True Repentance Series

Contributed by Norest Hoko on Sep 20, 2025

One day in my study I read and and pondered on the verse of Scripture, John 3:1-3 , Where a Pharisee Nicodemus went to Jesus to confirm that truly Jesus was sent from God.What surprised me was Jesus' reply that "no man unless he is born again will see the kingdom of God"

I’ve been reflecting on a powerful truth: two men can receive the same divine revelation, yet have completely different spiritual conditions. This is strikingly illustrated in the lives of two very different people: Peter, a simple fisherman, and Nicodemus, a highly educated teacher of the Jewish ...read more

True Repentance

Contributed by Donna Kazenske on Mar 3, 2005

Have you ever been caught in the act of sinning against God? Did true repentance follow the exposure or were you just sorry that you got caught? Sorrow in and of itself is not repentance. I believe many in the body of Christ today have been sorry for si

When God Turns On The Light

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Oct 14, 2025

Real Repentance

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Nov 7, 2021

Repentance means change. What was I doing before I repented? What kind of life was I leading before? And how will things be different now? That’s not a one-time question, but it’s asked day after day. What shall we do? We bear fruit, for the glory of the God who saved us.

It’s a great privilege, being a minister of God’s Word. Yet preaching is a difficult job. What makes it hard is not really the years of study beforehand.
