The Aspects Of Authentic Salvation

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Oct 8, 2023

Salvation does not originate with us. We cannot redeem ourselves because our sinful nature does not want to acknowledge that God alone is the Author and Provider of our salvation as written in the Scriptures.

The Scriptures make it abundantly clear that we are given a set amount of time on this earth, and then face the judgment (Hebrews 9:27). No one, from prince to pauper, will be exempt. We will all give an account of our lives to the Lord Jesus Christ (Luke 12:13-21; John 5:28-29; 1 Corinthians ...read more

Youth With Christ In Action

Contributed by Minister Dachi on Oct 20, 2022

Solomon, who wasted much of his life in folly, perhaps thought better of the matter in his declining days. He contended: “Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near when you will say, I have no pleasure in them” (Eccl. 12:1).

The Language Of Faith

Contributed by Clement Manenga on May 25, 2024

It’s important for us to understand that faith has a language. If we want to be people who walk in faith and believe God for things that goes beyond the natural realm - beyond our 5 senses, then we must learn to operate in the language of faith.

The Bible in 2 Kings chapter 5, introduces us to two characters: the little Jewish slave girl and Naaman the Syrian army commander The Jewish slave girl, could be a former servant of the prophet Elisha.

In Terms Of Eternity

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 11, 2023

The Bible teaches that after death (Hebrews 9:27), we will face judgment and enter eternity, either heaven or hell. Consider what that means and how it should motivate us to spread the Gospel in these last days.

The Bible teaches that from the moment we are conceived, we are destined to live forever (Psalm 61:7; Daniel 12:2; Matthew 25:46: Romans 2:7). The LORD God Almighty saw fit to create us, give us meaning, a purpose, and conscience to use for His glory and our benefit (Psalm 73:25-28; Romans ...read more

God's Message To Us In Christ

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 30, 2023
