Growth is a spiritual gift (Eph. 4:16)

The Christian walk is absolutely thrilling, pleasant and full of energy. It is a safe walk and is joy un-speakable. We are walking with the Lord and it is His presence that makes all the difference. Even though we may encounter hidden snares and walk an unfamiliar path there is no fear of getting lost. We are never on our own as Jesus is accompanying us. Jn 10:11, 14, 15 Jesus died for us and knows his own.

Walking behind the Lord:

Jn 10:4 And when he puts forth his own…

Many Christians choose not to observe Halloween. As one of the most popular holidays in our culture—for some more celebrated than Christmas—it can present a challenge for Christian families, especially when children are involved. Although I won't discuss here all the "whys" and "why nots," and what the Bible says about Halloween, I will offer some fun and practical alternatives to enjoy this year with your…

CHRISTIANS SHOULD NOT BE CELEBRATING THE TRADITION OF HALLOWEEN?

"Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes." Song of Solomon 2:15

Foxes sometime in search of food would enter into the grape orchards and devour the grapes and spoil the crop. However, the little foxes were too small to reach the grape bunches so they would chew on the vines and it would kill the whole vine. Instead of the farmer just losing his crop,…

"13 I was right on the cliff-edge, ready to fall, when God grabbed and held me [Psalm 118:13, The Message]."

Rage-filled and loathing self, I was in a battle and determined to destroy myself. Not the self. My entire being. I did not know Christ within me, the Hope of glory! In my own eyes, I was evil. Unable to control my temper, ashamed, and drowning in a sea of self-created guilt and pity, I wanted out. I stepped to the precipice…

Jesus was all about truth. He said of himself, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life…”1 and “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”2



So, the truth is that Christianity has an image problem. Huh, funny thing, I googled that line, ‘Christianity has an image problem’, and look what came up:

I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, and keep his commands, decrees and laws.DEUTERONOMY 30:16

"Why do you call me Lord,Lord and do not do what I say? As for those who come to me and hear my words and put them into practice, I will show you what they are alike. They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on the rock, when a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it because it was well…

1Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 

Worship is our deepest active expression of our love towards God. It is defined as regard with great honor or devotion.

It involves the giving of ourselves totally to the Lord. As Romans 12:1 says ..... offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-This is your…

I believe what you are today is the result of your decision yesterday, and what you will be tomorrow depends on the decision you gonna make today!

In John 14:1 Jesus is telling us not to worry but to trust in God, to trust in him the verse says > "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.(Jesus)<.

I strongly believed that when God says it he does it. So when he ask us to trust him, then why doubt, why worry, TRUST God! And stop worrying. Worry…

Valuable Things

A young man learns what's most important in life from the guy next door. It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, girls, career, life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.
