https://odb.org/MY/2022/01/16/darkness-and-light-2 When we look at brokenness and despair around us, marriages that end in divorce, siblings estranged from one another, parent and child not speaking for years, we ask ourselves why do people let hurt, bitterness and revenge get the better of their situation? We could see for ourselves how the Wang LeeHom divorce sagaContinue reading “Light of the World”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/01/14/practice-what-you-preach-3 I think a challenge every believer probably faces is to live in accordance with the Word. As James said Chapter 1 of his book we are not to just hear the Word but to obey or apply it in our lives. The illustration given was apt. If we do not apply it, we areContinue reading “Do As The Word Says”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/01/13/a-ludicrous-investment Today’s post in ODB is interesting and a little astonishing to me for two reasons. One, the LORD actually told Jeremiah to buy a field from his cousin at a time when Babylon was besieging Jerusalem. The whole Scripture reading concerns that episode. Secondly, the LORD actually spoke to Jeremiah at a personal levelContinue reading “A Ludicrous Investment”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/01/12/hearing-us-from-heaven There is no doubt that God hears us when we pray because we know by faith that through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, we are now reconciled to Him as individuals and not as a nation or a people. Because God is God, He is able to deal with billions one to oneContinue reading “Hearing From Heaven”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/01/11/escape-or-peace When I was young, I used fantasy as a form of escapism. Not that I was trying to escape the hardship of life as the only stress then for me was to study hard and do well in public examinations. With the quota system in place and not having the means for an overseasContinue reading “Escapism”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/01/10/etch-a-sketch-forgiveness It is well known that the love and compassion, grace and mercy of God as recorded in the Old Testament are all phenomenal. His forgiveness is both outstanding and astounding. David writes, “He removed my transgressions from me as far as the east is from the west and His love is so great thatContinue reading “God’s Compassion and Love”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/01/09/washed If we are already a believer, we will understand the significance of this simple act of faith in confessing and repenting of our sins and seeking the forgiveness of God and accepting Jesus into our lives as our personal Saviour and Lord, in the most precious name of His Son, Jesus Christ. That inContinue reading “Born Again”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/01/08/drawn-near Today’s post concerns the protocols established in Leviticus for the Israelites to enter the Most Holy Place (also called the Holy of Holies) to meet God at the Tent of Meeting during the 40 year period when they were in the wilderness after departing from Egypt. This was after Aaron’s two sons died afterContinue reading “Approaching God”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/01/06/dealing-with-disagreement With profileration of social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook, we tend to give comments quite freely and publicly. 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. What is God speaking to us for 2022? What’s Christ message for us for this new year? But IContinue reading “Back To Basics”
