This is one of the reasons why the Spirit is grieved and there has been much corruption and deterioration in the lives of God’s people.

  • God is Not Afraid of Process  By : Paula Marolewski
    When we look at our sin-riddled human nature, the call to holiness can seem beyond our reach. The good news is that God does not ask that we tackle every area of sin and weakness in our lives at once. Sanctification happens step-by-step. God is not afraid of process.
  • Answers vs. Wisdom  By : Paula Marolewski
    I often find myself praying, “Lord, tell me what to do!” or “Is this course of action that I’m considering right or wrong? Just tell me!” But I have finally realized that this is not the best kind of prayer, and, in many instances, is not even an appropriate kind of prayer.
  • A Light Unto My Path  By : Paula Marolewski

    1 Thessalonians 4:3-4

    For this is the will of God, even your sanctification that ye should abstain from fornication. That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour.

    One of the most common questions asked among Christians is, " How can I know the will of God?" I'm happy that I can answer that question with certainty. God's will is that we give thanks continually (1 Thessalonians 5:18). God's will is that none should perish but that all should come t

  • The Craddle and the Cross  By : Ransomed ransom
    In our seasonal approach to Christmas, we stop short of the ultimate purposes of Christ’s birth for us. And it is here that in a biblical way, Christmas becomes totally ineffective for us. We begin to celebrate Christmas as a mere sociological habit without there really being any biblical or spiritual content in it. This is impotent Christmas because it ‘fails’ to achieve for us what it was actually meant to do for us in the very first place. This impotency of our Christmas celebrations is of co

With the advent of cyber porn, the trap has only expanded engulfing more and becoming more potent with an increasing number of Christians being sucked away into its dark abyss by the day.

  • Can Christians Walk Together When They Don’t Agree?  By : Rick D. Wynn
    God is not a respecter of persons, but a respecter of the heart. If this is God’s perspective of us, then should our perspective of one another be any less? As Christians, we often develop friendships because we can agree in our personal understanding concerning Scripture and biblical interpretation, but what happens when we don’t agree? Can we love despite our disagreements? In other words, do we base our relationships upon our intellectual understanding or God's unconditional love?
  • Being preceds doing:A call to sanctification preceeds a call to christian ministry  By : Ransomed ransom
    The biblical position on the “being versus the doing equation” is that when God calls a person He chooses for His work, He first addresses the issue of his ontology, his being, the person he is on the inside, recreates it and then goes on to commission him to the task of Christian ministry. The sequence is: ‘being’ (ontology) first, ‘doing’ second.
  • Okay They're Saved, Now What? (an excerpt from "It's Not About You" vol.2)  By : Rick D. Wynn
    In the home, we protect our children the best we know how and teach them properly early in child rearing because we know that if we fail to do so, danger lurks around every corner to ambush that child. Spiritually, we are neglecting the young in Christ. They are being left on their own to fend for themselves. Because they lack in knowledge and understanding, they fall away from Christ in great numbers. Souls are getting saved, but few are being trained up and discipled.
  • 60 Dollars and Faith-A Sunday Morning Lesson  By : idea coach
    It is Sunday morning and my husband is leaving the house early to attend Sunday school while I remain home until the start of church. My migraine headache was still throbbing in my head.

  • Commitment  By : Star Ferdinand

  • Spirit-Led  By : Star Ferdinand
    As I sat in the pew Sunday morning, reflecting on Christ’s death, I thought of Terry Rush’s statement that non-Christians and Christians who are not led by the Spirit can exhibit some of the fruit of the Spirit, but it is only Spirit-led Christians who can demonstrate that fruit when times get tough and the heat is turned up. Then, I thought about Jesus being God and having the option of not going to the Cross.

    “Mary, I want you to imagine that the Lord Himself would come and sit beside you at the end of this meeting and say to you, ‘Mary, if you can tell me right now what you perceive to be the greatest need of your life, I will meet that need.’ I wonder what you would say."
  • Effective Helping  By : Star Ferdinand
    Jesus has called us to follow Him. One of the ways we do that is by helping others. He said that the world will know we are His disciples if we have love for one another. If we love our Christian brothers and sisters, we will help them in whatever way we can. But Jesus did not restrict His help to only those of His religious persuasion. He healed Samaritans, Romans, and other Gentiles. As we follow Him, we, too, must reach out to those outside of our spiritual family.
  • What does Jesus see?  By : Ronald McGee
    What does Jesus see when he looks at us? Jesus sees beyond the obvious in people and peers into their true natures. The healing of the paralytic recorded in the gospel of Mark 2:1-12 illustrates the contrast between the way Jesus sees events and the way the world sees them. It also illustrates how Jesus feels about political correctness as it relates to Christian expression.
  • Look to Jesus  By : Star Ferdinand

