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?

It was not a substitute for a failed plan. It was not an invention of man. It was part of God's eternal purpose , rooted i...

The Church That Never Vanished

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog The Church That Never Vanished “…and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” — Matthew 16:18 Introduction The religious world today is filled with thousands of churches, each claiming to be “Christian,” and yet differing widely in doctrine, practice, and origin. Many insist that the original church of Christ disappeared after the death of the apostles and had to be “restored” centuries later. Others believe that all churches are equally valid, regardless of their teachings or history. This study confronts those narratives with the irrefutable testimony of Scripture: The church that Jesus Christ built never vanished. The Lord Himself guaranteed it when He declared, “…upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matt. 16:18, KJV). Every soul must confront this truth because our salvation depends not on joining any man-made denomination, but on being a member of the one ch...
