Entertaining God

Please view the following video before proceeding to read this post:


Isaiah 29:13 says: "Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men".

It is now time for us to get real with ourselves. Many people when first viewing the above video took offence. They were upset because they thought to themselves "What mockery!". Sadly, they would have misinterpreted the true intention of the "actors/worshippers" and missed the point that they were trying to make...they would have missed the point that this is the sad reality of the modern church. Although we may not sing these songs quite like what is depicted above, our hearts might sing them very often and we may not even realise it. God Himself said that many honour Him with their lips but are separated from Him in their hearts...that, that which is perceived to be reverence, is merely an act that was taught to them by mortal man! Please don't be angry with me, God is the One Who said it.

The Christian Woman and MakeUp

Author: Krystal Husain




“N
ow when Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it, and she painted her eyes and beautified her head and looked out of [an upper] window.” 2Kings 9:30 (Amplified Bible)

Much controversy surrounds this verse. Many think the verse to mean that Jezebel put on makeup, and if she is a wicked woman, then the application of makeup must be evil as well. But if this is true, then within the same verse we see that Jezebel also combed her hair, she “beautified her head”. Then is it wrong also for women to style their hair? If that were true then no woman should colour, braid or style her hair.

More of God

Author: Krystal R Husain


ANALOGY: A child walks over to the refrigerator and pulls out a mug of juice. Determined to get as much juice as he possibly could, he fills his glass to the brim. He then attempts to add ice to his drink. What do you think is going to happen? Of course, the juice will overflow.

POINT: If I were to ask any believer out there if they wanted "more of God", the general consensus is going to be a resounding "YES!!". Who doesn't want more of God these days?! But what does this statement really mean? Is it possible to actually get more of God? And if yes, then how do I get more of God?
