https://odb.org/MY/2021/10/29/god-sings On the day of the Lord, God will judge those who opposed Him and take away the punishment from Judah and Israel. He will be glad and will rejoice over Jerusalem with singing. That’s the essence of Zephaniah chapters 1-3. Jesus Christ by His victory on the cross has redeemed Israel and Judah butContinue reading “Rejoicing and Singing in Heaven”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/10/28/god-hears-us It is beyond our imagination to think and fathom the millions of prayers that God receives every moment in time from various ones of us in the faith all over the world – all of us communicating with Him at the same time and yet He is as personal to each and every oneContinue reading “God Answers Our Prayers”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/10/27/simplistic-formulas As much as we believe that it is God’s will that we are to be whole and by His stripes we are healed, I believe healing is still by the grace of God. We can keep on believing and keep on praying and one day God may heal us. That’s our faith and theContinue reading “Purpose in Suffering”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/10/26/set-apart-2 Paul is called to be an apostle and to be set apart for the Gospel, which is the Good News of the death and resurrection of Christ which paves the way for every person who accepts Christ as Lord to receive the gift of salvation, by the grace of God. The Good News needsContinue reading “Set Apart”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/10/25/the-testing This story about Abraham and Isaac is a story so well known that I had heard of it even during Islamic religious classes in primary school. As I was the only non-Muslim in class, I stayed on to listen since I didn’t have anywhere else to go for that period. At that time IContinue reading “Testing from God”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/10/24/talk-trust-feel As I was growing up in the faith in a previous church, the method used to instill discipline is to create fear. I think it was to put the fear of God in our lives but some times ended up putting the fear of men in us. We were drilled to wake up atContinue reading “Spirit of Fear”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/10/23/wise-christians Jesus taught before that as He sends us out to the world that we should be as shrewd as serpents but innocent as doves (Matthew 10:16). Some translations use the phrase wise as serpents and harmless as doves. This is because when we are in the world we are akin to sheep among wolves,Continue reading “Shrewd as Serpents”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/10/22/live-to-serve It is undeniable that every one of us has unique gifting and talents from God as much as our personality and character are unique. Our upbringing, school, college, work, family, early investments by our parents when we were young like music, taekwando or kumon lessons and our interactions with friends, church members, work colleagues,Continue reading “Gifting from God”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/10/21/bible-beavers I think Jesus made an excellent point in John 5:39-47. What is the point of studying Scriptures so diligently only to reject Him when the Scriptures point to Christ? Scripture is about God, how He related to mankind and to His chosen nation, Israel, and yet they rejected God when they rejected Jesus becauseContinue reading “Jesus and Scriptures”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/10/20/look-within Because Jesus died for our sins and we accepted the gift of salvation from God, we are no longer slaves to sin. Instead, as Christ has redeemed us from the shackles and bondage of sin, our new Lord is Christ. He paid the price for our liberty, thus we now belong to Christ. HeContinue reading “Confession of Our Sins”
