    Doing the ministry may be sometimes frustrating. WHY? Because many Christians do it without efficiency. Here are 4 basic principles on how we can be efficient in our work for the Lord

    INTRODUCTION: Being a servant is vital if we want to be used by God. The word servant is not something negative as what the world has somewhat implanted to our minds, but rather being a servant is actually the best state a Christian could ever become. Why? Let me share to you three reasons ...read more

    It is a prominent feature in our lives and our memories. A place of safety. A place of provision. It's "The Porch!"

    The Porch Pt. 3 - Porch Parties In a Norman Rockwell like way Jesus crafts the account that for centuries has been lauded for its depth and for its truth. Close your eyes and see if you can recreate the scene in your mind. Peering down the hillside you see the homestead. Surrounded by a strong ...read more

    There are a lot of jokes about growing old. For example, it has been said:

    We're over the hill but don't feel sad This side of the hill ain't all that bad. So give us "five" and then a smile To us who have been here for awhile. With by-pass pain and mended hip And plumbing fixtures prone to drip; We all may seem a sorry lot, But we rejoice for what ...read more

    The Return Of The Prodigal

    The fifteenth chapter of Luke gives us a wealth of information about a certain Jewish family.

    For example, we know from this scripture: • “A certain man had two sons.” (v. 11) • The younger son seemed to be a problem child. Look at verse 12. We read, “And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me...” • -The younger son was ...read more

    The resurrection of Christ is the most important topic of the Bible. It is not one of the most important, but THE MOST IMPORTANT topic of the Bible.

    The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the crowning proof of Christianity. Everything else that was said or done by Christ and the Apostles is secondary in importance to the resurrection. That is: • If the resurrection DID NOT take place, then Christianity is a false religion. • ...read more

    Chaos In Chaotic Times – This Is Our World Now Series

     | 2,642 views

    The minds of politicians generally, and of public/civil servants and advisors, are so scarred by God-rejection, and humanism, and demonic influence, that they are incapable of knowing the mind of God in decency, honesty and moral effectiveness in decision making. Chaos is here.

    CHAOS IN CHAOTIC TIMES – THIS IS OUR WORLD NOW There is a hymn that I hope is still sung despite all the inferior stuff that today passes as church music, and here is the first stanza – God, whose almighty word CHAOS and darkness heard, And took their flight: Hear us, we humbly pray, And where ...read more

    Ephesians 5:1-2, 8-14 “Imitators of God” INTRODUCTION Is faith a verb or a noun? Most of us would identify “faith” as a noun.

    Job 32:7 The Voice of Days In the discussion between Job and his three friends, Elihu was present, but though by far the wisest man, he remained quiet.
