Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 29, 2009

Singing is a matter of skill and practice, but it is only when your spirit is freed that you have a convincing song to sing, only when your life is changed that you have something to share.

What makes it possible for voices like these to sing music like that? Where do they get whatever it takes to sing with such grace and power and beauty? Of course they have been blessed with a good deal of natural skill. Of course these singers are talented, and there’s no substitute for that. And ...read more

Pursue to build and have ‘unity in the body of Christ’ for the Holy Spirit to be work in and through our lives effectively by the operation of the ’Gifts of the Holy Spirit’ which have a profound impact on the lives of others around us.

The Fruit Of The Spirit "Joy" Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Dec 4, 2009

This kind of Joy is really a "cheerful, calm, delight, and Christians should experience this joy more than any other people.

Well, we still have the Joy book, Philippians, fairly fresh in our minds from this winter. And as we talk about Joy as a fruit of the spirit we are talking not so much about jumping up and down for joy like when you win the lottery, though it might be like that I suppose. Sometimes I think people ...read more

Worldly peace never lasts, only the inner peace from our Lord is forever.

Someone once said: “Peace is the brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.” Isn’t that true whether we’re talking about world peace or inner peace? It seems like it never lasts, and when we have it, we tend to expect that it will only be a matter of time before its ...read more

The Fruit Of The Spirit "Faithfulness" Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Dec 4, 2009

The Greek translation of faithful is actually persuasive and trustworthy. How often is the second part missing in the church?

What is the worse thing that can happen in a marriage? Wouldn’t most people agree it is unfaithfulness, having an affair?
