2014 CLC Women’s Retreat – Recap
The 2014 CLC Women’s Retreat was a true blessing for my heart, mind and soul. The speaker this year was Jackie Kendall, a God-fearing, high-spirited and humorous woman of the Lord. Jackie led us passionately through three main sessions, addressing the act of supplementing our faith, and the act of biblical, Christ-imitating forgiveness. While there were many […]

Hosea 1:1 Introduction to Our Series: “God’s Faithful Love”
The people chosen of God to be His own people, upon whom He had lavished His love, had turned their backs upon Him, and were spending the very gifts of love in lewdness; and the prophet adopted the most tragic and awful illustration, as he declared that the sin of Israel in her infidelity to […]

Matthew 9:35-38 Prayer for Laborers for the Harvest
THE Lord frequently taught His disciples that they must pray, and how; but seldom what to pray. This he left to their sense of need, and the leading of the Spirit. But here we have one thing He expressly enjoins them to remember: in view of the plenteous harvest, and the need of reapers, they must cry to the Lord […]

The Purity of the Church
In [Jeremiah’s] account, the faces of the Lord’s people were covered with shame, for it was a terrible thing that men should intrude into the Holy Place reserved for the priests alone.

Recap from the 2014 TGC National Women’s Conference

Acts 28 – The Example of Paul in Sharing the Gospel
What does this teach us about evangelism? Just note these things, will you? Let me make a statement about. What do we learn about his effective evangelism? Few very important points.

Acts 27 – Paul’s Belief in God
He who gives himself to God gets God for himself. So when Paul said, ‘Whose I am,’ he was thinking that he would never have belonged either to God or to himself unless, first of all, God, in His own Son, had given Himself to Paul. The divine ownership of us is only realised when […]
