Gifts And Laws And Pharisees

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 2, 2022

Many gifts but only One Source.

Saturday of 22nd Week in Course When somebody asks me how I am, I almost always answer, “grateful.” One of the big reasons I do that is what St. Paul teaches in our epistle today: “What do you have that you did not receive?” I know that any talent or other asset I have is a divine gift. And any ...read more

Godliness Is Profitable In All Things

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Indrani Baboolal on Sep 7, 2022

Service With Love

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 9, 2022

That more excellent way is the exercise of the gifts in agapē.

St John Chrysostom Jesus seems to have had a special place in His Sacred Heart for widows and orphans.

Espirituwal Na Pagbinggi. Series

Contributed by James Dina on Dec 28, 2021

Mapalad ang mga may tainga na nilinis, nilinis, at binuksan ng Panginoon upang marinig nito ang banal na tawag; ngunit walang pagpapala para sa Kristiyano na ang espirituwal na mga tainga ay hindi aktibo.

Espirituwal Na Dumbness Series

Contributed by James Dina on Jan 5, 2022

Walang mga tao ang gumagawa ng napakahusay na mangangaral na gaya ng mga dating pipi. Kung bubuksan ng Panginoon ang kanilang mga bibig, iisipin nilang hindi sila maaaring mangaral nang madalas, at sapat na taimtim, upang makabawi sa kasamaang ginawa nila noon.

ESPIRITUWAL NA DUMBNESS “At dinala nila sa kaniya ang isang bingi at may kapansanan sa kaniyang pagsasalita; at ipinamamanhik nila sa kaniya na ipatong ang kaniyang kamay sa kaniya. At siya'y inihiwalay niya sa karamihan, at inilagay ang kaniyang mga daliri sa kaniyang mga tainga, at ...read more

The Church Of Smyrna: Possessing The Wealth Of Heaven (Revelation 2:8-11)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 18, 2023

Within the city of Smyrna, there existed a struggling Christian community undergoing intense and withering persecution. The Lord Jesus came to them with a word of comfort for their dark days. Even though they were poor, they were, in fact, rich beyond imagination.

In our look at the seven churches of Asia Minor described in Revelation, Chapters 2 and 3, we come to the second church the Lord Jesus addresses in terms of testimony and steadfastness to the Gospel. This is the church in the city of Smyrna, which was located about 35 miles north of Ephesus. ...read more

The Church Of Sardis: A Fellowship Taken Off Life Support (Revelation 3:1-6)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 1, 2024

The church at Sardis received not words of commendation from the Lord Jesus Christ, but instead, rebuke and condemnation as well a warning to wake up and strengthen what remains of its effectiveness, testimony, and purpose. Does this describe the church you attend?

The fifth church mentioned in Revelation 2-3 was located in the city of Sardis, fifty miles east of Smyrna and thirty miles southeast of Thyatira. Like the other churches, it was located in western Asia Minor, now known as the nation of Turkey. Sardis was on the major commercial and trade ...read more

God's Protection System

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Jan 7, 2024

The promise of physical protection for the most part is not so much ours in the church age but rather the focus of our protection is God’s spiritual protection against the enemy of our soul. This is the purpose of the Armour of God, God’s Protection System.

We need to see that we are in the last moments of these last day's but our attention needs to be more of what is going on in our heart rather than what is going on around us.
