A Godly Man, A Godly Father
In the last days where wickedness abounds, is it possible for one to be faithful in his walk with God? Is it possible for godly families to be raised? The bible showed us that where sin increased, grace increased all the more. God has His voice for every generation, can you hear Him today? If you do, God will certainly raise you up to bless many around you, including your loved ones.
Uncertain Move With God’s Assurance
What does it mean to have a God who is always with us and who is for us? One assurance is that whenever we seek Him with our heart, especially in times of uncertainty, He will be found by us to provide us with timely answer and help. Importantly, since we belong to this one true and faithful God, we should not be influenced by the religions and cultures of the world, but be set apart for Him.
Understanding Homosexuality
The modern church is caught in a great dilemma in dealing with the homosexuals today. While the Bible is clear about the reprobation of the homosexual’s practices, it is also at the same time, calling us to seek their redemption and healing. So what is it that love demands us to do for the homosexuals?
Finding Assurance In Uncertainties
Most people view ‘uncertainty’ as a bad thing, because people in general do not like ambiguity, but we like to know what to expect, and be in control. When we cannot have control over our lives, we feel frustrated. But instead of giving us control and clarity, God wants to give us a better gift — God Himself. Are you feeling worried and fearful because of uncertainties? How can you find assurance in the face of uncertainties?
Emotions And Emotionalism
Being able to express our emotions freely and rightly gives us our humanity. Yet, one of the tragedy in today’s church is an overdoes of it. Emotionalism arises as one of the greatest enemy of the 21st century church. Increasingly, psychological skills are being used to draw big crowds into churches. Find out about the pitfalls of emotionalism and how believers must avoid it at all cost.
What Are You Planning For?
While we are embroiled in planning for our future, did we actually plan for eternity? Find out why we are morally liable for the plans we have for ourselves, and how should we really plan our lives as believers of God.
The Secret To Forgiveness
We all have been wounded in big or small ways, sometimes people looked down on us, sometimes they took advantage of us, sometimes they forgot about us, and sometimes words of hate turn into actions of harm against us. How should we deal with these? God calls us to love even our enemies, which includes forgiving others. But what if we still struggle to forgive? In fact, forgiveness is at the heart of Christianity. To forgive may be a hard thing to do, but it brings greatest freedom.
Honoring Our Parents
Our relationship with our parents is one which cannot be severed, and God values this relationship enough to include it in the Ten Commandments, telling us to honor our father and our mother. The dynamics between us and our parents also change as we grow from young children to adult children. While it is easier to obey our parents when we were young, when we grow older, more independent and capable, there is this possibility of despising our aged parents. What about those parents who hurt us, or parents who are not believers? Why and how should we honor our parents?
Testing For Transformation
The God we worship is a living God, and His word is also alive and effective. Thus, if anyone claims to believe God’s word, he will have some kind of life transformation over time. God gave us certain tests and trials in our lives so that we are convinced that we must fully trust Him and be God-driven, instead of stubbornly choose to trust our own wisdom and ways. Because He wants to use us, He will test us, to see if our faith is real and submission is sincere. When God tests us, can we pass the tests, and can He find true transformation in us?
Work and Marriage
With the introduction of modern ideas like career advancement, woman’s aspiration, working round the clock through digital connection, societal suggestions about what is significant and what is the not-so-significant work and such, the biblical man and woman’s designated role in a marriage seems to be irrelevant. How can Christian marriages still stay intact and healthy with the changing nature of work in this era?
