Set for Change
The Bible explicitly claims that genuine faith in Christ produces a changed life. The apostle Paul himself who experienced the changing power of God declared in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!†In other words, the people who really have been saved are people who are changing. It is easy for anyone to talk about his or her religion, but everyone who does it must recognize that he or she must have the life to validate it. Beloved, if you know Jesus, you are set to change. I trust that you are ready to commit yourself to full cooperation with the work of transformation that God wants to do in you.

Madonna's Kabbalah
There is a spiritual vacuum that exists in the hearts of all human beings. The great theologian, Augustine, affirmed this when he said, "You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you." I hope none of us will be deceived in embracing teachings which are in direct conflicts with the Bible. At the same time, we should be mindful of the ministry of influence God has entrusted to us. We might not have the same influence as Oprah, Tom Cruise, or Madonna, but I’m sure we can influence someone to Jesus Christ. People are spiritually seeking today. If we fail to be an influence for Jesus, many of the people around us, our loved ones and friends, can fall into these false teachings.

Tom Cruise's Scientology
The Bible has never failed to provide warnings concerning the spiritual conditions of people prior to the second coming of the Lord Jesus. The apostle Paul had impressed to the young pastor Timothy how he needs to be faithful in teaching and preaching the Word because a time is coming when people would rather listen to myths or fables, rather than listen to sound doctrines. If we know the truth in Christ, I pray that we will have the same passion and zeal that Tom Cruise demonstrate, though what he believes contradict the Bible. Let’s all continue to pray that God will use us to influence other people to Jesus Christ. Let’s even pray that celebrities like Tom Cruise will come to know Jesus and would be used to draw people to Jesus Christ.

Opraha's New Religion
Celebrities are the fascinations of so many people today in our society. Magazines and tabloids about celebrities are selling millions of copies every week, and major television networks like NBC and CBS are spending an hour every weeknight, Monday to Friday on shows like “Access Hollywood†or Entertainment Tonight†to highlight everything that is happening about their lives. Perhaps, this reveals the tendency of people to be attracted to fame, beauty, and glamorous lifestyle. The only way we can know God and have a relationship with Him is through the living Word. He has revealed the Father to us and everything about Jesus and His teachings are found in the Bible. The Bible clearly declares, without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). We should never be deceived, it’s by believing, not feeling. May God have mercy on Oprah that she will come to know Jesus and that she would not be an instrument in leading people astray.

Spending Sabbath as a Family
Once Jesus Christ becomes the Lord of our lives, he demands to be number one in our priorities. He insists to be the first in line ahead of everybody and everything else in our lives. When we put Christ in His proper place, He promises to bless us and transform us so that other aspects of our lives will work for us. And this is true, not only for us as individuals, but also as families. In the context of Christian families, we must also learn to prioritize the things which matters to God if we desire His blessings upon us. Christian parents bear the responsibility of instilling the attitude of faithfulness in the lives of their children.

Standing Up for the Family
One of the more frightening and potentially dangerous crimes that can occur to a family is a home invasion burglary. Often, this crime is conducted while the residents are present. Many of you can probably remember the gruesome murder that happened sometime in July last year that shocked the residents of Cheshire, a small affluent suburban town near New Haven, Connecticut. The victims were the wife and two beautiful daughters of Dr. William Petit Jr., a prominent diabetes expert from Joslin Diabetes Centre. According to the reports, the two armed robbers committed the murders after they have successfully invaded their home. What was more traumatic with this story was the fact that Dr. Petit witnessed the crime against his loved ones. The Reverend Ronald A. Rising, a neighbor for more than 10 years was quoted saying, "They’re a lovely family, it's just awful to think it would happen to a family like that in this community.â€

Instilling Contentment in the Home
Everyone desires for happiness. In fact, it is among the most fundamental of all human goals. And most definitely, we want our homes to be filled with it. However, before happiness can rightly dwell in our lives and homes, we must first seek after contentment. It is difficult to be really happy when there is discontentment in your heart.

Honor Your Mother
Someone has rightly said, “It's impossible to thank God for our existence unless we also thank our parents.†We definitely adhere to that saying here at Bible Church, and so we always seize the opportunity to celebrate Mother’s Day in order to express our appreciation to all mothers for their great contributions to their children. We recognize that being a mother is a tough job and for that we really want to honor all the mothers today.

Seeking for Prayer Partners
Prayer is absolutely vital in the Christian life. Since Christianity is a relationship with God, this relationship can never become intimate without the consistent communication between us. That is why God is truly honored and pleased when we as believers take the time to pray. On this basis, we must do our best to consistently incorporate intercessions in our prayers.

Love Connection
One truth we unashamedly declare as Christians is that we serve a living God who manifests Himself to us in extraordinary ways. Most often, we have experienced this reality in our prayers. In the Bible, you would find God openly invites His people to encounter His presence and power in their prayers. Jeremiah 33:3 (NKJV) 3 'Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.' Indeed, if we go to Him, He promises not just to respond, but also allow us to experience supernatural things which we have never experienced before. Can you imagine what you and I can miss if we are not praying?
