“The Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.” — Psalm 147:11 There is an English brand whose slogan for its social and environmental campaign is: “Plan A, because there is no Plan B.”Do you often have a Plan B, or are you the kind of person who […]
“But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.” — 2 Thessalonians 3:3 The Bible says that the devil will seduce the traitors of the covenant with flattery. But those of the people who know their God will stand firm. It goes even further by saying that […]
The whole Bible can be summed up in one word: Love. Indeed, it tells us about the greatest love story creation has ever experienced. From Genesis to Revelation, it’s all about love.

Another major problem with this so-called “deliverance ministry” is that people become so caught up in delivering one another and organizing “deliverance meetings” that they lose sight of Jesus’ first command: the evangelization of the nations (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:15).
