  • Beautiful Black History Month

    Black History Month is celebrated in February because it is the month of Frederick Douglas and Abraham Lincoln’s birthdays. It has nothing to do with it being the shortest month of the year. It was solely picked to honor these two pioneers for abolishing slavery in the United States. Carter G. Woodson has been remembered…

    The post emphasizes God’s command to love and respect one another, regardless of differences. It condemns society’s disregard for human life and urges believers to follow Jesus’ example.

  • The Love of Christ

    Valentine’s Day has taken on a heavy celebration of love. It is great for those who can show love to their partners, and spouse. Some people show love to single friends, so they don’t feel alone.

  • Are You a Cheerful Giver?

    But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work…

Due to their unbelief, they lacked the power to do as Jesus did. Then later he explained to them that the faith of a mustard seed was mighty, but some things take more than…

  • God Wants us to Help Those in Need

    We live in a time and generation where people are less compassionate and are not always willing to help those who are hurting in any form. A lot of people see the homeless or people who are impoverished as a burden. They may believe they could have better if they just tried harder. There are…

  • Forgiveness is a Necessity

    Forgiveness is a necessity because it is where healing from offenses and pain lies. We live in a fallen world. It is a fallen world full of hurting people. Hurting people who never do the work it takes to heal can end up wicked people hurting others. This is something that as a little girl…
