The Most Important Precaution
As we take the necessary precautions against the COVID-19 pandemic, there is one important precaution which Christians cannot neglect. The Bible reminds us that if we are afraid of what can kill our body, we should be even more afraid of what can kill our soul. If we lose strength in our spirit, even if COVID-19 does not harm us, we would have been crushed by our fears, killed by our worries, and died of spiritual hunger. Even if we have not lost our freedom to a locked quarantine room, we will already lose our freedom to be enslaved by the devil’s hints and human opinions. Just as the dangers of COVID-19 cannot be taken lightly, the consequences of a failing spiritual health cannot be overlooked too.
You Are Blessed By The Lord
“Blessed by God”, yet our circumstances do not seem to match this? What is the definition of “blessing”? How would a child of God be blessed?
Jacob and Esau: A Look into God’s Election and Human Folly
Which comes first in salvation? Did we first believe in Jesus thus we are saved? Or were we first elected by God thus we could be saved in the end? From the example of Jacob and Esau, it is clear that salvation first came from God rather than any human factor. But while God offers grace, let us not be foolish to miss out on His grace. Often, when we exaggerate our needs and feelings and pursue instant gratification, we fall into folly. But the word of God can make us wise for salvation. Thus, may we treasure the word of God and take it seriously, so that we can stay on the course of wisdom.
Discerning And Responding To God’s Will
Humans are always curious about God’s will, because no one likes to choose the wrong way and suffer loss as a result. But in fact, discerning God’s will is not difficult if we are clear about God’s word.
Life’s Hardest Test and God’s Provision
Sometimes life gets hard, even as we walk with the Lord. Yet, with greater tests and trials comes greater divine grace.
The Gift Of Perfect Light
Christmas is in fact about light in darkness. Light is what we need to help us see our way and find the Answer we are searching for.
Can Others See That God Is With You?
How does God want us to live with our neighbours? How can people see that the true and living God is with us?
Isaac VS Ishmael: Child of Promise VS Child of Flesh
Although the process of giving up human pride, sins and desires is distressing, it is still wise to obey God, for obedience will be rewarded, but disobedience comes with an agonizing price.
The Answer That Came Late
If our chief joy lies in the final outcome at the end of the wait, then we will be miserable during the wait; but if our highest delight is in the Lord, our hearts will find strength as we wait.
Blessed But Barely Saved
In view of God’s righteous judgement, we need to be repentant and vigilant toward sin, grateful that His grace saves those who believe, and urgently evangelise to those who are still lingering outside the door of salvation.
