  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." Apostles were given the authority to preach the gospel, perform miracles, and establish churches in different parts of the world. They were also tasked with preserving the teachings of Jesus and spreading his message to future generations.   In addition to the twelve apostles chosen by Jesus, the New Testament also mentions other apostles, including Paul, who was not one of the original twelve but was chosen by Jesus after his resurrection.

  The Bible is a book that offers guidance, wisdom, and inspiration for all aspects of life, including how we live our daily lives as Christians. Throughout the Old and New Testaments, there are numerous principles and guidelines that can help us navigate the challenges and opportunities of daily life, and deepen our relationship with God.   These principles are rooted in a deep love for God and a desire to follow His will, and offer practical guidance for how we can live out our faith in our daily interactions with others, our work and leisure activities, and our personal and spiritual growth.   In this context, some of the key principles that can be applied daily include loving God above all else, loving our neighbors as ourselves, praying regularly and seeking God's guidance, reading and studying the Bible to grow in faith and knowledge, trusting in God's plan and providence, forgiving others as God forgives us, serving others with humility and love, avoiding sin a

  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
