the sinfulness of man, Christ resurrection is the bud of promise and our resurrection is the flower of fulfillment, so the most rewarding end of life is to know the life that never ends.

Deny himself, 2. Take up his cross on daily basis. 3. Follow ...read more

    This morning I want to begin by giving you my thesis: A mother can make a significant spiritual impact on her children with or without the help of a father.

    Mothers Who Love On this day that we honor mothers, its good for us to think about how much you really do. Being a mother is not a walk in the park… By the time a child reaches 18, a mother has had to handle some extra 18,000 hours of child-generated work. In fact, women who never have children ...read more
