  • What does God think about work?

    Posted December 17, 2010 by Oracle C.T. Webb

    Have you ever wondered what God thinks about work? Do you think he wants us to work or not? Let’s take a look at what he says in Genesis. God created the earth and that act was his very first “work”. The Bible records that he thought his creation was, “very good.” (Gen....

    The disasters and happenings over the course of the past century, whether man made or cosmic, have shaken and shattered the belief of man in himself, his being, the creator, convincing him firmly of the frailty of human life, and the ultimate futility of human endeavor. Yet, we go on. In the wo...

  • Restore Yourself

    Posted December 16, 2010 by Oracle C.T. Webb

    God said that he did not want Adam to be alone so he made Eve to be his mate.  God designed their union to be special, namely, husband and wife.  (Gen 2:18, 21-24) This union was the first recorded “wedding” in Christian history, thus, the institute of marriage was God’s ...

    Brothers and sisters,I have been browsing through some of the bios of the other ministers here. I'm very curious about something.
