But ever since I prayed that to God, He impressed upon me in prayer that I was to get married. I humbly yielded and told God that I would marry whom He arranges for me. And that was the beginning of my change of mind, and the gradual forming of my perception of marriage in the Lord which I am about to share here.
Persevere in your spiritual determinations, no matter how small they may seem to be. For He who has begun a good work in you will complete it.
Love is patient, love is kind. Love never fails. So, are we willing to sacrifice our comfort and time to fulfill the love of Christ?
While the world is currently on high alert in response to the physical pandemic, let us not neglect to also be vigilant in our spiritual lives.

The purpose of holding these spiritual meetings is to carry out the two great commissions entrusted by Lord Jesus—to tend the flock and to preach to the unbelievers.
Man must:
a) realize the vanity of life
b) understand that there is a judgment after death
c) determine to believe in the Lord Jesus
d) accept the baptism for forgiveness of sins
e) manifest the likeness of Christ
f) practice the teachings of loving God and loving man so as to complete the work of salvation.
Evangelism is the most urgent mission for the present Church and preaching itself is a noble task. The Church now is in need of people who are spiritually gifted and capable (not necessary to be highly educated) to carry this burden.
