     | 1,048 views

    Why do we remind ourselves of the coming of Jesus? I always wondered that as a child. The reason is very simple: The cares of this world, job, college, family, and the various pleasures of life can crowd out the true center of our lives, which is Jesus.

    We can either live for Jesus or live for the pleasures of this world. Reading, memorizing, and meditating on God's word is not enough! To draw nearer to the Lord we simply must put His words into action by imitating those who imitate Christ!

     | 2,748 views

    When you grow up in Christ you get a sense of satisfaction from doing His will. You no longer take pleasure in the foolish things you once did, but you rather focus your time, talents, and treasure on things of eternal significance.

    “A fool and mischief. Proverbs 10:23-32 Doing wrong is fun for a fool, but living wisely brings pleasure to the sensible. Prov.10:23 “The term ‘living wisely’ is relative.

    Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Apr 4, 2023
     | 1,538 views

    Sexual pleasure was never created by Satan, but he has hijacked and perverted it to advance his diabolical agendas of destroying mankind. I am taking this much time on this access point because this is one of Satan`s major tripping points against majority of humanity.

    Neither give place to the devil. ( Ephesians 4:27) One of the outstanding trademarks of every form of false religion, cults, occultic, and secret societies, or satanic group is sexual perversion. Sexual perversion is one of Satan`s major access point and weapon of mass destruction. He used it to ...read more

    In today’s world, many Christians are like Lot’s wife—divided in their commitment to God, longing for the pleasures of the world while trying to walk the path of righteousness. The story of Lot’s wife teaches us about the dangers of spiritual complacency, disobedience, and attachment to the past.

    Drawn By Beauty

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Sep 27, 2023

     | 1,682 views

    Where does beauty come from and why are we attracted to it? Why do we as human beings desire to make beautiful creations? The existence of objective beauty points to a God of beauty who loves His creation and desires to give us joy and pleasure.

    Today I will be speaking about how objective beauty points us to the Creator God. We’ll be looking at Psalm 27:4 and Psalm 96:6. One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD and to ...read more

    Three schemes are examined to see Satan’s division and hurt in the human race. The wide net of PLEASURE is first; followed by the corruption of CHRISTMAS and EASTER; followed by what FEMINISM is doing to our world. These might be hot issues but Satan has created the trouble to damn people
