    Losing God In Religion Series

    We lose God when we emphasize a ritual or object over and above our relationship with God. Don't expect God's blessings without repentance.

    During a service at an old synagogue, when a particular prayer was said, half the congregants stood up and half remained sitting. The half that was seated started yelling at those standing to sit down, and the ones standing yelled at the ones sitting to stand up. The new rabbi didn't know ...read more

     | 544 views

    Our God is a holy God and we as His children are called to be a people ‘set apart’ for the Lord. Success is ours when we choose to walk in holiness, and failures are times when we must take stock of our lives to see where we have failed.

    The promise of God as given to us at the onset of this year was from Act 11:21 “And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.” (KJV) As we meditated and studied on the various aspects of the Hand of God, we realized that God’s hand protects us, His ...read more

    This is a special day set aside to honor our mothers, and grandmothers, because we love them so deeply.

    Often a mother’s assignment in life is very difficult. Now if anything negative can be said about mothers, it would be about the names they give their children.

We learned that we must be sure of hearing God's voice and not the voice of the enemy because there are many voices out there trying to get our attention. We had to reject other unfamiliar voices ...read more
