The Christian’s Experience “God offers us seven means for transforming us into His likeness: prayer, faith, the study of His word, the gospel of health, Christian education, sacrifice, and Christian service.

As we use these means we are not trying to ‘save ourselves by works,’ because every effort…
Despise Not Small Beginnings
Despise Not Small Beginnings The worldly are chasing the easy return. Most dream of quick success – but few put in the effort proportionate to the reward. In this world, those who capitalise upon the dreams and desires of those seeking quick fortunes, make fortunes. Yet, in the game of life, only those who diligently apply the rules in sweat and tears will reap the reward. There is no deception here. You can play truant from school. You can take…

New Zealand Church Renovations Appeal
NZ church building repairs needed As time goes by, buildings need to be repaired and maintained in order to continue their usage.
