    We will be judged on our service to the poor--but do our social systems make it easy or difficult to do so?

    Thursday of 33rd week in course 2015 Joy of the Gospel Two things tie our Scriptures together today. The obvious one is that they are texts written in or about a time of injustice and disaster.

     | 8,537 views

    No one can stand in the way of God and not be punished. Christianity has nothing to do with the magic and superstition of the world. The power of God’s Word and the power of the Holy Spirit overcomes them all.

    Have you ever wondered what is it like to be commissioned by God to do his work in our world? In the reading we heard from Acts, we see an example of one of the earliest ordinations or commissioning services in the church.

  • Gentleness

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Oct 3, 2013
     | 4,630 views

    I must say this, today there is a sadistic and egoistic pleasure in being snobby, overbearing, rude and curt? We have just forgotten to be kind, gentle and pleasant!

    Gentleness… Acts 11:2’And when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision contended with him…’ It is sad that many are skeptical about fasting! Let us not do fasting as a ritual or a religious custom like many do these days without any change in them. Are you ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,457 views

We read “Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 4,607 views

    I have read some farfetched renderings of Genesis 6:4 which range from the "sons of God" being angels to them being "aliens". The Nephilim mentioned in this verse, receive the same kind of treatment.
