The Blessedness Of Giving
It is the privilege of Christians to fully comprehend the experience of the blessedness of giving, and this only in the light of Christ.
So few people comprehend this very unique joy, and even fewer have understanding of its eternal significance.Does what is given today in the name of Christ multiply reward eternally? The answer depends only on where you desire your treasure stored.
We Glory In Tribulations Also
Romans 5 is one of the most incredible portions of the Bible. One of the elements is in the consideration of how Christians are to respond to difficulty in their lives, Paul has an approach that may be seen to be provocative to many Christians.
Brother Jeramie explains.
He Walked On The Water
We live today in difficult times the world over. This time in history is unique in so much that all people are struggling with fears about what tomorrow will bring. Yet in the midst of troubled waters he walked on water. Who? Peter!
But when his focus turned from Christ to the trouble that surrounded him he began to sink.
There is a message in that for all of us.

Humility
Humility 3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

The Church is many members, but One Body in Christ.
