Birthdays are not just special occasions that mark the anniversary of our physical birth. Spiritual and physical births are gifts of God. While spiritual birth prepares us for eternal residence, physical birthdays are an annual reminder of our earthly and limited existence, a day to celebrate and thank God for the journey of life and the milestones we have achieved. Beyond the delightful aspects of receiving birthday wishes from our loved ones and friends, birthdays afford a chance to reflect on the past year and to set goals and intentions for the year ahead. Beyond being about numbers, birthdays...

The imagery’ darkness shall cover the earth, thick darkness; the people point to nations, homes, and churches. Darkness should lead to a new day. Hence, the call to arise and shine for our Light has come. Even...

Deaconess Matilda Sobogun, at 70, reminds us of Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:19-21: “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth . . . but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven . . . for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” She lives sacrificially, even as a Brigade Commandant.

Deaconess Sobogun, a humble widow, is extraordinarily generous out of her love for Jesus alone by her example that resonates with a nameless widow in the Gospel of Mark chapter 12; our Lord...
