Have you ever feared bad news? Someone, such as your doctor, lawyer, boss, wanted to meet up with you, and you became apprehensive about the meeting? There seems to be a lot of those these days. I’ve had my share of those as well… But if we believe that God is our Father and we […]

Driving Out the Old Life

Since you became a Christian, what have you driven out of your life that is ungodly? “Driven out” as in things or habits or relationships that were not in line with the gospel. And if you did drive them out, how completely have you driven them out of your life? This could be your old […]

Anyone Without Trouble?

by PH

Is it me or are we surrounded by people with problems? Perhaps it comes with my job – being a pastor- but I do not know a single person who doesn’t have a problem. I get calls several times a week of people telling me their problems. Of course, their problems range in severity, but […]

As1 Devotional – Shaming the Devil

by LD

Good morning everyone, Colossians 2:13-15: And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands.
