CONSISTENCY IN THE LIFE OF A CHRISTIAN

Image
By: Smana Petit-Frere Life has become so instant, everything is so fast paced; even the way we pray is being affected. The idea of work and school is always in our minds; with no time to really establish a consistent relationship with Jesus Christ. When everyone and everything is in a haste, Christians must look in the bible. Jesus bade us to... “ 4  Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me ” (John 15:4). To abide means to be in accordance. For believers, it means to maintain an unbroken fellowship with God. It is regularity. It is consistency. And it results in producing lasting fruit. That is the secret of spiritual growth, daily communication with our Lord and Savior. In 1 John 2:6 it says, “ 6  He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked .” Walking speaks of consistent motion, and that’s exactly what Jesus did when He was on Earth, no

A True Christian Home

Image
By Edriss Perjuste Today’s Society: In the world that we live today, society has deteriorated to the point where men have taken on the custom of Satan rather than God. That is why we have so much evil in the world, wars left and right, divorce rates at an all time high, sexual immorality, and more youth are becoming more violent committing all types of crimes. There needs to be a change and it all starts at home. The Home Atmosphere: The home is often regarded as simply a habitable place, somewhere to go to lie down after a long stressful day. There is a saying I hear people say all the time referring to their home “I’m going to go into my cave”. The home is much more than just a habitable place or a cave; the home should be like a little piece of heaven on earth where love, joy, happiness and God’s principles are cultivated. The atmosphere of the home should be where the spirit of God dwells, it should be peaceful; it should be welcoming, love should be felt there and it

Having the Faith of Jesus

Having the Faith of Jesus Photo Credit: www.pexels.com By: Samantha Charles  · July 2, 2020  · 3 min read The world is in the midst of a crisis, a global pandemic called COVID-19. As a Christian, I have always been grateful for the faith I have in Christ. I often wonder how individuals can maneuver daily life in this crazy world without Christ. See, I was raised in a Christian family, and though I have strayed in the past, I never stopped believing in God. I always knew that God was sufficient, but that knowledge was challenged by COVID -19. As a Registered Nurse, I was rocketed to the "front line" in the fight against this disease. This pandemic is wreaking havoc on our communities and families. It has taken many lives, and as hard as it is to think about, many of these individuals have gone down in Christ-less graves. We know so little about this virus, it seemed like they were constantly diagnosing or inventing new symptoms and suggested treatments. At the beginning of eac

State of Emergency

State of Emergency                                                                                                   Photo Credit: www.pexels.com By: Bintu St Jean April 16, 2020 · 3 min read Whenever there is a worldwide pandemic, there is a worldwide fear. Worldwide, not just among non-believers but in God’s believers. The church is confronted with a health crisis and a crisis of faith. Whenever there is a state of emergency, people will do things they will not usually do to save themselves. A person who would not regularly wash their hands throughout the day, is now washing their hands every moment and chance they get. People who usually do not watch the news, are glued to the T.V and watching for notifications on their phones for updates. People who could care less , care more because they want to live. A man will do, whatever you tell him to do, even if he has never done it, to save his life. “For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cheri

Heaven on Earth

What Is Heaven?   By: Stephania Nerestant Most people have thought of a place of peace, a place of rest, a place beautiful and sublime; Utopia. And very often we separate Heaven from Earth. We see Heaven as the place of God's dwelling and Earth as our dwelling place, two different places. However, we encounter these two very different places in The Garden of Eden. The garden was certainly a beautiful place, but I believe the beauty of the garden rested upon the fact that God would come there to communicate with Adam and Eve (Genesis 3:8). We can confidently conclude, that heaven is wherever God dwells. God is omnipresent, that is, He can be in multiple places at once (Psalm 139:7-8, Jeremiah 23:23-24). Imagine yourself in a beautiful place where God does not reign, it would not be long until chaos ensued.   "....heaven is wherever God dwells" In Heaven, there is justice and judgement. Heaven thus reflects the goodness of God.
