Part 3 Are there tongues of angels? Hmmm. The tongues of men are clearly understood to be different languages. Let's look at this issue as well 1. Most times angels were sent to people in the Bible, they were understood. There was no need for interpretation 2. Do angels have a separate language...

Part 2 Acts 19:1-6 is often quoted to prove that speaking in tongues is evidence of the Holy Spirit. But look at Paul's discussion with them. Paul finds that they are believers but have only been baptized into repentance by John the Baptist. They had not been baptized into Jesus Christ and did...

The issue of speaking in tongues is a hot-button topic in Christendom. Understanding and balance are key. I apologize in advance if this is a long read. Let's start from Joel 2:28 which reads, And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and...

Stand on principles. Your true friends will respect and support you. Do justice, love mercy and walk humbly. Treat everyone right and with respect but avoid unequal yokes

Something has to attract you to the person. There must be something admirable about this person for you to even consider marriage. Let's be honest - no one would want a scruffy, unkempt person. Looks are important but not the only factor. Before you even proceed to the level of discussing...

Ask any mature Christian what they have gone through and you will understand why Jesus said in John 16:33 that in this world we will have trouble. It is not just believers but everyone goes through trouble. God never promised a life without trouble. Look at the life of Jesus, the apostles, the...

This is why as believers we pray for strength and grace from God who is the author and finisher of our faith. He is the one with the pen writing our story. He knows all about us and understands us. He also says He will not suffer us to be tempted more than we can bear but will provide a way of...

Hmm. We really need to get back to scripture as against 'popular culture'. If one wants to look at every prayer made in the bible, it might take a while. Let's focus on Jesus. it was never recorded that He shouted or screamed when praying. In Matthew 6:5 -15, Jesus says we shouldn't pray like...

Healing is a hot burner topic in the Christian faith. It has so many facets. However, I want to focus on one. This is my question - Is it right for people to say that one didn't have enough faith and as a result did not receive healing? Healing is indeed a hot burner topic and rightly so. We...

<p>No one knows her name<br /></p><p>She crept up behind our Lord</p><p>Invisible to the pressing crowd</p><p>Faith pulled her forward</p><p>With the whisper “If only I can touch the hem, just the hem”</p><p>Eyes to the ground, face covered, head down</p><p>She moved quietly through the...

Another great song I discovered is 'Yet' by The King Will Come. I came across the video of Ashley Hess singing the words and was hooked. It's such a powerful heartfelt song of worship and surrender.<p>The key line in the song 'Don't give up on me yet' is a plea to God from the heart of His child...

I recently discovered the song "In Jesus Name" by Katy Nicole and adopted it as my anthem for 2024. It is such a beautiful, stirring, soulful song. It is at once prayer, plea, intercession and worship. I practically had this song on repeat and played it most mornings. It is so deep and the...
