I am a Pentecostal Christian, raised by parents who always encouraged me to develop a strong, intimate and enduring relationship with God. As Christians, we firmly believe that we are all one in the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12) and denominations don’t matter, and yet, every church where I’ve been had their own perception of Christianity. While some believed […]
In general, temptation is anything or anyone that drives you or lures you away from God. And, honestly, living in this “super modern” era, we can’t say our lives are temptation-free. However, the best way to live a faithful Christian life is to submit to the word of God. Bible Verses From 1 Corinthians 10:13: “No temptation has overtaken you […]
The earliest source of the existence of relics – objects of great religious significance – in Christianity is mentioned in the Old Testament when a man was brought back to life upon touching the prophet Elisha’s bones. “Once while some Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders; so they threw the man’s body into Elisha’s […]

In Netflix’s show ‘Lucifer’, you will see angels, sin, hell, afterlife, heaven, God, and of course, the main character Lucifer. We are far from Sunday church sermons; in this film, we see alcohol, sex, and a lot of debaucheries that I will not mention here. Lucifer was first released on Fox in 2016 and then migrated on Netflix, with the […]
Jesus spent 40 days in the desert being tempted by Satan. The latter presented everything we would ever want: our basic needs and even glory, yet Jesus did not budge, as He knew his identity in God. In Genesis 3: 1-7, we witnessed ‘The Fall’, the famous passage where the serpent tempted Adam and Eve. Keep that verse in mind; […]

In this article, we will talk about sexual cords. “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to […]
If I were to ask you the origin of the term homosexual in the Bible, you would say it dates back to the original text, right? Well, you would actually be wrong; the term ‘pervert’ was mistranslated to homosexual in the RVS or Revised Standard Version of the Bible in 1946.
