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 […]
Some people have a marvelous salvation testimony. They are able to describe how they walked in darkness and in some way, perhaps through a sermon, book, video, reading the Bible or a testimony were confronted with the Gospel, convicted on their sin, believed, repented and were saved wonderfully. Others again cannot do this. They might […]
The passage that we come to today is rather intriguing because if the Pharisees, Sadducees and Scribes (Teachers of the Law) could not understand that it pointed to God’s Messiah and His salvific work, how would a foreigner who worshipped the Hebrew God? 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 […]
As teeny boppers and then early teenagers, our fancies, desires and attractions shifted from one thing to another, depending on importance and interest. I was a committed soccer player, traveling on bicycle twice a week to practice and retuning in the dark with games on Saturdays. Then suddenly my interest shifted to rugby. When I […]
It has become extremely difficult to distinguish between the true Church of God and the false Church because as Jesus warned, there will be weeds growing with the wheat. Our Lords teaches the following parable … Mt 13:24 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in […]
Have you noticed how the “out of the ordinary” tends to draw people? They see or hear and come looking! A few weeks back when a Bolt driver drove into my car, there were no witnesses, but within a minute and a half a “tow truck” was at the scene. The must have heard the […]
