Persistent Passion

How would you like to go to a church which had a report from God almighty that said: This church works hard; is patient; does not tolerate evil; checks out people who claim to be leaders and teachers and can tell the difference between those who are putting on a show and those who are […]

Act Drunk!

In Acts 2, when people observed Peter and the other disciples after they received the Holy Spirit, they mocked them with “these men are full of wine.” Peter pointed out that it was too early in the day to be drunk, besides, that was not what was going on. When people look at us, they […]

MY RIGHTS? HOW ABSURD!

Be angry! And sin not! Ephesians 4:26 Not so easy, huh? The basic virtue is the fear of God. This is the beginning of all wisdom and the fear of God = passionate hatred of sin and intense thirst and hunger for righteousness. (Proverbs 1:7,Proverbs 8:13, Matthew 5:6) I don’t know about you but every […]
