It is often said that the company you keep shapes the person you will become. This is true of spending time with your friends and family and true of our time with Christ. Scripture says In Acts, something remarkable about Peter and John, while they were boldly testifying about Christ, something caused the authorities to […]
On this international women’s day, my mind ran on two of my female inspirations my mom and my sister. My older sister and I had quite a few heated confrontations while growing up. Our clashes could last for days. But every day when dinner time rolled around, we had to at least stop yelling and […]
God’s reason for love is given in 1 John 4:19: “We love Him because He first loved us.” Our love for God is based upon what He has done for us in Christ, and because He has poured out His Holy Spirit on us. But what is interesting about the command to love God is that […]
After dealing with 4 deaths in 4 days I have concluded this is a hard season. We all face challenges and obstacles. We all have dreams in our hearts, and at times, it looks like they may not come to pass. When this happens, we have a choice. We can get negative and discouraged and […]
Warning! Today we’re going to talk about porn which the devil is using to attack youth and adults. How? Because we all have access to phones, computers and Tablets which can access the internet at any time. That opens a huge opportunity for porn to become a part of your life. As a young man, […]
Do you ever have those days of despair? Maybe you feel sad for no reason or are stressed out with the cares and concerns of life, to the point where you wonder if you can go on. That’s where today’s Bible verse comes in. Praise is one of the best things to do when you […]
Monsters aren’t just in movies or video games, we can deal with monsters in our personal lives too. They can appear out of nowhere and create all kinds of destruction. Yes, they might not be destroying buildings and hurting people, but they are dangerous. If we don’t stop the monsters in our lives, they can […]
Sometimes the hardest thing for me to do is accept correction. When I was younger, I didn’t like admitting I was wrong. Especially if I had to admit that in front of others. Can you relate to feeling that way? Correction isn’t something we love. However, if you’re corrected by your manager, parents, teachers, or […]
The most difficult thing to do in pre-marital counselling is to have couples understand submission. The word submission has become a very emotional word for many people. Often, we resist submitting our lives to one another because we fear we will be hurt or let down. However, when we follow God’s plan for submission, the […]
Did you know that God’s love is amazing and powerful? It binds up all our emotional and spiritual wounds. If you’re feeling weak today, God’s love says, “You are valuable. I treasure you. Whatever is wrong in you, I can make it right.” Do you think you are unworthy? God’s love says, “I made you; […]
This week during the revival in Darlington many responded to the appeal to give their lives to God. We had to remind them that, the moment they receive Christ, He transfers their citizenship to the Kingdom of heaven, and this is their ultimate identity. But even though we Christians no longer have our identity in […]
One of the roles of godly parents is to teach compassion for others. Job trained his children to be generous, hospitable, responsible, kind, and considerate and to be leaders in building up others and the community in unity and harmony. This does not mean Job taught his children to compromise for the sake of agreement, […]
This week while doing a revival in Darlington, I’m staying in the farm area of Cumbria in the north of England. One of the things that excite the farmers are when the first crop of the season ripens. The farmer has diligently prepared the fields, sown the seeds, and tended the seedlings. If the first […]
In context, 1 Corinthians 13 is not really about romantic love. The passage can only be properly understood when we read it in light of what came before it and what comes after it. Both chapters 12 and 14 deal with the proper role and use of spiritual gifts, and the chapter between them reminds […]
The government of Christ’s day turned its back on Him. The Jews repudiated Him. Those who gathered for His crucifixion jeered at Him, and many of His friends, who had been with Him for three years of ministry, abandoned Him, going into hiding after His arrest. Satan is still at work in our world today, […]
In the church of Corinth in the New Testament, the members couldn’t agree on much. They loved division. These Corinthians were in love with their own opinions. Instead of serving each other, they looked for opportunities to stir up dissension. Instead of loving one another, each was looking out for their own interests. The Corinthian […]
