Damaged Faith: Part 2

Here’s the second part of last Sunday’s message from Rosie S. Oneal, a church leader from my hometown. What happens is when your faith is truly damaged, and you don’t allow God to heal you…your faith will be fueled by filth. In other words, it is possible to do the right thing for the wrong…

Damaged Faith: Part 1

This post was written by a church leader, Rosie S. Oneal, from my hometown. I visited Ghana, Africa, earlier this year; And I saw many things while there. I saw that there is something within us that is stronger than any circumstance. When the Word of God talks about God creating us in His image…

Overcoming Difficult People

Matthew 5:10-12 10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward…

You Are Who God Says You Are

God has looked beyond our faults, and seen our every need. He knows our every struggle. He knows our down sitting and our uprising. He knows our thoughts afar off. He knows the very intent of our heart. I am glad that my life and your life are open and naked before Him. In other…

God-Centered Living Brings Peace

Instead of seeing ourselves as the center of existence, we need to turn to God and make Him our central purpose in life. Without God as our center, we fall easy prey to petty worries, self-pity, fears, and anxiety. With God in the center, every area of our life will reach out from the “hub”…

Comfort In Suffering

II Corinthians 1:3-4 3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of…

Qualities Needed In Trials

James 1:19-20 19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. 1:19 The conclusion of the introduction of James (vv.2-18) is that enduring trials leads to a crown of life (v.12) and yielding to…

Don’t Give Up

I am grateful to God, for His Son Jesus, whom God sent into this world to redeem mankind from sin; And reconcile us back to Himself. God’s love for you and I is so great that He has made it possible for our sins to be forgiven; And for us to be placed in right…

No Where To Run, No Where To Hide

Psalm 139:1-6 1 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. 2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O…

Don’t Faint

We are going to be tested as we journey through this life, but don’t faint. Jesus was talked about, so when someone says mean things about us, we need not get “bent out of shape.” Jesus didn’t lose His composure when people criticized Him, so we must not allow our “old sinful nature” to take…
