Should We Continue to Celebrate?
There is no doubt that our political independence is worth celebrating every year. We have come a long way regarding self-determination and freedom and making our own decisions, whether foolish or wise. However, we must stop and evaluate what we have accomplished, what we are accomplishing, and what we hope to accomplish in the future. We have made some commendable […]

Prayer Warriors Are Power Brokers
“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak” (Mat. 26:41). The weakness of the flesh is exemplified in Israel’s battle against the Amalekites in Exodus 17. Despite Moses’ strong spirit, the battle would have been lost if Aaron and Hur had not lifted his hands, which had become […]

PASTORAL LETTER: Exposition of ECWA Articles of Faith and Practice. Exploring The Meaning and Depth of Salvation.
Jesus answered and said to him ”Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” ”Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” Jn.3:3,5. Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, […]

You Are God’s Mobile Prayer House
The temple that Solomon built in Jerusalem was, as I term it, God’s residence here on earth. People went there to worship and pray. When Jesus encountered merchants who turned the temple into a supermarket, he drove them. He declared, Is it not written: My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made […]

It Takes Two to Tango. Don’t Be the Second Person!
What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? (Jam. 4:1). The desires that lead us into conflict and destroy our relationships with God and one another are “the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life (1 John 2:16). We have an attitude of entitlement […]

God’s Schedule for You to Pray!
Obstacles! Obstacles!! Obstacles!!! We meet obstacles every day and in every sphere of our lives. No one, no family, and no nation is immune from obstacles. The desert and the Red Sea were obstacles to the Israelites fleeing from Pharoah (Exo. 14). Goliath was an obstacle as the Israelites fought the Philistines (1 Sam. 17). Religious leaders were obstacles to […]

The Most Endangered Species on Earth
Help, Lord, for the godly are no more; the faithful have vanished from among men. The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men (Ps. 12:1, 8). The most endangered species on earth today are godly men and women – people who have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, love Him, and walk compromisingly in His […]

An Invitation to Holiness
But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: Be holy, because I am holy (1Pt. 1:15-16). Many Christians believe in misconceptions about holiness rather than in its possibility, as God commanded us. We think that holiness is the preserve of a few elite spiritual leaders, that it is […]

The Choice Each of Us Must Make
Two personalities are interested in you, and each of them desperately wants you to serve them. The two personalities are God and Satan. God and Satan are not in competition with each other since Satan is a creature of God and under the power of God, but each of them is competing for your soul. God, who created you, has […]

We Must Tell What Christ Has Done For Us
Jesus … said, “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” Mark 5:19 The story of the demonic-possessed man in Mark 5 could be the story of each of us. God, in His mercy, delivered us from the different situations we were enslaved […]

Why Are Christians Imposing Their Beliefs and Morality on Others?
As postmodernity and humanism take center stage, Christians, especially in nations that were once majority Christian are frequently accused of imposing their values or beliefs on others. Such accusations are unheard of in countries that deny their citizens freedom of religion. Morality is defined as “Standards about what is right, or wrong, good or evil,” crossing such lines attracts reproof. […]

Where Do Suffering and Bad Things Come From?
Only one Creator created everything that exists, including Satan, the architect of all evil. “When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider this: God has made the one as well as the other (Ecc. 7:14). I “form the light and create darkness; I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the Lord, do all these things” (Isa. […]

God Does Not Play Foolery
The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” Ps. 14:1a Chambers dictionary defines a fool as someone without wisdom, judgment, or sense.
