Family Services For God

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on May 11, 2024

Joshua said, “But for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15 NLT) I want to use this opportunity to inspire parents to view God's service as a shared family endeavor.

Often, Satan sows seeds of discouragement to deter families from serving God. When a parent is actively involved in God's service, questions may arise about why their children should also be deeply involved. For instance, if one parent is a choir leader, gatekeeper, or priest, and one or two of ...read more

Our Change Of Masters

Evil and good, sin and righteousness. If evil seeks to rule man, so also the good spirit. That spirit ...read more
