This pattern recently repeated itself in a different way. For the first time in over a decade, our family is no longer associated to a 'home' church. If anyone has been a visitor of my original blog you'll remember that this separation from that church has been coming for about 2 years now. My husband and I were simply growing away from some of the teaching that the leadership stood strongly on. Everything from what we were learning about family integration to church governance no longer matched up with what the majority of the church members obviously stood for - we rescinded our membership. I say it was obvious that others disagreed with us because no one else wanted to pursue change even when they stated they agreed change was needed.
Did you catch that? Even though the majority of members in this church stated they knew change was necessary to bring the church into alignment with scripture, they did not want to do the work to cause the change. How do christians come to the point of being so apathetic? There is a great article here to discuss that situation, however I wanted to talk about losing my church family.
People who have shown interest in our family and stated a 'love' for us have essentially waved goodbye and turned away from us. This may sound harsh when we were the ones who felt that we needed to resign our membership. However, once we made the difficult decision to do this we took labourous steps to ensure that we did not offend anyone or disparage the church for having different beliefs than us - our letter of resignation stated this:
'The annulment of our membership is a decision based on our respect and appreciation for the remaining members' and how they wish to direct the church now and in the future. It is our hope that we will still be welcomed as adherents throughout the year and that the relationships we have garnered will continue. We look forward to many years of attending and visiting, albeit on a less consistent schedule.'
It took several drafts to choose the words that expressed our love for the people while stating our reason for leaving. When we handed the letter in, we were told that we were not welcome to return even for visiting. That just blew us away. Not welcome!
Even when we came to accept this odd response from the leadership, we did not know how to take the reaction from those who called us friends. They still attend the church and have never even addressed the way in which we were treated. Does this mean that they are in agreement and also do not welcome us as visitors?
They say not. They say it is an aberration of God's house. They still have not said anything within the church circle.
Don't rock the boat. Don't upset the person in the next pew. Live in hypocrisy.
It is the Lord and the word He shows me that has kept my heart from turning completely to stone:


Support for war refugees
Caritas Helps | Help Caritas | Help with us
On 24 February, the lives of millions of people across our eastern border turned into hell. We all remember the crowds of war refugees at the border, the mothers with their children camping out at railway stations and the great stirring of people’s hearts. A huge wave of refugees swept through Poland. Although the media has quietened down somewhat and our eyes and ears have quickly become accustomed to war, it is still ongoing and cruel. Caritas in Katowice has been working without a moment’s pause since the conflict broke out. We have staff and volunteers working with full commitment every single day. Dozens of people use the accommodation every day. Among the crowd of needy people, there is a group that requires our special attention and care: those who have experienced the death of loved ones and those living with the heavy trauma of a brutal war etched on their faces. It is for them that we are organising our fundraiser.
At Caritas, we are aware that our nations are divided by history, but we remember the words of our Lord, Jesus Christ: “Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew, 25:40) That is why we do not strive for divisions, but place our trust in love. The practical dimension of that love is mercy. When we overcome weakness and discouragement, unexpected and beautiful things happen, and the good work of volunteers and supporters far exceeded our boldest expectations. The Kingdom of God is upon us! We are currently raising funds for food, water, accommodation, basic medical care, psychological support, Polish language classes and translation of documents.
We do not focus on the bad, but try to fight for the good. Openness to the other makes it possible for us to experience mutual giving alongside all the evils of war, fear, suffering and death. We raise funds for supplies, water, accommodation, medical care, psychological support, learning the Polish language and translation of documents. The Centre for Migrants and Refugees on Jordana Street in Katowice is the place where we will carry out all these activities until at least the end of 2023.
Don’t allow yourself to get used to war and harm. Become one of us by providing real support and assistance. You are welcome!

Here at United Brethren in Christ Church, we are part of the denomination of the United Brethren in Christ. The United Brethren church consists of about 500 churches in 14 countries, with a total membership of around 47,000. About two-thirds of the churches are in the United States, where it all started. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana account for most of the American churches, though we have churches scattered all around the country--Florida, California, Washington, Idaho, New York, and elsewhere. Together, all of the churches in the United States comprise a "national conference" called the Church of the United Brethren in Christ, USA. Its headquarters is located in Huntington, Ind., on property adjoining the church-owned Huntington University.
I am so glad that you are interested in learning more about United Brethren in Christ Academy. Please feel free to come by or call if you have any questions. I believe in Christian education and at UBICA that’s what your child will get. An education that not only has a strong core curriculum in Math, English, Spelling/Vocabulary, Science, and Social Studies but also teaches Godly character and Christian values. We believe that we are educating the leaders of tomorrow and we want those leaders to look to God for guidance in their decision making. Proverbs 22:6 tells us “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it”. We would love the opportunity to be a part of your child’s development and look forward to working with them in the future.

