A fan turned reporter

Ebenezer Akyirem loved to shares articles from nac.today on his WhatsApp groups, until his district rector asked him one day if he would not like to slip into the role of reporter and write his own articles.

The sacraments (64): Where the love of God breaks through

He has the whole world in His hand

This is about an object of faith so great that it does not fit into a single divine service. Good thing October has five Sundays. There will be plenty of opportunity to contemplate God’s creation, and from five different angles to boot.

Struggling for blessing

Why doesn’t God do something? Has he forgotten me? God answers questions like these and says: “You are mine!” And how does that go together? The key to this was given in a divine service held by the Chief Apostle.

The sacraments (63): The polar opposite of conjuring the dead

Is the divine service for the departed some sort of spiritualistic practice? Hardly! Anyone who claims such a thing would be contradicting the facts! After all, scholarship sees these two as polar opposites in several decisive points.
