    Beloved Saints, the attacks on our faith are designed to conform us into the image of God’s Son, making us to become humble servants because they teach us to learn how to apply the truth of God’s word in greater ways to our situations, therefore God's love is without question toward his people.

    In the eighteenth chapter of John's gospel, we are presented with the beginnings of the sufferings that the Lord Jesus would undergo for the sake of our redemption, paying a debt He did not owe for fallen humanity who could never pay it.

    Several years ago, I came across a televangelist who peddled the ungodly "word-of-faith", or "prosperity" gospel that is poisoning the body of Christ in these last days. One of the "sales pitches" (and that is the only means by which I can define it) these folks ...read more

    There are only two possible ways you can approach God - with belief or unbelief. You either believe God, or you don’t believe him. You either put faith in Christ, or you don’t put faith in Christ. You only come to Him by faith in Jesus Christ, or you don’t come to Him at all.

    A word we don't like is submission. We certainly don't like it when we feel as if we're being wronged somehow. “Submission” is the key ingredient that enables a Christian to live a good life among the ungodly!

And they will address the question, “what lessons did we learn from all of this?” And I’m confident that much of that will be helpful. Looking ...read more
