Seek Honour, Not Evil
(Romans 12:17) The Lord God said in various places that vengeance belongs to Him. It is not for us to seek to avenge ourselves but rather to leave vengeance to the wrath of God. If you are a Christian and have been for any length of time, you will certainly have suffered at the hands…

Oops, I Did It Again
(Romans 7:9-12) No this post is not about the song of the same title by Britney Spears, although she too has succumbed in this human problem as well. She has had a few epic fails that have been splashed all over the media and I feel really sorry for what she has been through. What…

A Way Of Escape
(Acts 25:1-12) One of the promises of The Lord is that He will give us a protection that is not afforded to the people of the world. When the people of the world get into trouble they do not have a safety net to catch them if they fall. But The Lord is the safety…

Alarming News
(Acts 24:22-27) Whenever we speak of Christianity and the teachings of Jesus Christ we call it the “Good News.” And it is very good news for the teachings of the new covenant are the teachings of life. It is through the words of Jesus and his followers who wrote the New Testament that we have…
