Christians Who Ask God For What He Has Already Given
There once was a young man whose father had given him millions in a trust fund, but because of a tragic, sadly pathetic psychological condition, he could never remember it, and he saw himself as someone very poor. This young man, Christian was his name, made matters worse by daily sending letters, emails, and texts to his dad asking him for loans, and when his dad did not respond in the way he expected, he tried not to become bitter about it. It was tough for Christian, because in his mind, he was doing all he could to respect his dad, yet though he’d never want to accuse his kind…

Is this God’s doing? Is all well and…

Bible Study: 1 Corinthians 1:1-2 – Audio
This is a recording from a Bible study Friday May 12, 2017 on lessons learned from the first two chapters of First Corinthians.

What Manner of spirit are you of?
It’s no secret that the Christian faith has splintered into thousands of denominations and sub-groups, each effectively saying God has shown them how to live and express their faith. Beyond this, how people’s characters come across varies immensely, and this article will also look at that, particularly in this day where so many express themselves in ways that do not always represent God in them. The original apostles tried to prevent schismatic conditions, instead advocating “unity of the spirit,” and so today – with us taking a pivotal phrase spoken by Jesus from Luke 9:55 – a core question is “what manner of spirit” are you of? Jesus asked this…
