I’m not familiar with Twitter but for Facebook our comments may be limited to a wall of a friend but it is nevertheless accessible by whoever the friend allows access to his wall and mostContinue reading “Dealing With Disagreement”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/01/05/back-to-the-basics-2 Today’s post is another slant on New Year resolutions. In my post just 3 days ago, https://ronnielim.com/2022/01/02/fresh-start/, I wrote about the need to hear God’s Word for us and make that our New Year’s resolution.

https://odb.org/MY/2022/01/03/when-love-never-ends I think the act of a grandfather taking off his watch to spend time with his grandson at the beach was touching as he just let time go by. Didnt keep tabs on time, something some of us may unfortunately find impossible to do, even for a few hours. In the current context, thatContinue reading “Spending Time”

For we have died and when Christ appears, we will also appear with Him in glory. Our old self has died and must remain dead, crucified, banished.Continue reading “Fresh Start”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/01/01/saved-by-the-word Blessed New Year, everyone! 2021 was challenging, we pray that 2022 will be better for all.

Thank you, Lord forContinue reading “Blessed New Year!”

We looked forward to the year-end holidays and today is the last day of the year. Of course for us who are Chinese Christians, Chinese New Year or CNY is exactly a month away this time on 1st February 2022. So at leastContinue reading “A Day Closer”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/12/30/better-than-gold-2 I had shared before in a previous post (https://ronnielim.com/2021/09/11/choosing-god-is-choosing-wisdom/) that if given a choice like Solomon, we would probably all choose wisdom over wealth as with the former we may acquire the latter.
