Avoiding Conviction
People avoid conviction because they like to live a lie. Our world has been a “Hollywood” world for many years now. The entertainment industry was originally a place for providing entertainment.

Subtile and Slow
Falling away from God is always subtle and slow. It doesn’t happen overnight, although one specific event could be the root cause to our beginning this downward trip. The Devil engineers it to be slow and subtle because he wants it to take hold in our life. If it was sudden, it would be too […]

1 Corinthians 14:36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? The Corinthians were not the only ones to receive the Word of God. Nor were they the only ones to preach the Word of God. They weren’t the “special” ones who received the Word of God. Likewise, […]

Seek to promote men as spiritual leaders
1 Corinthians 14:34-35 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. 35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women […]
