Isaiah 61:3 says, “to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.” Isn’t it beautiful that God says […]

Each of the first four books of the New Testament (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) focuses on the Gospel. And if you were a student of the Word and attend Bible study and/or Sunday school, you would know that the Gospel is "good news", that is the life Christ in a different manner. Quite simply […]

We covered in the last post, about how that story of the “Fig Tree” in Mark 11:12-14, can apply to our lives. Lets finish the study. 14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it. 20 And in the morning, as they passed by, […]

I am posting again ya’ll…. God has really been working on me, and I preached this subject. This study is for all the believers, Jesus is examining our lives. We are going to study the Fig Tree in Mark 11: 12-14, 20-21. Typically, every time I hear this scripture taught, faith is the subject. 12 And […]

My endeavor here is to search the scriptures, and understand what Biblical worship is meant. I can say worship, intuitively, is beyond that “experience in church”; but yet it not totally […]

Part of being a good disciple is explaining what we believe and the costs of discipleship. There is a cost associated to being labelled a Christian. One must understand, accept, and count the cost of this path. Intuitively, we know that people can believe in Christ, but not necessarily be a disciple. As disciples, we […]

We have talked about being a Christian, the basics. Its not just professing that you are Christian, others should recognize you as a Christian. They will see your “fruits” of witnessing, evangalizing the gospel, “recruiting” for Christ, being a disciple of Christ, and willing to die for Christ.

The year is now 2014, a brand spanking new year. I pulled out one of my old writings, because I needed to be reminded of a powerful woman, Deborah. What does it mean to be a powerful woman of God? Let’s begin with the word powerful: Powerful – adjective having or exerting great power or […]

Winter times, especially the Christmas and New Year holidays can cause havoc on emotions. We as Christians being humans will experience all kinds of assaults, which may not make us happy, but we can have joy. The scripture we will use comes from 1 Peter 1:6-9: 6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a […]
