https://odb.org/MY/2021/10/09/counted-among-the-wise I think in whatever we do, we cannot avoid interacting with people older than us. This is particularly true if we are young. But it is also true even if we are older. I believe this is true whether in school, in college or university, at work or in church. There will always peopleContinue reading “Wisdom of Elders”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/10/08/no-such-thing-as-ordinary We are all called by God for a specific purpose, blessed with our individual talents and our unique personality and character. As we allow God to mould us, we are not only transformed to a better person, more holy and set apart for Him; but we are also more equipped and “trained” to serveContinue reading “Never Ordinary”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/10/07/current-battles I think if you read the Scriptural readings for today’s ODB, Philippians 3:12-19 and 4:1-2, you will see that Paul’s aim is to persuade the two conflicting believers, Euodia and Syntyche to make peace, to be of the same mind. Basically Paul is saying that we should press on towards the goal to winContinue reading “Disagreements”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/10/06/teaming-up When my father was posted back to the West Coast after 10 years in the East Coast as a teacher, he took up scouting at the new school. Even though I was very young then, maybe standard two or three, my father will bring me along for his scouting activities although I was studyingContinue reading “Camaraderie”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/10/05/with-me-in-the-valley As a Christian, we do not fear death since we are assured of salvation and eternal life. We know that with Jesus having redeemed us by His blood, death has lost its sting. Jesus proved this by resurrecting on the 3rd day after His death on the Cross of Calvary, as a hope ofContinue reading “Better and Worse, Jesus as Good as Ever”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/10/04/wherever-we-worship I have been involved in worship for most of my Christian life as learning to play the guitar was the thing that brought me to join a Navigator’s bible study and subsequently accepted Christ. Two years after that I joined a church that sang acapella with tambourines for rhythmic timing and thus I laterContinue reading “Worship”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/10/03/adam-r-holz It had been a long eventful and emotional week for me! Two large value transactions I was handling were approved by the Board of my company to proceed, two major contracts I have been negotiating were finally signed, my son flew off to the UK for further studies, my dog passed away and aContinue reading “Human Frailty”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/10/02/adolescent-faith I remember during my adolescense years with God and it was longer than my natural adolescence years, I was in this constant battle whether to follow God wholeheartedly or follow my dreams and ambitions. During those years, the two appeared to be mutually exclusive. The spirit was rebellious like the Israelites during Moses’ time.Continue reading “Our Adolescence Years”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/10/01/whats-your-name Today’s ODB sets forth an interesting discussion on names, namely (pun intended), the name our parents gave us, the name others give us, the name we give ourselves as well as the name Jesus gives us. Our first name (for example, mine is Ronnie, the name my parents gave me) will remain throughout theContinue reading “What’s Your Name?”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/09/30/all-that-you-need As humans, we are not perfect. That’s a given. So we might not be as tall as we would have liked. Or we may not be as fair in skin tone. Or we may not have that much hair, that lush long and thick hair. Maybe our features are not so sharp, eyes notContinue reading “God Is My Portion”
