Living Life God's Way
Let’s say, for now, you are a football player. And every football team has their own uniform. Just the other day, you were promoted to play in a better team, a world-famous team, and you accept, of course! But now, you need to wear the new uniform.

You can make things happen!
I’ve heard way too many times, people saying they “wish” this would happen, or they “want” this to happen, or the “hope” this would happen. But they never make any effort to make it come true!

Prayer
Just A quick note on prayer… Pray is the most useful and powerful tool invented by God. Famous writer Max Lucado once said… “Pray is the most powerful tool in God’s kingdom, because in prayer we are in perfect communion with God interceding with the father on behalf of his creation. The majesty of prayer […]
We must go
This is the last part in a series of articles based on the Tim Hughes song “God of Justice.” I have a couple more ideas to share with you based on lyrics from this song. N.B. If you are not familiar with the song I recommend you watch this youtube video which uses it as […]