■Not huge. We have about 200 churches in the United States. Being huge has its advantages, but that’s not who we are.
■International. We include churches in 18 countries, and a presence in a number of others.
■Welcoming. We gladly link arms with other Christian denominations, organizations, and groups to accomplish Christ’s mission.
■Church-focused. We’re not big on denominational stuff. The local church is where things happen.
■Averse to hangups. We take stands where necessary, but avoid areas where Christians can legitimately disagree. We don’t like to scare people off or fight each other.
■Historic. We’ve been around for nearly 250 years. In fact, we were the first new denomination to begin in the New World. For whatever that’s worth.


Israel may or may not have the nuclear bomb, but it does have a secret weapon more powerful than any force arrayed against it. Prayer. How should we pray for Israel? The Scripture gives us key guidance. Rather than going through a list of items to pray for, here is timeless direction from the Scripture. When doing so, consider facing East – towards Jerusalem (1 Kings 8:30; 2 Chron 6:21, 32, Dan 6:10).
- Grab hold of the blessing that is for all the nations, by blessing Israel. Abraham is promised ‘I will bless those who bless you’ (Gen. 12:3).
- ‘Pray for shalom in Yerushalayim; may those who love you prosper’ (Psalm 122:6). This is not merely political peace, but shalom. It is G-d’s peace, for all who inhabit the city, Jew, Arab or other.
- Pray that the people of Israel will ‘humble themselves, pray’ and seek the Face of Hashem. The promise for Israel is that as they bear His name, if they do so He ‘will hear from heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land’ (2 Chron 7:14).
- Pray for those who persecute Israel and the Jewish people. While on account of our love for Israel they are also our enemies, as our Messiah said, ‘But I tell you, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!’
- Pray for Messiah’s coming Kingdom, as our Messiah has taught us (Matt 6:10) ‘May your Kingdom come, your will be done on earth as in heaven. We might be tempted to ‘spiritualize’ this prayer, but it also speaks of Messiah’s coming literal reign in Jerusalem!
- Pray that when the day comes that when ‘the abomination that causes devastation spoken about through the prophet Daniel’ is ‘standing in the Holy Place’ that the Jewish people ‘will not have to escape in winter or on Shabbat’ (Matt 24:15, 21).
- Join with our Jewish people in the Scripturally based prayers of the Amidah: ‘Cause us to return, our Father, to Your Torah; draw us near, our King, to Your service; and bring us back to You in whole-hearted repentance. Blessed are You L-rd, who desires penitence’ and ‘Sound the great shofar for our freedom; raise a banner to gather our exiles, and bring us together from the four corners of the earth into our land. Blessed are You L-rd, who gathers the dispersed of His people Israel.’
As we pray for Israel, we can be encouraged that ‘The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective’ (James 5:16)!


Welcome to Heavenly Vision India
The modern society boasts about high-tech inventions, artificial satellites, discovery of the genetic code, modern communication devices, computers and robots. In the past few decades cure for some of the most dreadful diseases have been found. Our generation has seen a breathtaking increase in knowledge and technology, unimaginable to those of even a hundred years ago. Advances in communication, transport medicine, materials science, electronics, and nuclear physics, to name a few, are products of this age of increased knowledge and opportunity.
At the same time, we are informed through the newspapers, the TV and the internet about the severe moral degradation to our society accompanied with high suicide rates, group suicides, broken families, brutal killings, abortions and corruption in all spheres of life. We also hear about natural calamities like earthquakes, tsunami, cyclones and floods occurring in each and every part of the world. Despite man's preoccupation with knowledge and academic pursuits man today lives in fear of catastrophic changes that are occurring in the world's weather patterns: more extreme temperatures, more severe cyclones, floods and droughts.
The signs and symptoms prevailing these days, indicate that we are living in the last days and the coming of Jesus Christ is at hand. The gospel of Jesus Christ has been proclaimed in this great nation of India and around the world for the past 19 centuries. Nevertheless, the gospel of Jesus Christ has yet to be preached in all parts of India before His coming.
Heavenly Vision India is a registered religious charitable trust, founded by Pr.Shoban Raj who hails from an orthodox Hindu religious background. He tasted the Lord Jesus Christ when he was miraculously healed from a leg amputation after he met with a severe road accident. Heavenly Vision India was formed with a primary aim of reaching the unreached areas in India and the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Based in Nedumangad, near Trivandrum in the southern state of Kerala, India, Heavenly Vision India has been proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ all around India for more than a decade now.

