    Sarah Laughed

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,262 views

    Sarah Laughed in unbelief, but God transformed her unbelief, changing her laughter to the expression of joy. God longs to transform the one who is honest before Him.

    “[The angels charged with the destruction of Sodom] said to [Abraham], ‘Where is Sarah your wife?’ And he said, ‘She is in the tent.’ The LORD said, ‘I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife shall have a son.’ And Sarah was listening at the tent door behind him. ...read more

    Ang pag-unawa sa tawag ni Abraham at ang pangakong natupad ay mahalaga sa pag-unawa sa layunin ng Diyos sa kasaysayan. Ang kasukdulan ay nasa kaganapan ng panahon sa pagdating ng ating Tagapagligtas na si Jesucristo.

    Sa Genesis kabanata 12 ang Diyos ay nakikitungo sa isang partikular na grupo ng mga tao. Ito ay isang pagbabago ng diin. Genesis Kabanata 1-11 Ang Diyos ay nakikitungo sa tao sa pangkalahatan.

     | 334 views

    When your lineage has been erased and rewritten, rehappened, reformed, and restructured in such a way that you don’t know who you are and when you don’t understand who you then you will try to assimilate to what others think you ought to believe you to do.

    Understanding Who You Are Your Identity in God By Bishop Melvin Maughmer, Jr. Part 2 Prayer: - Last week I laid the foundation of this lesson establishing the fact that Black People, especially the so-called Arican Americans have very little to no understanding or a total misunderstanding of who ...read more

    based on 17 ratings
     | 4,141 views

    Mothers (or parents) communicate an atmosphere as much as they communicate specific ideas; we as children cannot rid ourselves of that atmosphere, good or bad. But faith in God can lift us to a new self-esteem.

    Just about everybody has a story that involves Mom’s voice. Just about anyone can tell you something distinctive about the things Mother used to say. We can remember not only what she said, but also the way she said it, the tone of voice she used. It’s surprising how many of us can remember ...read more

    Do we spend too much time trying to resurrect what God has already taken from us? The children of Israel face the tough decision to go forth! What about you?

    Christians really should be careful what they watch, and what they let their children watch. Don’t fall prey to the evil one’s schemes. You may think it’s entertainment, but is it really?

    The Bible has much to say concerning the end time, and the conditions that would characterize the last days. Paul told Timothy that perilous, dangerous times would come. But in his description of those dangerous times, he does not mention the expected, such as wars, rumors of wars, nation ...read more

    Doing things the smart way don’t cost half as much as doing things the dumb way. Just as the children of Israel. Best lessons are learned while in the wilderness. Let’s see why!
