The Truth About Lent

The Truth About *Lent*

By

Kenneth M Hoeck

Millions of Christians are observing 40 days of repentance and fasting, as a ‘prelude’ to Easter. The basis for this observance, they claim, is found in Romans 5:20. For some, Lent is observed after having spent a week in riotous living (Mardi Gras), the theory being that if you're going to spend 40 days repenting of sins, you should have plenty of sins to repent of. But is Lent Biblical? For the real facts… Continue

Together As One...

The man carries the vision, he is the provider, protector, and the keeper of his mate. For he has dominion as a King for he fears God, acknowledges him in every thing he does. He is obedient to the unction of the Holy Spirit, and is a sell out towards walking in divine purpose and destiny for the Kingdom of Heaven. He is about his fathers business in every aspect of his life. For he honors, respects, loves his wife as Jesus love the church. For anointing respects anointing, and iron sharpens… Continue

Reflection

Beloveds, we should always take time out of a 24 hour day to do three things, have a morning devotion, a noon day meditation and at the end of our evening before going to bed a time for "REFLECTION" on our day. We need to ask ourselves, did I give God his praise, did I help or encourage somebody, and lastly did I do in Romans 12:1, "my reasonable service..." Reasonable service does not mean the least we can do but a Godly Standard of righteousness.

I must be truthful many times I fail to… Continue

BRING HAPINESS INTO THE LIGHT OF THINGS

I LIKE THE IDEA OF BEING PROSPERIOUS AND ALL, BUT PEOPLE HAVE CHANGED THE DEFINITION OF WHAT IT MEAN TO BE HAPPY, I BELIEVE THAT HAPPINESS COMES FROM WITHIN AND WHATEVER WE SEEK IN THIS WORLD TO FIND THAT HAPPINESS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. IF WE CAN'T DEFINE OUR OWN HAPPINESS, THEN HOW CAN WE BE THE INCARNATE IMAGE OF WHAT HAPPINESS IS. IT HAS TO COME FROM THE HEART AND IT DOES COME WITH JOY. IF WHAT YOU SEEK DOES NOT GIVE YOU JOY, THEN WHY SEEK IT. THE POPULARITY… Continue

When will the Kingdom Church stand up?

I want to pose a question to the kingdom minded church? When will the church stop running for titles and positions and be ready to join together as a force to build the kingdom of God? Since I have been in the work of the Lord, I have witnessed many people both genders playing with titles to manipulate the people of God for their own agendas. We are living in a time in which the cover is about to come off the church folk, and the kingdom minded folk will rise to the top. So, which is more… Continue
