Sin Kills

Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Apr 20, 2021

Temptation is common to all human beings. It is a result of the desires that lingers in our hearts. It draws us away from God's principles and fall into sin. This leads to spiritual death as we become separated from God.

TEXT: James 1:14-15 NLT "Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death." TEMPTATIONS WILL COME You will be tempted over and over again. These temptations arise ...read more

Who Is Your True Mother?

Contributed by Malcolm Rogers on Apr 14, 2016

Where are our true origins? We can only be free from death and law and the need to justify ourselves when we realise that our real mother is not from this world, but that we are children of the heavenly Jerusalem, of the promise of God

Paul writes, ‘The other woman corresponds to the Jerusalem above; she is free and she is our mother’ (Galatians 4.26) It is strange language. Why not ‘home’? It would make more sense But when Paul talks about ‘our mother’, he is speaking of our origins. Our ...read more

Grooooan! Creation Groans, The Spirit Groans, We All Groan. Series

Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Jul 26, 2017

History is full of turning points. In Romans 8, Paul tells us that we still suffer from the turning point that happened in the Garden of Eden. However, history's greatest turning point, the death and resurrection of Jesus, is undoing the effects of that

One of the unique things about history is being able to look back and to see the moments and turning points in which everything changed. It is neat to see how some of the smallest, and seemingly unimportant events, at a certain moment in time, had a bigger significance than anyone would have ...read more
