Faith is Half the Battle!

Last updated on: May 28, 2026 at 9:07 am By Tonia Renee Lee

Faith arguably is half the battle in life. This is a central theme with God’s chosen people. Esther exhibited that unshakable faith and saved her people. Emma Lazarus also exhibited strong faith. Emma Lazarus Examining Emma Lazarus’s work, “The New Colossus,” an outline of the inner struggle and turmoil experienced by the oppressed is revealed.

Last updated on: May 31, 2025 at 1:45 pm By Tonia Renee Lee

Forming relationships involves significant effort and dedication. Establishing a loving relationship necessitates love, time, effort, and commitment. There are distinct types of relationships encompassing numerous aspects of our lives, including familial relationships, educational relationships, professional relationships, romantic relationships, and platonic relationships. For most individuals, 85-95% of their time is spent with their partner, family, and colleagues. Friendships and associations tend to be secondary. This observation holds for my personal experience.

What is the Holy Spirit?

Last updated on: April 25, 2025 at 11:05 pm By Tonia Renee Lee

Who or what the Holy Spirit Is I am revisiting a paper I wrote while a law student at Oral Roberts University. This article discusses who and what the Holy Spirit is. While I do not claim to hold all the answers, the topic is worthy of discussion. The Holy Spirit, referred to in the Bible as the Spirit of God, is a divine presence that plays a pivotal role in guiding, comforting, and empowering believers. The concept of the... Read more

Made For Each Other

Last updated on: March 20, 2025 at 7:08 am By Tonia Renee Lee

The man and the woman were made for each other. Scriptures that correlate with marital relationships are plentiful. In the beginning, God created roles for both men and women before the fall of man. This is conveyed in Genesis 1:26, which reads:” Let us make humankind in our image, and the likeness of ourselves; and let them rule over the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the animals, and all over the Earth, and over every crawling creature...

Yeshua, the Ethical Leader: Our Best Model

Last updated on: January 31, 2025 at 1:20 am By Tonia Renee Lee

Last updated on: December 30, 2024 at 7:33 am By Tonia Renee Lee

Succession planning is important for organizations if they want to continue their mission. This is true even for religious places of worship. Church leadership and succession planning should not rely on one person but be workable even in their absence. Our Messiah Yeshua even realized this.

Why and How to Worship

Last updated on: October 21, 2024 at 10:18 am By Tonia Renee Lee

Worshipping Worship is an integral part of our relationship with God and Yeshua. John 4:24 (CJB): conveys: “God is spirit, and worshippers must worship him spiritually and truly.” Today, I would like to discuss why and how we worship. We will examine whether there is a best method of worship and how to reach people for Yeshua. Again and again, we constantly face format issues when it comes to worshipping.
