    Rom. 15:7-17 shows us several actions that are appropriate and should be expected from the people of God. Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is accept one another and overlook perceived faults.

    There is a space in Christ’s body that only you can fill. Some part of his hand, his eye, or his heart is missing when you are not there

    A couple of weeks ago, I used the image of a jigsaw puzzle to illustrate that the gift of God takes some assembling before it starts to take shape in our lives.

    Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Apr 4, 2023
     | 2,253 views

    Discernment develops in a climate of humility. Suspicion thrives in pride. If your church is filled with pride, competition, and a religious spirit, it will also be filled with suspicion.

    But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. ( Hebrews 5:14) Brethren, we are dealing with a crafty enemy who always desires to keep on fighting the wrong battles. He is so cunning that if you are ...read more

    Some groups put The Pastor on a pedestal as God’s annointed, a spiritual super-star to be admired and honored. In our passage today Paul sarcastically shreds this un-Christlike view of leadership.
