I had decided to write about our experiences in Israel but I couldn’t start without sharing what God said to me in the beginning of this beautiful Biblical story… &#8220;Now the LORD said to Samuel, &#8220;How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have &#8230; <a href="http://www.uckg.org.za/growing-spiritually/no-more-shoulders/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[People have been aware of sacrifice since ancient times. It began in the Garden of Eden. The Almighty had to sacrifice an animal to cover up Adam and Eve’s nakedness, thereby replacing the fig leaves—the devil’s inspiration. The fig leaves symbolize religion’s intent to cover up the nakedness of sin without sacrifice. In general, even evangelical churches do this. They &#8230; <a href="http://www.uckg.org.za/growing-spiritually/sacrifice-for-life/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When we submit to the discipline of the Kingdom of God, everything that happens works out for our own good. Do you know why? Because the Almighty is in perfect control of everything in His Kingdom. Do you believe this? One of the most serious problems for the people of God is their love life.

		<description><![CDATA[When reading the Bible, we should always bear two things in mind: the practical and the non-practical information. The practical information not only helps us to change, but it also shapes our behaviour before God and before others. The non-practical information, however, only helps us to gather knowledge that adds nothing to our behaviour. It’s like strange tongues, which can’t &#8230; <a href="http://www.uckg.org.za/growing-spiritually/practical-faith-3/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The will of the Almighty has to do with His children and servants&#8217; daily conduct, according to His character. It is the relationship between child and Father, servant and Lord. What did God want for His Son Jesus that He doesn’t want for mankind? Does God see mankind differently from the way He saw His Son and Servant Jesus?

		<description><![CDATA[One question that often arises among church members is, &#8220;Why don’t my dreams ever come true?&#8221; People explain that they have believed in God since they were young, and have always lived according to His Word, but their faithfulness and the fact that their dreams never come true seem to be a big contradiction.

		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever noticed how difficult it is for a person who is overweight to pass through barriers? What about the discomfort when sharing a seat on a plane, train or bus? It’s obviously an embarrassing situation for all involved.

		<description><![CDATA[We cannot forget that sacrifice is the shortest distance between wanting and having what you want. No one will sacrifice unless he’s moved by an inner strength called faith. When God gave His Son to be sacrificed, He was setting an example, showing us the secret of conquering. It’s very easy to understand this: when a person believes in the &#8230; <a href="http://www.uckg.org.za/growing-spiritually/sacrifice-part-2/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
