Philippians 4:11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
These words show us that contentment is not a natural propensity of man. “Ill weeds grow apace.” Covetousness, discontent, and murmuring are as natural to man as thorns are to the soil. We need not sow thistles and brambles; they come up naturally enough, because they are indigenous to earth: and so, we need not teach men to complain; they complain fast enough without any education.

James 4:3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

I’m now studying 1 Corinthians and again the state of the Gospel message within the church community arose. So how much value do we place on Christ? How … Continue reading →

I pray Lord God for biblical integrity amongst ministers. In that men of God would study and not just Google word topics, using one line scriptures out of context. Doing so just because the word that they have focused on appears there. I pray that ministers would no longer fear losing membership thus cutting their … Continue reading →
