We use the same mouth to speak a variety of messages. We speak love, anger, disappointment, fear, warning, concern … and many other messages. We are able to speak messages in anger, fear, hatred and many other emotions. Few of us are able to speak different messages from the platform of love. Each time Jesus […]
The Gospel Call and Invitation is plain and simple. How the inner working of the soul responds to God and how the actual call becomes effective in the heart is not comprehendible to man. Take the call and invitation in Isaiah: Isa 55:6 Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near. 7 Let […]
Those wishing to destroy the Christian Church go to extreme lengths to do so. It is remarkable how some people have, over the last 2,000 years tried. Some were individuals and others became religions and still others were nations, yet the Church of God marches on. Jesus said … speaking to Peter about Himself (Jesus) […]
Perhaps you have heard people say of someone … “There is no hope of salvation for that person.” As young teenagers I am certain that was said of us. You see, we belonged to small gangs. We did not really do bad things. No guns and knives. No peddling drugs or stealing. No rape or […]

Ac 8:32 The eunuch was reading this passage of Scripture: “He was led […]
I was in a bank today to ask a few questions about closing my account. There was a teller and a lady at the Help Desk. The lady at the Help Desk was helping a lady, with two men seated waiting to be helped when I arrived. I filled in the register and took a […]
Excitement draws excitement and crowds draw crowds … and in a similar way when people respond to the gospel, those preaching the Gospel become more enthused and continue their evangelism with greater passion and zeal. Acts 8:25 is a transitional verse from one account to another, but an important verse Ac 8:25 When they had testified […]
Some people are attracted to the Christian Church because they feel ministry, especially pastoral ministry is an easy job. From personal experience, being a pastor is taxing, hard labor if the pastor is diligent. It is not a 9 to 5 job! At best it is between 60 to 80 hours a week. It takes […]
The monetary band wagon attracts many who have a lust for riches. There is nothing wrong with money. We all need money to exist. You can’t have a proper life without being able to buy food, clothing, medicine, accommodation, education, etc. That is the way of life and that costs money. You need money and […]
