for 4 years siden4:56

We take for granted that every time we pray, God will give His ear to hear? But if we gave any real thought to this, we might wonder that he is ever ready and willing to listen and respond.

for 4 years siden7:41

7:41

Do you sometimes question God's response to your prayers? Or what appears to be a lack of response to your prayers? And yet, how often do you pause and wonder that He should answer our prayers at all?

Question 183: Help me understand the conflict between the old and new natures in my life as a believer? 9:21

for 4 years siden9:21

9:21

There's a fierce battle raging in the life of every believer in Jesus: The battle between the old and new nature! It's easy to take for granted...so little is said or preached about it. But, it's a battle which we must recognise and understand, and apply every spiritual resource available for the spiritual gain and victory of the new nature.…

for 4 years siden12:20

Question 180: What was God's motivation to save ME? 9:05

for 4 years siden9:05

9:05

Have you ever wondered why God saved you? Did He like what He saw in you? On the other hand, there may not be much that YOU see in you! Well, God's Word makes clear that it has nothing to do with you. Take a listen...

Question 179: Why does self-dependence have no place in my life as a believer? 5:34

for 4 years siden5:34

5:34

We are all prone to self-dependence. We like the idea, and the reward, of doing things on our own. But when it comes to our faith, our right standing with God, such an attitude is completely out of place. To rely on self for salvation is to remain in sin...and lost forever!

6:27

Christian, are you confidant that when you die, you will find yourself welcomed into the presence of God? How can you be sure?
