God's Peace

Contributed by Reggie Corfield on May 23, 2025

Christians will always find themselves in continuous conflict with demonic powers that seek to steal, kill and destroy. Destroying our peace is paramount and while the world cannot restore our peace, our God can.

Call To Wake Up

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024

Each generation of Christians is the seed of the next, and degenerate seed is sure to produce a degenerate harvest; not a little better than but worse than the seed from which it sprang.

Steps For Exercising The Gifts Of The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024

We should make sure they are from the Holy Spirit and not our own will and determination. If we don’t have the fruit of the Spirit, but have the fruit of the flesh, then we really need to question, the source of our “gift.”

Since you probably can’t do everything you’re asked to do, how do you decide which opportunities for service are best suited for you? Many will be able to relate ...read more

Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem … to die … when He received word that His friend, Lazarus, was sick. Jesus’ reaction was strange.
