   When was there a time when you were physically hurt? How did you persevere with pain? Have you ever been hurt emotionally? How did you process it? Have you ever experienced rejection, frustration and hopelessness? Can too much pain make a man not to have election for more than a year? When was the last time you were angry with God? What helped you get past it? Or have you not. How has hope strengthened your walk? In Romans 5:1-5 Paul talks about suffering, perseverance, character, and hope. Why is it important to travel this road? What is your hope? Have you face hunger too? Can you steal just to quench you hunger? Can suic…

   Hello everyone. I apologize that I haven't been around for awhile, but I am reaching out because I have a question about movies like "Courageous". One of our youth leaders wants to play this movie and I feel that as Christians, we should avoid this type movie. There is a good message about fathers being a strong role model and the leader of the family, but there is some violent crime scenarios which include police chases, auto thefts with babies in the back seat etc, and I feel that as the elder of the church, we would be using our time at youth group reading and discussing from God's Precious Word. There is very little mentioned about the church and the Bible. Althou…

   FORSAKEN BY GOD

   My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish? My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest. I feel despised and rejected, abused and slandered, misunderstood and forgotten. I have been wondering why God seems to be doing nothing to protect and defend me. Does Jesus knows what i feel?

   Flee from every form of Slavery to Sin" fromm Romans 6:20-21

   Every human being existing on the planet earth is either a slave to sin or to righteousness. There's absolutely nobody who can claim not to be a slave to any of these two and there's absolutely nobody who can serve the two at the same time. When you're a slave to sin, you cannot be a slave to righteousness as well. You only submit to one. However, my desire is that each and everyone flees from every form of slavery to sin. Why must we flee from every form of slavery to sin? 1. Because slavery to sin is a direct contradiction to righteous living. 2. Because it brings shame. 3. Because it leads to dead. In concluding his, the only thing that can bring…

    In my life, everything is a battle. Every breath is a battle, food is a battle, accommodation is a battle, health is a battle. either to win or die. We have gotten to a point where we no longer care who us right. What matters is the person that is left. We who have seen war, never stop seeing it. It wake us in the morning and help us to sleep. We see human but no humanity. Classified under world most neglected crisis. All we can remember now, all we can talk about now is war abd death. Will this ever end?

    For the last few years, the Berean Call has made various ebooks and tracts/pamphlets by Dave Hunt and others at the Berean Call available for free download. I do not endorse everything about Dave Hunt, but he is one of the best out there for exposing doctrinal and practical corruption in modern Christendom. There are two official sites that I am aware of that are offering some of their material for free downloads: Shop | The Berean Call This one you will need to create an account (name, address, does not ask for any payment info because these materials are free) and add the free ebooks you are interested in to your basket (if given the choice, choose pdf as devices a…

    What if healing comes from a witch Doctor? Should they be given a try? I live in pain for year and the more I try, the worse it becomes. After all I have been through. I have decided to try. Tomorrow, he will cut certain part of my body and apply his substance. Today he covered my empty body with this blanket and light up a substance. Since I started this today. I have a divided spirit but I have no other option.

    Life is sorrow. Life is painful, life is suffering, fear, and trauma. Life is uncertainty, with discomfort. I have learned in my 8 yesrs of struggling that a needy is always wrong. Sometimes just have to admit to a crime that wasn't committed just to havr food and shelter, no to b3 rejected or to avoid torture. What scares much i that the more i try to desperately to overcome pains, suffering, and find safety seemed to make the situation worse. It is happiness that I was looking for. It was safety i was looking for, because I wasn’t happy, because I wasn’t safe. By going after it, the discomfort, the sadness, the pains, the suffering only grew. At moment, tha…

The sites listed below have multiple sellers including those listed above. It will be possible to compare prices more easily. You can shop for new or used, by author, by title, by condition, by publication year, or by ISBN.

    It was interesting this morning in the cardiac testing center waiting area. I was listening to two younger gentlemen talking about the book of Revelation. One said that his pastor and church believed that there were several things still not accomplished yet when it came to prophecy. He was telling the second gentleman that he didn't necessarily agree with his pastor, explaining that the disciples believed that Jesus would come back in their lifetime, so why should we NOT expect the imminent return as well. The second gentleman said that his pastor didn't believe in a rapture, nor did he believe in a millennial reign of Christ. They noticed that I was listening and asked i…

    I have been having trouble with one of my CNC machines. At first tech support said it was the controller board. So I purchased (from them) a new board with a USB interface, to replace the old one which used a serial port. Got it up and running, used it to manufacture a large 2-sided sign and completed a freebee project for my Sunday School teacher. So far so good . The new circuit board cost about $1500. About 2 weeks ago, I had another sign about 95% done when the controller stopped sending signal to the motors. I have been going back and forth with tech support evert since. Anyway, I had posted a photo yesterday, on Facebook, mostly using FB as an easier way to transfer…

    I am prepared to take this risk because my heart is so heavy with what I have experienced in Cameroon for 8 years. I do not want to carry the burden of war for the rest of my life. For years now, my life is a testament to the indomitable human spirit, my hope shines brightest in the darkest of times, my life journey remind me that even amidst adversity, there is a path to happiness, love, and a fresh start. My life is a story of unwavering determination and boundless hope. I don’t mine if I should fly, run, walk, even crawl in order to leave Cameroon . The danger through the desert, the Mediterranean sea and imprisonment in Europe is better than freedo…

    Just before Christmas, I repainted the Sunday school room. I have slowly started decorating the walls, and want to do a mural on one wall. I want something that all ages can enjoy, so nothing too childish/cartoony as well as not too boring for children to look at. The mural would be on the wall to the right in the picture. Any ideas?

    This past Sunday morning, taking the garbage out to the refuse bin way down our driveway, I somehow ended up face down in the gravel. My wife saw what happened and came out to help me get up from my spill. After getting back to the house we began to assess the injuries that I had sustained. I was bleeding from both knees, and the lower half of each leg was beginning to bruise. I knew I had a concussion by the extreme headache and blood coming from my sinuses. I had a small gash on my forehead, and my nose was bleeding on the outside left. It was also clear that my right thumb was broken. My whole forehead was beginning to turn black and blue, and both eyes as well. There …