|Majestic, presiding over the Mediterranean, Rock of Gibraltar|
I must have walked past so many times and yet it was only a few evenings ago, taking the dog out for an evening stroll, that I noticed the stone angel mourning in a discreet corner of the road as it curved past the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity and towards Line Wall Road, Commonwealth Park, the marina and the spread of sea beyond. The sun, just beginning to set over the Spanish hills on the western side of the bay was shaded by the Cathedral and as its creamy walls glowed in the rosen sunlight, I was struck by the juxtaposition of the exotic, the colourful, bright, sunlit Mediterranean and the sober discreet Englishness of a little stone memorial, set in its own rose garden, more reminiscent of a country parish in the home counties than of a bustling city carved into a Moorish fortress turned colonnial outpost.
|Unexpected memorial at Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, Gibraltar|
Consecrated in 1838, the Cathedral is Anglican in a staunchly Roman Catholic city, and, to my view at least, could be easily mistaken for a mosque, its arched windows and very square, squat walls reminiscent of Spanish archeaology which itself is redolent of the Arabic influence of Al-Andalus. It is surrounded by palm trees, and looking eastwards, you can see towering above it, draped in its wild olive trees, carob and pines, the majestic Rock of Gibraltar. Overhead swoop chattering gulls and higher up, tiny black specks which could be birds of prey circling. The vista is most un-English, yet enter the Cathedral and you are in a cool, hushed space filled with the dignified calm of any other Anglican church I have ever stepped in.
|Arabic archways and leaning palm trees|
|Cathedral of Saint Mary the Crowned|
|Ocean Village, development and yachts, another part of Gibraltar culture|
|Mosque at Europa Point, Gibraltar|
I stroll round again to the "weeping angel" tucked in the corner surrounded by roses. It is lovely. I have lived in England long enough to consider it my home as much as I do Gibraltar and I have to catch my breath in sudden homesickness.
|Stone angel in perpetual mourning|
Politics aside, I myself am a product of a mix of cultures, not one, nor the other, just me, my own unique mix. Perhaps that is what being Gibraltarian is these days: not ex-English Colonnial, not ex-Spanish through local intermarraige; not Genoese, not Portuguese, not Maltese, not Moroccan, not Indian, despite our roots being linked to any number of these. We are who we are, unique individuals, uniquely Gibraltarian.
I ponder on this now and again, and wonder how so many people from so many different backgrounds can so calmly live and work together, combine their pasts and create new futures together. I am convinced, though through instinct, not through scientific fact and dry data, that this is one of the reasons why Gibraltar is a survivor and why it forges onwards whatever difficulties are thrown in its path. One of my ponderings led me to wonder what happens when someone from one culture falls in love with someone from another. It is a question with thousands of answers, one tackled by artists and writers and story tellers since time immemorial. So I wrote "The Promise". It is a short story. You can download it from Amazon. But here's a taster, to make you think.

I Give You My Heart - Hillsong
Today, God embraces me. Again.
How human am I to ditch this blog only a few days after I created it.
At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. As Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you, I am well pleased.” At once the Spirit sent him out into the desert, and he was in the desert forty days being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him.
I’m reading Mark again and I feel like every time I read certain parts of the Bible I react to it differently. For starters, this is a section that I usually just skimmed over but there are too many things to comment in this short passage.
1. “heaven being torn open”…what does that even look like? I feel frustrated with the limitations of my own imagination. Did only Jesus see it? I feel like it would be a sight too great for any human to see and John would’ve died instantly, but then again, he went to heaven so…
2. “Spirit descending on him like a dove” is such beautiful, graceful, glorious imagery. What is it like to be Jesus? My sin is preventing me from experiencing the fullness of God’s love.
3. “You are my Son, whom I love; with you, I am well pleased.” It just blows my mind away that God calls me His own and therefore loves me just as much as He loves Jesus, His own, perfect, flawless Son. This line makes me want to pour out everything I have, do everything that I can to hear God say look at my life and say “I am well pleased” although at this point I may have blown my chances already…but still, there is redemption so I will try again and again.
4. As soon as God tells Jesus that He loves him and is well pleased, He sends him off, alone, for 40 days with the sole purpose to be tempted. I’m sure Jesus knew that he was going to overcome it, but how painful and psychologically tormenting must have each moment been. 40 days. Sorry, I can’t wrap my head around the fact that you are tempted for 40 days without cracking. That just goes to show Jesus’s perfection, something that I cannot even imagine for myself. He was only with the wild animals and the angels attended Him. I’m in a world with other people, not lonely, not by myself, and I have the Holy Spirit attending me constantly. Yet, I still fail, day after day. And God, He embraces me again, day after day. I am so lucky. I am so blessed.

