The Big Danger In Small Sins
Do you sometimes feel that small sins are alright, as long as you are not worse than other sinners? How can small sins be more dangerous than big sins? What “big” damage can “small” sins cause?
God’s Strange Yet Faithful Guidance
Many a times we may find God’s guidance “strange”. Why did He lead us on a detour when there was a shorter way? Why did He let us go the hard way instead of the easy one? Yet, do we know how much hidden dangers God had helped us evade by that “longer” path? And even if God really gives us the shortest and easiest way, will we surely follow Him?
Is God Small in Your Eyes?
Though Christians may not deny God, could we have unknowingly trivialized Him? Perhaps our circumstances make us feel that our God is small and cannot help us. Perhaps we think God is not big enough to satisfy us. Or perhaps, we secretly do not like a “big” God who controls us too much. Are we worshipping God on His terms or ours? Are we serving God or do we simply want a god who serves us?
Consecrate Yourself and Every Firstborn to God
In the relationship between God and His people, God is the major player, who initiates and sustains His relationship with us. Yet, we should have our due response too. God not only redeems His people, but He also wants His redemption to influence and shape our entire lives, such that we live to honor the One who redeemed us. As we commemorate God’s gracious redemption, are we willing to consecrate our lives to Him?
Reasoning With God
There are bound to be many things we do not understand about God, but have you ever reasoned with God? Can you agree that the Christian faith is a reasonable faith, even though reason cannot be a substitute for God? If so, with what can we use to reason with God?
Be Humble Or Be Humiliated Before God
It is not easy for us sinners to humble down, whether it is before God or men. For the natural human tendency is to exalt one’s self and insist on one’s own ways, rather than to yield to another being. Therefore, God has to keep humbling men down, reminding them of His sovereignty and superiority. What is your response in the face of the mighty God? Can we gain anything from being stubborn against God?
Are You Treating “Holy” Things As “Common”?
Why do you think some Christians are unhappy, despite being saved by the most gracious and delightful God? What is still standing between them and God? What happens if Christians stop distinguishing between the unclean and the clean, the holy and the common?
God Saves Us To Sanctify Us
Why did God ask the Israelites not to eat bread with yeast during the Passover and the festival of unleavened bread? What is the significance of “leaven (yeast)” in this case? How does it shed light on God’s heart for us after He saves us? What is God doing in our lives and demanding from us after we received His salvation?
“When I See The Blood, I Will Pass Over You”
Why was the Passover so important that God even instructed the Israelites to change their annual calendar to mark the Passover month as the first month of their year? And what is so significant about Christ’s blood? Why is it that nothing but the blood of Jesus can save? The answers to these questions are not only important for the Israelites, but they also hold serious implications even for us today.
Why Every Christian Should Care About Theology?
Do you feel that theology should only be the interest of pastors and church leaders, but not laypersons? Most believers are simply concerned about how God can solve their problems and give them what they want. The right beliefs may not matter as much to them as having the “right outcomes” they desired. But why is having the right theology important? Why should every Christian be concerned about theology?
