How Will You Be Remembered ?

Posted by Prince Malachi The First on October 26, 2015 at 1:29am

by Leonard Granger

At our country church, we recently had a sermon about how men and women of the Bible are remembered. Some were born in humble circumstances and as they served God they grew to be pillars of the faith. Others, while serving God, started out strong and then had highs and lows during their life and may have gone down the wrong road; so now they are remembered as weak servants of God. The Biblical leaders of the Old and New Testaments had many challenges with trials and tribulati

Love Comes First

Our Daily B read by Cindy Hess Kasper

One evening my friend showed me one of the three decorative plaques that would be part of a wall arrangement in her living room. “See, I’ve already got Love,” she said, holding up the plaque with the word written on it. “Faith and Hope are on order.”

So Love comes first, I thought. Faith and Hope soon follow!

Love did come first. In fact, it originated with God. First John 4:19 reminds us that “We love [God] because he first loved us.” God’s love, desc

SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLES OF SUCCESSFUL WOMEN

1. In everything you do, always put GOD first.

Many of us have a habit of putting other people first or putting ourselves before anyone or anything. This is what we are taught to do, but it is incorrect and it is damaging. Eloihim must always come first. Everything you do, whether at home or the workplace you must do for him. He comes before your spouse, your boss, your children, your customers. If you put GOD first, all

The Behavior of Women

Titus 2:3-5 teaches us how women, both younger and older, should act. And to be honest it is in direct contrast of we see in the home, workplace, classroom and community today. First lets discuss our older women. Older women are to be reverent and pure. They are to be set apart for the world in thought and behavior. They should only move and speak in the spirit of holiness and be focuses on sacred things. Older women should be pious

The Black woman in America is in bondage and we allow Satan to keep her that way. African Americans will not rise until the Black woman is brought back to life. After the Civil War the chains came off but today we still are not free. No our wrist and ankles are not chained but our minds are. To the men reading this, we must learn to show our women, our sisters, our mothers the proper respect. God created man to be the stewards over all creation. To show disrespect to the gift

JESUS CHRIST; FACT OR FICTION

by Daniel Dela Dunoo

Quite recently, two Ghanaian music artistes, namely Mzbel and Black Rasta on separate platforms emphatically stated that Jesus Christ is a fictional character and not a historical figure as taught by the Church (and as contained in the New Testament of the Bible). They insist that the stories surrounding Jesus Christ as contained in the Bible were made up and claim they arrived at such conclusions through research. Their assertions were given much publicity in the Ghanaian

Don't they make a lot of neat gadgets these days? I remember when a cell phone (then it was called a mobile phone) was a luxury. Only those who were rich or very well off had one. The day arrived when they became more affordable. My daughter, as a teenager, insisted that she needed to have a cell phone. We got her one. Once we realized the value of it, I wanted Debbie to have one too. It put my mind at ease knowing that when my ladies (my daughter and my wife) were on the r

The Word of God well understood and religiously obeyed is the shortest route to spiritual perfection. And we must not select a few favorite passages to the exclusion of others. Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian.

-A.W. Tozer

As the quote above suggest, it is through reading understanding and obeying The Word of God that we grow and develop as followers of Christ. This is not something we should occasionally do, it should be the foundation and fabric of our lives. Un

5 Practical Tips for Brothers Who Are Looking for a Godly Wife

I love everything about weddings. I love their beauty. I love the mystery: how out of all the billions of people on earth, one man and one woman fell so in love that they vow to join together in a lifelong monogamous union. I love that out of all the ways God reveals His glory, He uniquely designed marriage to display His love for His people. With all that marriage offers and is (leading Peter to call it “the grace of life”) why would any godly brother let it pass him by? If you don’t want mar

When Ministry Success Becomes an Idol

I remember exactly where I was when I lost interest in professional sports.

In 1998 the World Cup was in France, and the player to watch was Michael Owen, starting forward for England. He was that country’s youngest player ever to participate in a World Cup. I was 16. Michael Owen was 18. I was in my parent’s basement in mid-Missouri. He was in the Stade de Toulouse in France. I played JV soccer, defense specifically, because I couldn’t score. But Owen was scoring goals against the best play

5 Steps to Help You Yield to the Holy Spirit

By Rhonda Jones

"Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Holy Spirit dwells in you?" 1 Corinthians 3:16

We were made to serve the Lord. Our bodies are waiting to be filled with the light of the Holy Spirit so that we may lead a more spiritual, rewarding life. With His power using us to His will we can spread His word and His love to others lost among us. Too many people are closed off to God's will. Our hearts are fearful instead of trusting. Once you have yielded yourself

Two years after releasing the critically acclaimed project, "The Resistance" with Wes Pendleton, Tragic Hero is finally ready to release his debut album titled, "My Own Worst Enemy".

And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 15 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. 16 However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life. 17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alon

7 Ways To A Successful Marriage

What do you think would deem a marriage successful? Is your marriage successful or are you still working on bringing it into success? Couples may differ in what they believe constitutes a successful marriage. I have compiled a few thoughts that I think couples should incorporate into their own relationship for a successful marriage.

1. Proper Communication

In a successful marriage both husband and wife understand where the other stands on certain issues within the marriage, and ar

by Lorene Troyer

Do you suffer from feelings of inferiority and insecurity? A lack of self-esteem can prevent you from living a fulfilling life and accomplishing your God-given destiny. Fear is at the root of low self-esteem. It is a tool used by the devil to stop you from being effective as a Christian and it manifests as depression, confusion, indecisiveness and lack of faith. Low self-esteem comes as a result of focusing on the wrong thing. If you choose to focus on negative circumstances-t

Christian suffering is a reality! This is because everyone who desires to live godly in Christ will suffer persecution. But the good news is that God will deliver you from them all. However, persecution is neither palatable nor desirable no matter how short or long the period of suffering may be. Therefore this post tells you what to do when suffering as a Christian.

The Bible is a long book. My 1978 New International Version is 1,156 pages long. Ever wonder what the main point of the Bible is? Whether you've ever read the whole thing or not, would you like to know one of its central teachings?

One day an Old Testament scholar asked Jesus to tell him the most important commandment in the Bible. For Jesus, this was an easy question to answer. He cut right to the chase with this response: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with a
