What Does God Require Of US?!
From a Biblical perspective, when we view what’s being taught in many of the local assemblies, you’d have to come to the conclusion that it’s a small part of the Gospel (good news).

HAVING APOSTLE PAUL’S COMPASSION FOR THE BRETHREN!
When you read Apostle Paul’s letter to the Church at Thessalonica … you come away with the sense that this man truly loved his brethren! He uses the same jargon that Jesus used when He spoke to the Nation of Israel and said, “Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, I wanted to protect YOU, like a mother Hen her young …” Paul treated the Christians of this Church like a caring mother and an encouraging father.

Four Misconceptions About The Will Of God – Concerning Us!
You can not assume that every open door represents God's will. Some open doors may actually be snares of Satan to keep you out of God's will. Even when Satan opens a door that's meant to bring you harm, God can bring good from it, if you will be sensitive to the leading of the Spirit.

The Carnal Christian “Will The Real Child Of God Please Stand Up!”
The Carnal Christian “Will The Real Child Of God Please Stand Up!” First, of all, let ME acknowledge that “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God,” as expressed in Romans 3:23: so, I’m not pointing a finger to say who is carnal and who is not; but I'm going to outline some characteristics of what a 'Carnal Christian' looks like. A true believer is one that's sensitive enough to the Spirit that when they do sin, they're quickly to

“THE PARABLE OF THE LOST COIN”
"THE PARABLE OF THE LOST COIN" (Luke 15:8-10) “Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it? And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.’ Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Jesus
