The initiative against depression by Oswald Chambers

Arise and eat. 1 Kings 19:5. The angel did not give Elijah a vision, or explain the Scriptures to him, or do anything remarkable; he told Elijah to do the most ordinary thing, viz., to get up and eat. If we were never depressed we should not be alive; it is the nature of a […]

Let our praises rise….

Last week the Rabuna Fi ladies in leadership devoted a day to prayer and fasting. We have noticed many sisters getting distracted from Bible Study. We are asking Jesus to woo them back. I crept in while they worshipped… I hope heaven is going to be filled with melodies, in every language, that will blend so […]
