March 23, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

“2 Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it!” (Hebrews 13:2). One of the first things we teach our children is “don’t talk to strangers.” Spiritually speaking, every lesson we learn about welcoming strangers is the exact opposite of what we teach our children.… Read More »

We Were Reborn

March 22, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

“Many Christians have the mistaken notion that eternal life begins when they die. But that is not biblically accurate.

There are many… Read More »

From a Taker to a Giver

March 21, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

“We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.” ~ Winston Churchhill We have all heard the famous words from Jesus, “It’s more blessed to give than receive” (Acts 20:35).

The Purpose of the Cross

March 19, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

“When we walk without the cross, when we build without the cross and when we proclaim Christ without the cross, we are not disciples of the Lord. We are worldly. We may be bishops, priests, cardinals, popes, all of this, but we are not disciples of the Lord.” ~ Pope Francis If asked about the… Read More »

God’s No Return Policy

March 15, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

“Fame is temporary; make it long-term by putting smiles on people’s hearts and helping others by expecting nothing in return. Be famous and unforgettable for your Unconditional Love.” ~ Arsi Nami I recently signed up to donate my body to science, and once they viewed the photos, they demanded a return on their investment. I… Read More »

Learning To Invite The Uninvited

March 10, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

 “Love and Death are two uninvited guests when they will come, nobody knows, but both do the same work; one takes heart, and the other takes its beats.” ~ Nishan Panwar Have you ever not been invited to a special event when you wanted to attend?

Forgive Others

March 5, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

“There’s nothing that can be done to us or against us that we cannot forgive.” ~ Zach Zehnder Since we are forgiven people, we must be forgiving people, regardless of the harm inflicted. The act of forgiveness may seem impossible, but if God has forgiven humankind, offered us free grace, and the ability to be… Read More »

Contagious Faith

February 26, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

Have you ever fantasized about being invisible? What would you do if you could be invisible for a day? It’s hard to be invisible physically. We can be out of sight and out of mind from society, but it’s impossible to be invisible to God. God always knows our heart, whereabouts, and present circumstances. When… Read More »
