Deuteronomy 8:11 NLT
"But that is the time to be careful! Beware that in your plenty you do not forget the LORD your God and disobey his commands, regulations, and decrees that I am giving you today”.
Todays man have neglected their assignments. As leaders we were warned in the beginning not to forget The Lord your God, especially now that we are starting to enjoy times of success (Things Are Good ). Not only have we forgotten, -- we have turned against God completely. The God that brought our forefathers through, for many he's none existing. God has not left us. We are now bowing to other things, which have become Gods to us.

All of this because we've forgotten what we were told never to forget.
So, some of our 21-Century churches are now starting to see things differently. This is because they are the by-product of the forgotten. But, it is realized to save and reach the lost the work begins at the place where the crime was committed, where promises were broken. Therefore, the task to restore Faith and Hope in our neighborhood begins by leading the men and women back to the cornerstone of the community, which is the Church. Yet, now the leaders of the Church are the Brothers who once were the dealers on the corner or the sisters who prostituted to buy milk for her babies.
Conversely, from seeing the changes in these new leaders’ lives the community is convinced that God is real and they are no longer reluctant to embrace the Gospel we preach. Even if it is temporary for some, we are getting the brothers and sisters back and they are bringing their families as

When humanity started glorifying God and his creations, God revealed his love for humans and helped them understand their sins and ask for…

    Throughout The Bible, passages describe the character of The Antichrist using both direct prophetic allusions and types (typology). Within all these passages, certain themes are discovered again and again. The composite picture paints a fairly simple-minded yet predetermined individual, driven by an insatiable desire for self-elevation and praise. Like Lucifer before him, this obsession will cause The Antichrist to proclaim himself as God’s co-equal, if not higher. Lucifer’s proclamation is recorded in Isaiah 14:13-14: “ 'I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit on the mount of assembly in the recesses of the north.…

    6-8 in the book of Deuteronomy is based on God and his words to the people. The people of Israel were enslaved in Egypt, until God freed them and led them into a different land, the Promised Land. After freeing his people, he preaches to them the commandments that he expects them to follow. He lists all of the rules he wants them to abide by such as to remain loyal to God and do not test him. In Deuteronomy 6:20-25, God also tells his people to tell their children of the story how God freed them from slavery and promised them land as a gift.…

    Before I speak the Words of God, His warning to a certain church within the Body of Christ, let me remind the people, God’s admonishment against the Israelites leaders when they choose to go against God’s true prophets.

    The genre of Deuteronomy 6:1-9 is law. Law was God’s gift to Israel, a covenant or promise that he made with them that if they lived Godly lives, they would be fruitful in the land he would give them. Often times when people today think of the word “law”, they associate it with being controlled, but in this context it wasn’t seen as a way to hold people back. While it was Israel’s constitution, the main purpose of law was to instruct the Israelites on how to thrive in the promised land and have a strong connection with God. Aside from those unique characteristics, there are six important principles to be aware of when interpreting law.…

    In this week’s study of stewardship, I have learned that stewardship can take on a much broader meaning than I had initially thought. When reflecting on the word stewardship, I think of being responsible for what has been given to me by God. We are to manage and take care of these God given things. This meaning family, friends, and even strangers. I believe it also means showing stewardship in your profession, your personal belongings such as finances, assets, spiritual gifts and tangibles.…
