When In Rome: Week 1 09.07.2023 45:12 ↓

Living as Christians in a Pressure-filled World Greetings, dear brothers and sisters in Christ. Today, I'd like us to ponder upon an age-old adage, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." Although an anachronism to cite in the context of the Early Church in Rome - it hadn't been coined at that time - it effectively captures the intense social pressure faced by early Christians. The Roman government,...

Infinity War: Samson 25.06.2023 41:27 ↓

Every one of us, whether male or female, has been divinely selected to draw all towards Christ. We are tasked with the mission of reconciliation, to connect a world astray with our holy savior, Jesus Christ, the one we worship. In Ephesians 1:11, we are reminded that through Christ, we have obtained an inheritance and have been predestined to fulfill His purposes. This predestination doesn't just...

God's Freedom, God-Given Freedom, and the Word of God As Christians, we must stand for justice, freedom, and equality, following the teachings of Jesus Christ. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. fought for these principles, which are rooted in biblical truth. It is essential that we revisit the core values of the original "woke" movement and differentiate them from the distorted version we see today. Gala...

As believers in Christ, we must not be afraid of the truth or real dialogue.  The Bible teaches us not to fear, as it is written in 2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV): "For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love, and self-discipline." We should be free to discuss any topic, including the biblical view on male and female roles. In our culture, some may argue that the Bible's teach...
