Jesus Christ gave us the Eight Beatitudes in the Sermon on the Mount, recorded for all posterity in the Gospel of Matthew, the first Book of the New Testament of the Bible. Matthew’s Gospel was directed to an audience steeped in Hebrew tradition. The Gospel of Matthew stressed that Jesus is the Christ or Messiah foretold in Hebrew Scripture, our […]

Prayer is one of the ways by which we communicate with God to get closer in our daily walk with Him. Through the power of prayer, we gain deeper knowledge of His word. Behold! I am doing a New thing. Isaiah 43:19 When: SEPTEMBER 16-22, 2019 Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold I […]

Massed at the starting line, the crowd of runners all looked identical. But this wasn’t your standard 5K. Instead, researchers wanted to test both speed and navigational ability as competitors wound their way through a maze, […]

I entered my pastor’s office in a heated fury. I was newly converted and had suddenly realized that the prosperity gospel is a lie. I roared with rookie passion, “I’m going to do something about this prosperity-gospel deception!
