Bible Study: What Does the Bible Say About the Baptism in the Holy Spirit?
The Bible presents baptism in the Holy Spirit as a distinct empowering experience for believers after salvation. According to Assemblies of God doctrine, its purpose is power for witness and Christian service, and its initial physical evidence is speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.

Online Church: When One Believer Suffers, the Whole World Prays
When one believer suffers, the Church does not look away. Because we belong to Christ, another believer’s grief becomes a call to compassion, intercession, and faithful presence. Prayer cannot undo every loss, but it joins us to suffering Christians, strengthens the weary, and declares that violence will never have the final word. This week’s reports from Nigeria and Mexico remind us that the worldwide Church is not an abstract idea. It is a family made of real people, real c

News & Christian Insights: Building Communion, Not Clicks
Christian communication is most faithful when it helps people encounter Jesus and one another, not merely when it increases reach. In a digital age shaped by views, followers, and engagement rates, Christian ministry must measure success by deeper questions: Did someone feel seen? Was truth shared with grace? Did prayer begin? Did a lonely person find community? Did a screen become a doorway to discipleship? That question received fresh attention in reports from a September 2

Christian Living: How Can Christians Practice Hospitality Without Performing?
Christians practice hospitality without performing by welcoming people for God’s pleasure rather than human approval. Start with sincere love, offer what you realistically have, include people who are often overlooked, and release the need to impress. Biblical hospitality is not a flawless home or polished gathering; it is generous presence shaped by Christ’s love. Hospitality can look beautiful from the outside while feeling exhausting on the inside. A carefully prepared mea

Kids & Parents: How Do I Explain the Communion Table to My Child?

Kids & Parents: What Helps a Child Learn Self-Control in Ordinary Moments?
A child learns self-control through repeated experiences of being loved, guided, listened to, and given opportunities to practice. Warm connection, predictable boundaries, simple routines, emotion coaching, patient modeling, and specific encouragement help children pause, name what they feel, choose a wise response, and try again when they make mistakes. Self-control is not formed in one dramatic lesson. It grows in the small spaces of family life: waiting for a turn, stoppin