Friends of the Pilgrimfathers' Church
Foundation Friends of the Pilgrimfathers’ Church at Rotterdam-Delfshaven (Stichting Vrienden van de Oude of Pelgrimvaderskerk te Rotterdam-Delfshaven)
This foundation was established in 1993 in order to support the church in the broadest sense of the word. Preserving the church building as a monument and its development into the ecclesiastical and cultural centre of Delfshaven are its main aim.
Support by preserving, maintaining and modernising the interior of the church, as well as assisting in acquiring fundraising partners are emphasised.
In the 1990s the Foundation played a key role in the restoration of both the church organ and the church building by finding sponsors and by paying from funds raised by the “Friends” themselves. They also aided in enabling purchases for the church interior and helped to fund the mounting of the Pilgrim Presentation, the permanent exhibition about the Pilgrim Fathers, as well as the refurnishing of the Study Room and the renovation of the Klockhuys.
To continue our efforts we are very much indebted to our Friends for financial support. We would benefit greatly from gaining as many Friends as possible, not only because it means we can do more, but also because it enlarges, broadens and strengthens the support base for the church, so it can continue to be a hub of cultural activity in Delfshaven.
Therefore, please consider becoming a friend. In order to do so, send a message, preferably by e-mail, with your name, address and telephone number to the contact address below.
For the annual fee of € 25 (minimum) we will keep you informed of what is happening in the church and the foundation. Information about events that are being organised in the church can be found by navigating to the homepage of this website. https://www.oudeofpelgrimvaderskerk.nl/en/

This year Greg and I decided to brave the family oriented Easter service at our church, Church of the Resurrection. Pastor Hamilton had billed this service as a more relaxed (and noisier – which should have been our clue) service that included a children’s message so we thought it would be a good experience for the girls. They usually attend Sunday school while Greg and I enjoy the service. It was held on Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m. so we got all dressed up in our Easter best and piled in the Odyssey.
When we walked in the sanctuary, they had put together some coloring pages and offered free crayons for the kids which we thought was some awesome pre-planning on their part. The twins’ attention waned by about 10 minutes into the service despite the coloring activity, though, and we spent the next 50 minutes trying to quiet them and keep them in their seats. Madison colored the entire time, but every time she colored even one little piece of the picture she wanted to show it to me to get my approval. And surprisingly, none of the girls were interested in going up to the front for the children’s message.
Needless to say, I don’t remember what Pastor Hamilton’s sermon was about. I can guess because a) I have a good imagination and a working knowledge of the Bible, and b) I have attended plenty of Easter services in my life. But when the ordeal was over and Greg and I were sitting next to each other in the Odyssey comparing notes we agreed that we should just accept the fact that we probably won’t be enjoying an Easter service for a few more years. His suggestion on how to keep them quiet and occupied next year: more colors and coloring books. Mine: Benadryl.
Hope you all enjoyed a beautiful Easter weekend with your families.


The God the true Christians serve has His own timing
I am responding to a recent letter by Mr. Pantlitz concerning the question about the Church being dead.
Mr. Pantlitz, there is much truth in what you have written and I understand your frustration.
The Church is not the building or the various administrations of the “Church”. Jesus the Christ is the Head of the Church and wherever two or more are gathered in His Name, there He shall be and whatever they ask in His Name will be fulfilled. Further, whatever they bind on earth, is bound in Heaven and whatever they release on earth, is released in Heaven.
Christianity is about having Christ in you and not necessarily warming the pews/benches in the building called the Church, on Saturdays/Sundays.
Many a true Christian has objected vociferously also by letters, to the discrepancies within the “Church” and elsewhere.
The God whom the true Christians serve, has His own timing since ours is not His, to deal appropriately with the perpetrators.
Pedophilia, adultery and fornication exist also in other religious circles and in some cases, these acts are successfully hidden from the public.
Witchcraft is an act of adultery against God as well.
What, Sir, we must do, is to agree in prayer, calling down the Wrath of God upon the perpetrators of the afore-mentioned un-Godly acts.

