Since when we first become Christians, many of us wished and prayed for the day that our family members will come to know and receive Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour. Acts 16:31 "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household" Sometimes this promise seems a little far-fetched for us.
The Bible states that in Christ we have become a “new creation,” and that God has made provision for the healing of our body, soul, and spirit through the work of the cross.
In spiritual warfare ignorance is not bliss. It is disastrous because a major aspect of the world we live in is a spiritual war zone. God's people are called to put on the whole armour of God and to take their stand against the spiritual powers of darkness. Ephesians 6:10

Knowing how to discern what is truth and lies and what is truth and deception is one of the most important things in life.

These things can affect you just a little or they can be life controlling and totally destructive.
A healthy church is one where people are growing spiritually and are fed and nurtured through each season of life. Though a sad reality in many churches is how many feel overlooked, neglected, and left to struggle. Pastors are often expected to shoulder the burden of every need and concern of their congregations. However, caring for God’s people was never meant to be the exclusive role of trained pastors, but a corporate responsibility. Only when “pastoral care” is practiced in our ministries will people in our congregations feel truly loved.
Creativity starts with God. The Father is creative: He designed and brought the entire earth to life with all its features and creatures, only resting after he had “created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27). He experienced joy too — for “God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good” (Gen 1:31).

God is interested not only in our spiritual and physical, but also our psychological well-being. Worries and anxieties are common emotions. They are necessary for our survival, yet the Bible says that unbelief is evil, and commands us not to fear. Instead, we are commanded to fear God. This seems an apparent contradiction. So, is it wrong to fear?

As current events unfold we have witnessed another war in the middle east, with Israel being the focus. The attack on Israel marks 50 years from the 1973 Yom Kippur War; and 50 years mark a Jubilee.

The Christian life is lived on a battlefield.

These powers manifest through entities aligned to the kingdom of darkness – whose objective is our defeat and our demise.
Aren't we glad that no one can read our minds and know all our thoughts and thinking? But God can! Living a godly and a blessed life means that our thoughts and minds are not continually assailed, tempted and taunted by sinful and selfish thinking.
