WHAT WE DON’T KNOW ABOUT WORSHIP AND THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Did you know that it is the will of God that every believer is given the manifestation of the nine gifts of the Spirit as He wills? YES! To every believer! (1 Corinthians 12:7-11) The problem is this: We don’t know because we were not taught. And what we don’t know, surely we won’t practice. […]
DO YOU HAVE THAT “WORSHIP DRIVE”?
God never creates anything inside of us (be it a need, an urge, or a drive) where He does not, also at the same time, provide a channel that can fulfill that need, that drive, and that urge. A very good example of this is hunger. We have something that’s called a “hunger drive”. This […]
We Need to Get More Involved in the Kingdom of God
God desires for us to seek Him diligently. In fact, the Scripture tells us that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6). To seek Him intently and purposely also means to be more involved in the church, in the business of His Kingdom. We have a role to play to […]
The True Test of Worship
“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

The Distinctions Between Praise and Worship
“O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.” Psalms 95:1-2 We are already aware that praise always comes before worship. In fact, in verse 6 of […]
The Greatest Thing in our Life
Many among us Christians have questioned ourselves at one point, “What am I doing here on earth? Is it all worth it?” There’s no shame in asking these questions; in fact, even Paul exhorted Timothy not to doubt his spiritual journey with Christ and to keep pressing on, knowing that in the Lord, our labor […]
Are We Primarily a Worshipper or a Praiser?
As Christians, one of our great goals is to grow in faith and in our relationship with God. We desire to have a deeper and more meaningful relationship with Him. It is also our desire to widen our wisdom and understanding of Him and His Word. However, knowing our goals and desires in our journey […]
These Are Christ’s Redemptive Blessings to Our World
The natural world that we know of is a world of hurt and suffering. As Christians, we are aware that the brokenness in this earth is experienced and felt daily—both personally and on a scale so wide, even civilizations and modern nations descend into ruins—all because of sin. However, this is not how the rest […]
What You Need to Know about God’s Anointing
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. Luke 4:18 What is anointing? One […]
Knowing Jesus Makes All the Difference
When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?” Matthew 21:10 The question “Who is Jesus?” may have a simple answer to those who do not genuinely seek the right answer, but it holds heavier weight and demands a perspicuous response to those who truly seek Him. The Scripture does […]
