My heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. — Psalm 84:2 Loneliness is one of the greatest problems people face today. It is a leading cause of suicide-that is now the third greatest killer of students in the United States. People feel various kinds of loneliness. One of the most common is the loneliness of solitude.

Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. – Hebrews 10:35-36 Most of us have a distorted idea about patience. We think of it as something designed to help us suffer failure gracefully, but according to these scriptures, it will actually put us on the path to success! Patience (or being consistently constant) is the power twin of faith. They work together to see to it that the promises of God are fulfilled in your life. Say, for example, you need ..read more

As Christians, we’re different from those in the Old Testament. In the Old Testament, they were called to obey the Word; but in the New Testament, we’re Word practitioners; we’re the expression of the Word; it’s called the mirror principle. God’s idea is that if He shows you who you are, you’d live accordingly. Therefore, when you come across a verse such as Ephesians 4:25 ..read more

First of all I will start with what’s prayer. Prayer: Can be seen as the act of Communication between God and Man.