In December I was asked by our Rev. Roy Mitchell to accompany the Advent service at Buncombe Street United Methodist Church by painting a live painting during the opening music and sermon. It was quite a challenge because I only had about 15-18 minutes to complete the painting. The message of the sermon was, basically, how Christ is the light in the darkness. I chose to start with a totally black canvas (representing darkness) and painted quickly, using bold brush strokes and colors. I purposely let some of the paint drip, depicting how life can be messy. As I added layer upon layer, the image began to appear. But the folks in the congregation had a hard time figuring out what I was painting.
The painting represents to me how Jesus is the only way we can see positive light in a dark tragic situation. The idea stemmed from a personally tragic situation our family experienced last summer. Our youngest son developed a strong friendship with a set of twin boys from Columbia that he met during a summer on Edisto. Lee introduced us to Thomas and MacRae Few, and later their entire family, who we knew marginally through our brother in law who grew up in Greenwood with their daddy, Wes Few. We became fast friends with the Few family as Thomas was roommates with our nephew, Hudson, at Clemson and MacRae was enrolled at The Citadel as a knob with Lee.
Last summer Thomas suffered a tragic fall in Clemson and died as a result of his injuries. The world of the Few family, 20-year olds across our state, and our own family were darkened beyond comprehension. But the way the Few family and our church, primarily led by Pastor Justin, responded to the grief of our community were such a light and beacon to our Lord God and His unconditional love and peace!
So, when I was asked to paint this theme, I asked Mary Wesley Few (one of my art students and the youngest Few child) to help me with the painting. When we finished, we flipped the painting upside down, and then it was evident to the congregation that the subject matter was a group of candles, lit brightly, in the darkness…much as we remember Thomas, a beautiful bright light in our midst. The painting will hang in the almost-completed Thomas H. Few H2O House at the Frazee Center which will provide a place for marginalized families to bring their children for showers and a laundry facility.


