2 Corinthians 9

We as people in general have many great expectations to do something; anything to help others who are in need. But as we procrastinate in the doing of what it is we had gotten so very excited about; our zeal begins to decline. People are emotional and that’s what drives us; if we are energized and excited about doing something but…

2 Corinthians 8

How many of you see the real need that others have right in the congregation where you sit? I believe that we can be conquerors of poverty within our own house if we grasp how we are to be a help to one another right in the building of faith were we attend our weekly or bi-weekly faith and worship service. I'm tired of seeing my brothers and sisters of my…

2 Corinthians 7

Our promise is evident; our LORD GOD, our FATHER does live within each and everyone of us who has a relationship with HIM and HIS SON; the LORD JESUS. How many of us have looked at the promise this way?  John 14:10-11; the FATHER is in JESUS and JESUS is in the FATHER; which means to me that because the FATHER is in JESUS and JESUS is in the FATHER that the…

This is why true, blood washed and forgiven children of the living GOD are compelled to share the Good News about the LORD JESUS CHRIST and HIS resurrection along with their testimony. We understand that nothing…

2 Corinthians 5 pt. 1

Brothers and sisters of faith in Cthe LORD JESUS CHRIST know that we are treasures housed in the flesh. What we see is not us; just like what others see along our neighborhoods are not us just because we live in that particular building. Our flesh is only a house made from clay/dirt and just like your home we are responsible for its up keep. You mow and water your lawn; you…

1 Corinthians 4

As trustees of the LORD CHRIST JESUS we must be found in all things trustworthy. Some of us may or may not be in the habit of self evaluation; I suggest that we evaluate ourselves. We spend too much time evaluating others; judging their actions and what it is they say. In most common instances the things that are done are from familiarity as well as the things which are said and it will take time to conform from those things we did and…
