(1) Every Verse Of The Bible Is Connected.Genesis 1:1 is connected to Zephaniah 3:17 which is connected to Revelations 22:13 which is connected to Romans 11:25 which is connected to Songs of Solomon 6:8.
Now thoseđare verses I randomly selected off the top of my head. (I donât even know what some of them say.)
There was a certain city, and in that city, there was severe drought.
The people thirsted desperately for fresh water and, in their bid to keep from dying of thirst, began to invent other liquids.
Like most man-made inventions, however, these addictive fluids didnât fully satisfy. They only caused a temporary high which wore off after sometime.
The first time I heard this statement from a minister, I chuckled, like most people in the congregation. It was more than the statement itself; it was the way he said it – and the wicked grin on his face when he did:

A young lad was brought to stay with us. His English was really bad. He could barely hear or speak the language.
When I spoke to him, I tried to speak slowly and in broken (Nigerian pidgin English) so he could understand me.
I started, âWetin be yourâŚ?â
Immediately, my mum interrupted me sharply. âNo.â
One of my favourite games, for years, was Candy Crush. I liked it because it didnât require intense brain-work – so I could concentrate on the messages I listened to while I played.
Like most games, it has boosters which make it easy for you to scale through a difficult level and move on quicker to the next one. Read More…
