Does God accept your worship? by Robert Randle
There is doubtless unanimous agreement among believers in the Christian Church about the importance of assembling together to worship our Heavenly Father and Savior, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. The services of devotion with fervent prayers, songs of thanksgiving and praises, as well as hearing the Word of God taught to us seem to permeate the very core of our being.

The Holy Spirit bearing witness with our 'spirit' confirms and authenticates our spiritual adoption as children of God, but does even this heavenly gift substitute for our giving to God in everything we do the kind of worship that He regards as pleasing to Him? It isn't enough just to be religious and sincere but the bigger question is whether the sacrifice that is being offered to the Creator is of "Faith."

Having a form of godliness but denying its power by Robert Randle
There are many Evangelical Christian laymen and clergy who believe in divine healings. Each Church and its leadership has different interpretations and traditional teachings regarding how this spiritual grace is administered. Are conditions today such that the healings taking place occur in private and not before the assembled saints, where all can praise the Lord for his great deliverance.
Just What is the Woman's Role in the Church? by Robert Randle
It has been said, and quite truly, that women are the 'backbone' of the Church. many things would not get done in the Body of Christ were it not for the good sisters and their amazing organizational and time-management skills, spirituality, and devotion. Among more and more Christian Chrches is the prominence of women in positions which were previously almost exclusively held by men. Women are one-half of the Earth's population and control an ever-increasing amount of the wealth of the world, not to mention the old saying, "The hand that rocks the cradle guides the Nation," it should not be too surprising that women want more of an involvement in the things that pertain to life and godliness. There are many who welcome this change and there are those from the "Old School" who believe that this should not be so in the Church. The following are passages for your consideration.
Christian Mega-Churches: A Sign of the Times? by Robert Randle

These adherents to the 'Faith' were taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ in all its simplicity without any gimmicks,commercialism, merchandising, and religious entertainment or programs.
How to really worship the Lord God by Robert Randle
To offer up the worship of praise and thanksgiving to the Creator of heaven and earth is not a matter to be taken lightly. This should be a time of awe, fear, and reverential pause, reflection, and silence before offering up these spiritual things to Him. This is not a time for playing, inattentiveness and socializing.
Are you offering "strange fire" to the Lord? by Robert Randle
To offer up praises before the awesome God and Creator of the Universe for all His wonderful blessings should be accompanied by humility, love, and reverential fear. Sadly, for many parishoners it is a time of social mingling in the guise of peeudo-worship, predictable religious platitudes and feigned piety.
