Still Times, Stale Faith?
Are you at a seemingly peaceful, still and stagnant season now? For most of the pockets of times in life, we may not be facing anything dramatic and we just seem to move on an “okay” mode. However, these peaceful times can sometimes make our faith living feel dry, numb and “stale”. So through 2 Chronicles 14, let us find out the importance and beauty of those “still” times” that God calls us into.
Do You Really Believe In God?
What is true believing? Don’t forget the Devil doesn’t get saved just because he believes there is One God. There are some kind of believing that doesn’t get us saved. And that is dangerous because it gives false assurance. Yet if your faith in Christ is true, be sure that faith is given by God and will be kept by His grace. That faith will see you through all trials in life.
Living In Christ And His Language
The Word of God is not a gospel that suits desires. It starts with what God says, then the Holy Spirit’s work in us through our reality as we pour in His truth to our hearts and minds. Let us look into 2 Timothy as we examine our hearts to see what is our ultimate goal of living in Christ and in His language.
Simply Knowing is Not Enough, Must be Sober-Minded
Do you think there is a difference between knowing and being sober-minded? The Bible has often reminded us to be sober. Why is it so important to be sober-minded? What should we be sober about?
Produce Fruit In Keeping With Repentance
Repentance is a great key in our faith living. For those who respond to the Lord’s call back to Him, repentance is truly a grace – or undeserved kindness – of God (Romans 2:4). And this ongoing repentance within us allows us to draw close to the purifying work of the Holy Spirit and experience increasing freedom from sin’s grip.
Should Churches End Livestreaming?
The COVID situation is dying down, but churches are still very much relying on livestreaming to feed their congregation. Is this viable in the long run? What are its implication to the churches? Are we told in the Bible about the importance of physical gathering? What is a real church life?
Detect, Discern and Depart From What Is Evil
In Matthew 6:23, it says, “But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!” Now this verse is not saying we have no light in us, but that we fail to realise how great a hold darkness can have. Let us be very much reminded and aware of how influential and manipulative darkness can be, discern what areas lead us into darkness and how we can flee from it. So how to do we depart and flee from darkness?
The Object Of Faith Matters More Than The Size Of Faith
Have you ever questioned if your faith is “enough”? Will our faith be enough to save us, or will the size of our faith be able to fulfil our desires regardless of what God’s sovereign will is? More important than the size and quality of our faith, we should ask: Is the object of our faith right?
My Stubborn Old Ways, The Unchanging God
Men are often looking to improve themselves, but it is not an easy feat is it? Over time, it can cause one to feel that since we cannot change, let us just remain the way we are and let it be. Now, if this thought is in us, it will definitely cause us to continue living in more fears, shame, indifference and numbness in life. But how do I deal with this stubborn old self?
Do Greater Things Than Jesus… Really?
Jesus said His believers can do greater things than Him. But how can mere humans accomplish, not to mention surpass, the incredible feats of Christ? What is meant by “greater things”? Does it mean that Christians can perform more powerful miracles than Jesus? How does God help His believers do great things?