Today is the day to start engaging in a dialogue between Europe and Africa which means it is time to change our language to English. I feel very proud and humble to introduce you to the thoughts of my good friend Tristan Kapp. He is Afrikaans and also studies Theology at the University of Pretoria. The last days, he and I have talked a lot about the topic of Reconciliation and Justice in South Africa and what it means to us as young theology students.
Tristan says about this article: „It’s a really controversial, yet important topic. But I pray and trust this to inspire you as it did me to strive towards reconciliation.“
Thank you Tristan for allowing me to share your insights with my friends in Europe as well as in Africa by posting it on this platform.
This article is dedicated to someone who has become my good friend over the past few weeks. Anna: A German Theology exchange student from Frankfurt visiting our Theology Faculty at the University of Pretoria. This topic, as seen above is quite recent and ‘fresh’, as I only discovered it this morning. – For those of you who do not know; I am a Theology student at the University of Pretoria in South Africa. But that which everybody in the world have come to know is: The thing that we as South Africans still struggle with to this day is the concept of reconciliation. However, after a fantastic and insightful discussion this morning with my friend Anna -as well as something that happened to me this morning. The Lord has provided me with some new insight on this controversial issue. But for starters, I will explain this from an African premise and in a South African context. However, this is a universal problem and not something that is to be regarded in a bias.
Today on my way to campus, I started having a conversation with a random guy who took the lift to the 2nd level with me on the Gautrain station. After introducing myself and what I do, we started talking about a topic concerning Politics and Theology: Christ, the African struggle for land, and the reconciliation of these two concepts with each other. When he introduced himself, he told me that he is currently a lawyer for the EFF currently doing his Masters degree in Law (LLM). Now this guy, challenged quite intellectually – and excitingly so – with this heated argument that is quite controversial (and yet very topical) within the South African political context. This argument however is not his own, but is an ideal driven by the very controversial pro-African organisation named the ‘Economic Freedom Fighters’ (EFF) under leadership of Julius Malema, with which this man associates himself with.
Malema, the former leader of the ‘African National Congress: Youth League’ (ANCYL) once supported the ascension to presidency of the now immensely corrupt current president of South Africa, president Jacob Zuma. Against whom he now is fighting because of his (Zuma’s) abuse of authority and his corruption… However, Malema has been stressing throughout his career as political party leader, that Apartheid was responsible for the unequal ownership of land of ‘whites’ in comparison to the ‘impoverished black people’, and he now pioneers the initiative that white people should return the land which originally belonged to black South Africans, robbed of them by white colonialists, so that it could be ‘equally distributed’.
Yet, whatever the case might be, I am by no authority to play the judge in this debacle because I am not knowledgeable enough to have an opinion on this particular matter. However, now that I have illustrated a bit of context, I am indeed able to provide an ideal of something that I do consider myself to have an avid understanding of: The reconciliation with people, with the love of Christ. Yet, this is not just in a South African sense, because universally we struggle with division. It’s not new to us, and we see the proof, even in the Bible where Paul writes to the church in Corinth in 1 Corinthians 11:8 “For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and in part I believe it.” Division vs. Reconciliation is not a socio-cultural or ethno-political problem. It is something that started with the fall of humanity (Adam & Eve) and has been mimicked by us throughout history. Examples of which we see in common struggles about sexuality, race, politics, gender… And even religion.
Universal concepts such as these are what the whole world has been struggling with, because each person is convicted of his own stance on each matter and refuses to accept the other’s viewpoint. But what does the Bible say about this matter? – The most used biblical piece of scripture: John 3:16 “For God so loved the WORLD; he sent his only begotten Son to die so that those who might believe in him will not perish, but gain everlasting life.” Some Christian bible-fundamentalists misconceive this Bible verse to have an individual meaning to the self. However, in its context, it instead refers to a collective. Hence, the two main paradigms: “Love” and “World.” Christ did not die for ‘certain chosen’, nor for any ‘certain favourites’. Because Christ doesn’t have any favourites, except everything that lives and breathes. Jesus did not come to save skin, gender, or politics or even religion. He came to save all people, from their brokenness, in relationship. Not just with him. But with all others and ourselves. Because in him we are reconciled with ourselves and inevitably, holistically so with others.
Christ’s love was so complete on the cross that the very second he breathed his last, all division was blown away! Matthew records a fantastic example of this in Matthew 27:51 “And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split…” In those days, the temple was divided in three parts. Each part holier than the next, and each chamber with stricter access than the next, and the holiest part of the temple only being exclusively accessible to the Priests alone. But the whole idea of the temple tearing in half was the example of Christ making the biggest move toward reconciliation ever! And in doing so, saying that the temple and the Kingdom of God can now be accessed by everyone and anyone regardless of who and what they are. Each sinner, having the intrinsic yearning for forgiveness… – Reconciliation… And if we then truly abide in Christ who is love, we cannot stay in division with anyone, anymore. Because if we don’t show the same compassion and mercy given to us, to others, unconditionally. We cannot expect to receive this gracious gift from the primary giver, who is Christ.
Matthew 6:14-15 “For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” – In his book, “Ich und Du” (I and Thou). The Austrian, Jewish Philosopher, Martin Buber speaks about “Dialogical Personalism”. This concept speaks about two types of relationships: “I-It” and “I-Thou” relations. The first concept (I-it), discusses the relationship between a subject (I) and an object (it). The relationship that a person has toward a pen. The person = the subject and the Pen = the object is exemplary to this non-reciprocal relationship. In other words, The subject does not contribute to the object’s existence, as it has no active subjectivity. Neither does the object contribute to the subject’s existence. For it is merely used as a tool to benefit the subject. However, the second concept discusses the relationship between a subject (I) and the other subject (Thou). This is can be associated with the relationship that one person has with another person.
Contrary to the previous model, this model is a mutually reciprocal relationship (where both parties contribute to each other’s existence, because of their mutual-subjectivity.) An example can be made from two people having a conversation and exchanging subjects of interest with each other in order to get to know each other better.
This relationship can be seen as equal, because both parties are actively engaged in a mutually beneficial relationship: Two people starting off as strangers, reconciling their individuality with the individuality of the significant other, hence becoming a collective. (“Friends” if you will) But that which makes the intention of this model so interesting is the fact that one subject (I) regards the other subject (Thou) higher than themselves. – Well, at least that’s how it should be. Yet, this is exactly what Jesus also teaches and practices in the New Testament. The denial of the self (I) is the truest act of love shown unconditionally in order to benefit another (Thou). It attributes a significant importance to the existence of the other person. Mark 10:45 “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
True Love is one of the only non-verbal positions; devoid of the self and filled with the needs and desires of another. If we are unable to grasp this concept and practice it indiscriminately, in Christ and through Christ, towards one-another. Then reconciliation cannot and will never take place… We as Christians are called to reconcile ourselves with Christ, with all people, through Christ. This is not for any individual or spiritual gain, but for the collective gain which all people will receive when reconciliated with each other in the Kingdom of God! Because God chose to love first; we are able to love, through the salvation found in Christ and the convicting power through the Holy Spirit. Our existence is mercy and everything we have is given. Therefore, we are in no position to selectively show love to those whom we think deserve it or not, because we ourselves don’t deserve it. Freely given to us, and demands to be freely shared by us.
And to conclude. Reconciliation cannot be secular, because love is not secular. Christ is that love! And if we do not have Christ, we do not have love. And if we do not have love; we are empty of the Holy Sprirt, who is the very essence of the source being God. Through whom only, reconciliation can be brought about in unconditional love. Acts 20:35 “In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