  • Attitude For Gratitude  By : Henrietta Elegunde
    Grateful people see opportunity to be thankful everyday, regardless. They are optimist that sees opportunities in life challenges. They see change as opportunity to grow. They know that whatever they are going through is just for some time, and that it could be worse. They never torment themselves about what they don’t have. They just keep reaching for the stars. They always win in the end. Gratitude is a choice, and lifestyle. Gratitude is not a feeling.
  • The Heavenly Life Coach - Part 2  By : Henrietta Elegunde
    The Holy Spirit manifests his power through us. When the Spirit is upon us, he can also coach other people through us. He can use us as his vessel of empowerment.

  • The Heavenly Life Coach - Part 1  By : Henrietta Elegunde
    A life coach tries to work through issues holding their client, so that the client can go to the next level in life.

This is the same with the heavenly life coach that is taking us from glory to glory.

  • Unseen prison of life  By : thhan
    Are we facing with any difficulties in our life? At the beginning of each year, we normally would like to lay down all our plans. We got so excited and always, we are determined to execute all our plans. Unfortunately in most cases our determination would only last for the first few months and after that everything would be a history!!! We tend to get frustrated easily and will eventually lack the strength to continue. Such phenomenon will normally continue for many years.
  • Your Future is Now  By : thhan
    Most of the time when we talk about the future, we think that it is something very far away. Maybe this would be true for the young ones. But if you ask an older man, it may not be true. They use to think it that way when they were younger but now they no longer feel it anymore. Time passes quickly. We may not feel it but it is just ticking by everyday. It never stops. It never takes a rest. Before we know it, we already too old.

  • Faith is an act of will, not emotion  By : LeRoy The Tramp
    Paul says we are to give thanks to God for EVERYTHING.
    Well, that's easy when it comes to thanking Him for good things.
    But EVERYTHING? Including all of the evil in the world?
    Including our own difficult circumstances?
    Yes! God has a plan for us. We must yield to Him in all things and let Him mold, shape and perfect us.
    Here is a way to consider this . . .
  • Go to the Other Side  By : Mark Baker
    Starting out with vs. 18. we see Jesus giving a command to depart to the other side. I would like to point out that it wasn’t a suggestion, it wasn’t a general statement of what He thought in His opinion should happen, but a very strong statement given as a command...
  • Our Spiritual Authority  By : Mark Baker
    The subject of authority can sometimes be confusing, so let’s start by defining it. Strong’s Concordance says; privilege, delegated influence: W.E. Vines says this… "power of authority," the right to exercise power. I have heard one definition of authority that says authority is delegated power, and I think that is a very good description. Authority in itself is not power, but the bestowed right to use and yield that power...
  • Tarry With Me  By : Brother Bill
    "And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day..." (Genesis 3:8) God was accustomed to communing with Adam in the garden "in the cool of the day". You and I can return to the "garden". We can pause during the day, draw apart, and have fellowship with the Lord. We can walk with our heavenly Father "in the cool of the day", or anytime we make a decision of our will to set time aside for communion with Him.
  • No Idea  By : Brother Bill
    Wonder...a sense of wonder. Isn't that where we all end up when we consider our God, His creation, the works of His mighty hand? I once had an office mate at work with whom I did this wondering out loud. One day I was talking about one thing in particular that I wondered about when she suddenly burst out with, "Bill, you just wonder TOO MUCH!" Too much? Such a thought had never crossed my mind before! Am I not supposed to wonder, or had I crossed some maximum threshold?
  • Let's Synchronize Watches  By : Brother Bill
    "On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen; all day and all night they will never keep silent. You who remind the Lord, take no rest for yourselves."
    Isaiah 62:6

    Recently I was given an opportunity through which the Lord reminded me about aspects of intercessory prayer which I had forgotten. Perhaps you have been in the place I was and can identify. I admit I am a slow learner when it comes to spiritual matters and need repeated instruction to get it to "sink in."
  • Just As I Am  By : Brother Bill
    "Just as I am, without one plea,
    But that Thy blood was shed for me,
    And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
    O Lamb of God, I come, I come."

    So begins one of the most familiar old hymns. Whether or not you know this hymn, you probably are not familiar with the history of its authorship and the story behind its writing. At least, I know I was not.
