The pastor urged the congregation to give generously to the church building fund stressing the benefits it would offer the saints. He drew on the generosity shown for the tabernacle and the temple in a bid to press home the importance. All this for what appeared the umpteenth time. The sister opened her front door […]
Read More DeathIt is my great honour and privilege to know some brilliant people. They may not be household names around the world, but as far as I am concerned they are big names in my household. There was a chance for me to big up some of my friends to other friends. It felt great giving […]
Read More HallelujahWhat I love about Daryl Coley is that in as much as he has the vocal techniques and he can master songs of different styles, what makes him so good is his ability to genuinely seek God in His singing. A song like this is such a great case in point. Coley is on top […]
