God is still alive and Active!

3/29/2020

Church buildings might be empty but His word is being preached all across the world online. Today, my pastor preached about Daniel in the lion's den and how Daniel went to the end to prove his love and commitment for the Lord. He knew in his heart that God was sovereign. His character was tested but he came out victorious..

"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.”

~~John Woodens, a former UCLA's basket ball coach

What do you put your hope IN

3/24/2020

Bloomberg stated today that though there were 11 million Americans who were millionaires just two months ago, that number has gone down by 500,000 instantly. Material gains come and go, but if you put your hopes in God, you will never be disappointed.

It is nice to get earthly recognition for our work, but for me, the award I am so looking forward to is my God saying, "Daughter, well done."

How far would you go for your faith?

2/24/2020

Let me introduce you to one of the greatest man who ever lived, J.W. Tucker. He was a missionary in the Congo for 26 years. At age 45, things were very violent in the Congo so he was advised not to go back, yet, missionary work to the Congo was his life so he went back. The rebels gathered him and 50 of his converts and threw them to a river to be eaten by alligators. Even through his death, J.W. Tucker's life became a beautiful testimony of his love for God.

Using Uber as an evangelism tool?

2/18/2020

When was the last time you took an Uber ride? Well, did you know you can use Uber as an evangelism tool? Dr. Tom Bradicich is a VP of HP Enterprise and philanthropist. He takes an Uber to church and he tells the driver, "Why don't you come in to the church with me and I'll pay for the two hours that we will be in service. " Each time, the driver would say sure and there's been times that the driver has given his/her life to Jesus. Cease every moment for there are many lives waiting to hear the good news from you.
