  Apostles are individuals who were chosen by Jesus Christ during his time on earth and sent out to spread his teachings and establish his church. According to the New Testament, there were twelve apostles chosen by Jesus, including Peter, James, John, Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot.   The term "apostle" comes from the Greek word "apostolos," which means "one who is sent."

  Greetings of Peace!   Hopeless?  You don't have to be.  I'm Lloyd, and I've been a leader of a small church for almost two years while also teaching  Professional Education subjects and working as a Marketing officer for an institution.  "I made this blog to express my thoughts and realizations about life, to give hope to the hopeless. This blog will discuss themes that are important to me.  We appear to believe that life is unjust, yet in all honesty, we must recognize the balance of it all.  Faith is trusting in God and believing in His promises and purposes. It entails total dependence on God, even when circumstances do not make sense.   It entails total reliance in God, even when situations do not make sense or appear tough. Faith entails having a personal relationship with God, and it is only through faith that we can  experience His love, kindness, and mercy. This will bring order to the turmoil you're in...   My life was a mes
