Dearest friends, one of the greatest challenges of our world today is the difficulty of choosing from the cacophony of voices, the one to actually LISTEN TO. Thus, a number of persons have chosen to listen to voices that have RUINED their lives; of which they are regretting today. These VOICES which constitute difficulty for us
Dearest friends, I hardly can imagine what else any of us would desire that is more than GOING to HEAVEN. Again, do you really think that there is any effort that is put in towards the attainment of Heaven that does not worth it? The above two points should always be our motivation and inspiration

Priests and priestly candidates should not run away from relationships, both with the same and the opposite sex. However, they should seriously avoid INTIMACY (Exclusive Relationship). Intimacy hardly goes without bodily expressions and that brings in the whole idea of carnal pleasure. It may start at the initial stage with gentle patting, hugging and before
Dearest friends, the mistake that a number of persons make is the erroneous assumption that the WORD of God is like any other sound or literature that can easily be understood, retained and obeyed by mere human ability. Far be it from the above! On the contrary, to understand, retain and obey the the WORD of
Dearest friends, recently, we have seen many self-proclaimed teachers on the social media. These teachers teach on variety of topics but the one that seems to be very common is SEX. The above explains the saying that: ‘Sex sells.‘ Today, many persons FOLLOW these individuals, media pages, bloggers, etc.; without taking into consideration the negative
