When we were sinners, we thought about and did things that were wrong in God’s eyes. Yes, we did things that did not please God and we went to places that God would be ashamed of. However, now we should think of things that are good in the sight of God. In fact, we should do things that please God and go places where God would love to be. So, release yourself from that burden, set yourself free, and let go of the old you and everything connected to it. Press on toward the reward that God has for you.

Welcome to a different type of ministry; we are primarily internet-based, we NEVER ask for MONEY for anything we do. We are faith-based and solely rely on God to give what we need.
Your attention and time to check what we freely give is all we ask of you and that you be blessed by this ministry.
Know Your Enemy; Warning, The Devil Isn’t Your Worst!
The devil is usually the focus of our attention because most of us have been taught that we only have one enemy. However, we also have two additional foes that can surprise us: our own flesh and the world or world system. Recognize that our body, the flesh, serves as a vehicle for the devil and the world (or world system), so it is our worst enemy. When we concentrate only on one opponent, the other two are left free to cause harm without restraint.
Is What They Teach Better Than What God Said?
Your primary reason for attending services should be to learn how to live to please God. If your pastor is not doing this, then you are in the wrong place.
• Is what they teach about right and wrong ways to live, talk, and treat others? Pastoring is more than making people feel good (2 Timothy 4:1-5).
• Are their teachings correctly supported by the Bible? Don’t blindly accept what they teach; verify it by studying the Word yourself [Acts 17:11].

Hypocrite; Time To Stop Acting Holy, Be Holy Now!

Murmuring; 3 Valuable Examples, People Murmured, God Killed Them!

Lust: I Want It, I Don’t Care About Consequences
Lust is a strong or greedy want with an ‘I don’t care about the consequences’ attitude. It is like saying or thinking, “I want what I want, no matter what.” In fact, it shows a complete disregard for the consequences of a person’s actions. But the person should care about the result!
