experiences I have ever encountered. Some say that learning a completely different culture especially the language may be difficult, well, they were right! Coming to America did not only come with struggles, changes, and lessons, but it also brought blessings.

Talking about these attributes that came into my life will not only explain entirely where I come from, but really…

us build this church so much quicker, because the rainy season is coming. I believe with all my heart that as you give, God is going to bless you abundantly in ways you never dreamed of. He will “open the windows of blessings” upon you. I believe that God will pour supernatural blessings upon you that will be “pressed down, and shaken together and running over.” (Luke 6:38) Please ask the Lord what to give and try to give your gift today. We need to buy truckloads of building materials, sand,…

Wilfred Owen was born in Oswestry. He was brought up and educated in Birkenhead and Shrewsbury.

“Humor is mankind's greatest blessing” (Mark Twain). The controversy, however, is within how humor is conveyed or perceived to be. Alain De Botton, a philosophical writer, deems that humorists hold “impunity” in their messages that underlie their humor; impunity is something exempt from punishment. I consider that humor is used to veil the serious meaning that is proven such in political cartoons and the article “Humor conveys ‘Me No Terrorist’s’ serious message” (Elder). Conversely, people may…

She was born into royalty, as a princess whose beauty and grace was known throughout the kingdom. She is described in the story by her mother, as having skin “as white as snow, [lips] as red as blood, and [hair] as black as [the] ebony window frame” (Grimm 10).

Small children are seen as innocent, and that they must be protected from the corrupt and sinful world around them. Young children are the center of attention, and people migrate towards them. The picturesque three year old has a mom, a dad and maybe an older or younger sibling. Pearl is doing regarded as having any of the…

THE TEN VIRGINS AND THE OIL Let us prove this point from the Scriptures. God is a Spirit. God is also the Word. The Spirit always leads to the Word. This is even confirmed by the parable of the Ten Virgins and the Oil (Matthew 25: 1-13). Five of them were wise and five were foolish. They all took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom. The wise took their lamps and also extra oil in a separate vessel. The foolish took their lamps but did not take extra oil with them. The…
