    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 1, 2025
     | 492 views

    The Bible is not an ordinary book; it is God’s inspired Word to mankind. It is a spiritual compass, a manual for righteous living, and a powerful tool that shapes the lives of those who study and apply it.

    WHY WE READ THE BIBLE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works." — 2 Timothy ...read more

    Why Do We Worship?

    We worship God because (1) He Commands it, (2) He is worthy of it, and (3) because it is for our own Good.

    Why do we worship God? (Topical) 1. God wants us to worship him! Ex. 23:25-26 A. God wants us to worship him because He is worthy (Rev. 4:11). It is just, right, and good that God be worshiped. Reality itself dictates, demands, and expects it; creation worships God apart from humankind (Psalm ...read more

    No matter which direction you turn, it won't take long to come across someone who is suffering. And the common question that is asked in the midst of that suffering is, why me? Unfortunately, many individuals never get past those words.

    Today we're going to try to answer the question why do we suffer. The very first class that I was able to take in seminary was entitled the problems of evil and suffering. That class raised the same question that we're going to try to answer today. Why do we suffer? No matter which ...read more
