We are not alone, because the creator of this world has called us to live in his house as one of his. When we dwell in his house both here and there… everything ...read more

    Introduction: some of the women who are in the line of Jesus, the Messiah, are well-known. Some are mentioned only by name and others aren’t mentioned at all. Regardless, the Lord knows each one of them—by name—and allowed each one to be part of His plan to bring salvation to a lost and dying ...read more

    Paul encourages the Corinthians believers and reminds them of God's gifts and grace that He bestowed on them.

    The name Jesus Christ is mentioned ten times in the first ten verses of 1 Corinthians. I think Paul did this because he wanted the minds of the Corinthian believers to be immediately centered upon Jesus Christ. He knew that the answer to the Corinthian problems didn’t lay in his ability ...read more

    Trinity Sunday

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 26, 2018

    Math is not the best way to explain the basic doctrine of the Most Holy Trinity because it uses the approach of trying to explain how three can be one. We all know that “1+1+1=3” but what are we to do when “1+1+1=1?”

    Trinity Sunday The Trinity is the root doctrine of Christianity because it concerns the inner nature of God. In honor of the Most Holy Trinity, we can consider three highlights of (1) the doctrine of the Trinity, (2) eternal salvation by the indwelling of the Trinity, and (3) prayer and ...read more
