Can Women Be Pastors?
This is a topic that can be very much debated in Christianity and often causes division. We read in the Bible in 1 Timothy 2:12 (NET), “But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man. She must remain quiet.”. One would quickly jump to say women have no business…
Thoughts on Faith
We cannont exercise our faith beyond what we believe to be possible. John G.

Christ in Us

Perfected in Love
1 John 4:18 (LSB), “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.”. As believers, we must be beyond certain that The Father truly loves us. His Son paid the penalty due for sin as the result of…
Destiny in Sonship
Our destiny in Christ is to walk in greater levels of sonship. The Apostle Paul walked in sonship, for he spoke about this in Romans 8:14-15 (ESV), “For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear,…
