Ghana News, Pentecost News
“For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.” – Jude  1:4 The epistle of Jude is short and yet a very profound treatise in scripture. The brief nature of this epistle makes for an easy read but the contents engender deep contemplations. Jude, the writer, intended to share on the common salvation we have received but strongly added his voice to the ‘SECRET SLIP Ins’ that have crept into the Church unawares. This short exposition is to highlight one of them which is becoming a growing disturbance in contemporary times. Let me state that this submission is not from the condemnato...

The subdued level of the PMI reflects private sector weakness—with activity being held back for seven straight months.” “New orders and output have been trending down for many months. Rising input costs, on the ba...
