Why was Adam’s consumption of the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil such a big deal and what application does it have for us today? This article has the answer
Your walk with God is more important than your work for him. And if in the execution of the work you have drifted, now is the time to go back home. This article provides more light on why and how.
It’s a new year! A time to plan how the next 360 Plus days will be maximised. The question is, what does God really want from us this year? To keep it simple, God wants just two things from you- your ears and your heart. This articles shows us what that actually means:

Can God trust you with the secrete of his heart? If he truly unveils what is to come can you handle it? It’s time to grow up and learn to properly discern the voice of the Lord.