Billionaire Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin Blesses NYSC Corpers With 3 Million Naira At Mercy City Wealth Transfer Programme
In a surprising and heartwarming display of generosity, Billionaire Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin recently donated over three million naira to National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) corpers at the just concluded wealth transfer programme held in Mercy City, Warri.
Prophet Fufeyin, who is the founder and leader of Christ Mercyland Deliverance Ministry, took the opportunity to show his unwavering support for young graduating Nigerians who serve at his ministry. The donation was made during the wealth transfer programme, which is an annual event focused on the transfer of wealth and blessings from God to his followers.
The multimillionaire Prophet’s donation was met with cheerful and excited responses from NYSC corpers who are serving in different ministries at Mercy City. Some of the beneficiaries expressed gratitude for the unexpected and timely gesture of love and support.
Prophet Fufeyin has been known for his kind and charitable acts in different parts of the world. Despite being a billionaire, he is very passionate about supporting people in all walks of life and gives generously to causes that he believes in.
Speaking about his latest donation, Prophet Fufeyin emphasized the importance of giving back to society and supporting the less fortunate in society. He further encouraged the NYSC corpers to stay committed and dedicated to their work, as he urged them to continue serving God and humanity with all their hearts.
The Billionaire’s donation is a symbolic example of how the church community can show support and solidarity to young graduating Nigerians as they embark on a new journey in their respective lives. Indeed, this act of kindness by Prophet Fufeyin will remain a memorable moment in the lives of the NYSC corpers who were touched by his generosity.

Middle School Services
High School Services
Sunday Morning is a time for you, 6-12th grade students, to get together, worship with peers, and hear the word. Student lead worship bands lead us in worship, prayer, and music as a large group each service. Depending on your grade, Middle School (6-8) heads to sunday school classes lead by an adult leader while High School (9-12) receives a message in a large group setting.
If you're looking for a place to ask questions about Jesus, just starting in your faith, or are looking to get deeper into your relationship with Christ, this is both a great starting place and a great home for you. Student Ministries provides a fun and interactive worship and learning experience every Sunday morning.
Summer Sermon Series
The two main questions every student asks are, “Who am I?” and, “What am I here for?” This series will help students finally get answers to both of those questions. We live in a culture that values shallow, superficial, and temporary things. Students are told lies all day about what’s important in life, and how to be important in life. This dramatically affects their view of their identity and their value—and though we can’t un-hear the lies of the enemy, we can replace them with the truth from God’s Word.
In this four-part series, students will learn that their identity is not dependent on what others say about them, or even what they say about themselves, but by what God says about them.
There's some serious power in the word "belonging". Cliques, clubs, teams...there is always some group or another that students are trying to belong to in order to be connected and find value. But what the world offers easily is ultimately fleeting. Only what God provides, and the belonging that comes from being with him, can truly satisfy.
In the next five weeks, we expose some of the world's most deceptive lies about belonging. On the flip side, you'll also develop a picture of how the church can be a place where everyone belongs. Join us as we explore the scriptures for this study.
Midweek ministries are a place for you to connect and learn about Jesus with your peers in a youth group setting. Full of fun, leaders, activities and the word. Find the ministry thats right for you...
