Follow Me To A Great Catch

Contributed by Craig Condon on Jul 13, 2015

God shook up Peter because he wanted to shake up the world. He can also shake all of us up so he can shake up the world-and boy does it ever need to be shaken up. When we obey God, we will become fishers of men.

The story of Jesus teaching from the boat in Luke 5:1-11 occurs early in his earthly ministry. He preached to the crowd, and then he asked Peter to do something that did not make sense to Peter.

Steps To Protect Our Families

Contributed by S. R. Manohar on Jan 2, 2019

Through JESUS Christ every family is restored and protected. It is God's will that before the coming of Lord Jesus Christ all the families should be restored to their original form i.e., how Adam and Eve were in their love, understanding and walk with God.

But the Bible says, “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him ...read more
