Keep On Praying For One Another

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog KEEP ON PRAYING FOR ONE ANOTHER (James 5:16; Ephesians 6:18; 1 Thessalonians 5:25) The Power of Prayer in Our Fellowship Brethren, the Lord has given us a gift so powerful, so essential, and so neglected by many — the gift of prayer. James 5:16 says: “Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” Prayer is not just a private act; it is also a family act. God commands us to pray not only for ourselves but for one another. Why?

The Church That Never Vanished

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog The Church That Never Vanished A Study of Matthew 16:18 and the Unbroken Promise of Christ “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” — Matthew 16:18 Introduction: A Promise That Demands an Answer There is a claim that circulates through the religious world with alarming confidence and dangerous consequences. It is the claim that the church Jesus built  fell away , that it  vanished  from the earth, that it became so corrupted it ceased to exist — and that therefore, someone had to  restore  it. From this premise, entire religious movements have been built, denominations have been founded, and men have crowned themselves apostles of a "restored gospel." But I want you to stop right here, before we go one verse further, and ask yourself a simple, piercing question:  If the church Jesus built vanished...
