Luke 1:26-38 When a couple is about to get married, one of the things that we as priests look into is the reason for the marriage. We try to find out if both parties are entering into the marriage not out of force, not out of fear, or not coerced, or for any other reason….

Prophets
Part of God’s love for us and His desire is that we are saved. He has sent prophets throughout our Salvation History. Prophets are people called by God to teach His commandments, warn against sin, and prophesy of the future. Some of the most known prophets in the Bible are: Noah, who spoke about the…
Prayer of Faith
Mark 9: 14-29 During my initial exposure with the ministry of deliverance, I noticed that when the priests prayed, they did so with much conviction.

Perhaps they say it was his power and influence, the miracles he performed, the teachings with authority, and the many material blessings that he received. However, what they only saw was the outside. What they did not know were the sacrifices and challenges inside,…
Facts and Hope
Sometime ago on TV, amidst all the chaos and insanity happening, a lady being interviewed commented about leadership in the world. When asked what separates a good leader from a bad one, she replied, “The good leader gives facts and hope!” In the time of Jesus, Israel was undergoing uncertainty and unrest. They were waiting…
Eternal Life
How often have we been asked if we have been “saved”? Then the question that follows is “How?” “If you accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior.” While this is nice to hear, the problem is there is nothing written in the bible about accepting Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. On the…
Each Life is Important
If there is so much trouble in the world today, it is because we do not value life as it already is. We do not value people as they already are. Other things are given importance more than people. Once upon a time, the safest place for a human being was the womb of the…
