Keep The Marriage Intact Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jul 5, 2022

Divorce is a concession and not God's original intent. If separated, remain as we are. Do not initiate divorce even if your spouse is an unbeliever. Stay and bless the marriage and family, by the working of God's grace through you.

The word “intact” is beautiful, it means “not damaged or impaired in any way.” • Keep the marriage intact, so that the marriage union is not damaged or impaired in any way. Keep it intact and complete. From chapter 7 onwards Paul was answering the questions raised by the Corinthians in a letter ...read more

Blinded By Darkness

Contributed by Mike Reed on Jul 4, 2014

We commonly associate temporary blindness with bright light, such as looking directly into the sun. It seems strange, then, to read a scripture which tells us that we can be blinded by the darkness! Darkness makes the eyes more alert, more receptive.

Jane Barnell grew up to become the famous Lady Olga, the bearded lady of the circus. She had a thick beard hanging 13 and a half inches, and also a large mustache. The ...read more

A Prayer For God’s Will

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022

When it comes to praying for God’s will, we often find ourselves at a loss for words. Perhaps, the way to make the greatest impact is to ask for a blessing; to pray for the spiritual and material resources we need to enlarge the kingdom.

I’ve entitled our message this morning “A Prayer for God’s Will.” When we think of God’s will we often have in mind how the Lord wants to use us for His glory; how God wants to include us in His plans and work through us to make an impact for the kingdom. But when it comes to praying for God’s ...read more
