Psalm 145:11 “They [the saints] shall speak of the glory of your kingdom, and talk of Your power.” The word glory (depending on its context) can have an array of definitions; here it speaks of the splendor and copiousness of the manifestation of God in His kingdom. And since presently His kingdom is established in […]
God Promises To Be With You
This world is filled with terror, anxiety, uncertainties, and disasters; if our eyes are focused on these, they can become overwhelming. Do you remember the story of Peter walking on the water?

God has brought all three to us as a gift in “the Man Christ Jesus” 1 Timothy 2:5. To have the love of family and friends is a treasure greater than earthly wealth […]
Greatness In The Kingdom: Part 2
Today we will look at another “trademark” of greatness in the kingdom of heaven, which is obedience to God’s words and commandments.
