He better have the Basics

I always wondered when men say they are ready for marriage, what exactly does that mean?

Gen 2:7-10

I want you to notice the God’s sequence. God created Adam. Note that before there was Adam and Eve, it was Adam and God. That’s the way it should be. Before a man marries a woman, he needs to be walking with God.

Immediately after he created man, He created a home for him. And if you continue reading, you’ll notice he created food and water for him.

The Refined Me

Where is the line that differentiates the pastor from the politician; where is the line distinguishing the saved from the unsaved? What happened to the days where you could distinctly tell the beliefs and very character of a person from their actions and daily life? What happened to the lucid reflection of the Spirit within us?

Genesis 1 vs. 27 - So God created man in His own image.

You walk into the church and the conversations between young people, the look/dress code of the Christian, the seeds planted by the looks between opposite sexes is nothing different than what you would find in the club on Saturday night.

So how are we a reflection of Him?

Loving God

Bible passages: 1st John 4: 16 & 19-20, 1st John 5: 2-4, Psalm 103

Presented by Chinwe Aneke

Lately, I've been thinking about the concept of love and how/why we love God. I wonder if I pray, fast and worship God for all He has done; and do I do these things for the promises that He has made for my future? I've realized that there's nothing wrong with being thankful for the past. Nothing wrong with praising God for His blessings. But sometimes, I feel like it's not enough. I want to be able to love God and praise Him no matter the circumstance.
When you love someone for the things they can do for you or the pleasure you can derive by being associated with them, I think that you're giving the person a surface (Erotica) kind of love.
