When we commit our life to Christ we are given the Holy Spirit to lead us, to teach and to guide us (Eph 1:13-14). What many people do not realize is there is a difference between the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and being filled with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is given to [...]
If you believe that you are saved because you stood up one day and spoke with your month “Jesus is my Lord and Savior” without it coming from the heart, you have a false sense of assurance. If you believe you are saved because you are a good person and do nice things, you have [...]
Many people ask where to start when reading the bible. My response without hesitation is the New Testament. I thought I could read the bible like a book, from beginning to end, old to new; but I soon realized that it was quite disturbing without knowing about our savior Jesus. We have four gospels (good [...]
Jesus said, ‘If you can Believe all things are possible for them who believe’; ‘You will see the glory of God if you Believe’; Mark 9:23 and John 11:40. Do we really believe that ‘all things are possible’? Or have we calibrated our mind to think based on Human LOGIC? Do we think it is [...]

Many of these women got involved in relationships because they were lonely and believe that they are missing out if there is not a man in their [...]
‘I’m a ‘SINFUL’ man. The ‘SINS’ of my Youth were plentiful. I may not have done serious crimes, but I had hateful thoughts, anger and bitterness and resented certain people. Now I want to be a ‘GOOD person’, a ‘good father’, ‘good husband’, ‘respectable family/community elder/leader’. So today, I go make several offerings (burnt offering, [...]
Pride - Proverbs 18:12 “Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor”. Pride destroys relationships and is a stronghold that God hates. I have never understood how it is better to hold on to pride than to have humility. If someone you respect, or love, tell you that you have [...]
