Every parent knows the frustrations of working with children that cannot seem to recognize the need for some obvious guidance.

For example, it seems sensible enough to us adults that we should sit down with a child and explain to that child that if he associates with bad company he is going to get into trouble, and that child should avoid bad company like the plague. But, it does not always work that way. You can tell ...read more

The book of Acts is one of the most exciting books of the Bible.

For example, in Acts 16 we see Paul and Barnabas placed in prison.

We want to look again at the importance of following good examples.

We understand the importance, as Christians, of not following the many bad examples that many lost people display in their lives, but NEW CONVERTS do not hear much, or see much, about following the good examples the Bible tells about and the stories of great Christians through the years have set ...read more

There are two ways we can witness for the Lord Jesus.

(1) THROUGH LIFE-STYLE EVANGELISM Perhaps some might be saying, “WHAT IS LIFE-STYLE EVANGELISM?” It is simply living the Christian life in front of the lost in such a Christ-like manner, that the lost will want to know Christ also.

The Thirst Of The Soul - Psalm 63 Part 3 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jun 23, 2025

One attribute of God you won't see in the theology books, even though it is mentioned more often in the Bible than other, more celebrated attributes, is the food-likeness of God. And before you laugh--consider how often God compares himself to food and drink.

Psalm 63:1-5 A Psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah. O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. 2 Therefore I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. 3 ...read more

Who Are The All Souls & All Saints?

Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 14, 2024

All Saints and All Souls are the Church triumphant in Heaven in union with us, the church militant, on earth. There is a deep bond between the two communities, and we join them in Heaven to worship and praise God unceasingly when we come to worship God.

To my understanding, there are three Church festivals that we celebrate grandly, far from knowing what is being genuinely celebrated. They are Christmas, Easter, and Halloween. Out of these three festivals, the most misunderstood and distorted feast is Halloween. We are still fortunate that the ...read more
