As a new creation in Christ, the old has passed and as Christ had reconciled us to God, we should likewise attempt toContinue reading “Ministry of Reconciliation”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/09/08/send-me Throughout the Bible, we see God choosing and calling different ones to fulfil His specific will. God called Abraham out of the Ur of the Caldeans to Canaan and as Abraham responded in faith, the nation of Israel was born and Jesus came through that line that Isreal became an utmost blessing unto theContinue reading “Is God Calling You?”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/09/07/complete While we can only be fully complete in Christ, I think we should not dismiss the notion that our better half completes us in the context of a marriage that is sanctified by God. Besides continuing the family line and thus the perpetuation of the human race, marriage brings together two distinct individuals toContinue reading “Complete in Christ”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/09/06/resting-secure-in-god When I was much younger before I knew Jesus, I used to think about who I am. Asking questions like why was I born this way, to this family, in this town, in this country? Prior to that I was living in a more multi racial town in the West Coast of Malaysia. ButContinue reading “Knowing Who We Are in God”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/09/05/help-from-the-holy-spirit God’s standards are high and yet He wants us to meet them. Thus He sent Jesus to die for our sins so that we are all redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. After Christ rose again but before He ascended back to heaven, He promised us a helper and the Holy Spirit cameContinue reading “Help from the Holy Spirit”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/09/04/man-of-prayer One of the testimonies that I heard in a message from the pulpit and which stayed with me till today is the exaltation given to his late father by a pastor in my former church. The pastor’s late father, who was a founding member of a well known mega church in the Klang Valley,Continue reading “Man of Prayer”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/09/03/empty-hands There is this worship song entitled Majesty by Delirious, with these words, “Your grace has found me just as I am. Empty-handed but alive in Your Hands.” The Father will accept us no matter what our situation and condition. We are what we are. In His grace and in His compassion, He will takeContinue reading “Empty-Handed But Alive In Your Hands”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/09/02/the-bigger-picture I think the foundation to reading the bible and deriving maximum benefit from it is to believe that it is THE WORD OF GOD. That I believe is fundamental. Every word, every passage, every paragraph is true. Even though it is written by men, it is inspired by God. Not dictated by God likeContinue reading “Scriptures”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/09/01/fix-up-time If we are a believer, there is just no way we may remain like the world and not have have kindness, compassion and forgiveness. How different are we from the world if we quarrel and don’t reconcile? How are we a new creation in Christ if we hold a grudge and don’t forgive forContinue reading “Transformation From Within”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/08/31/sharing-jesus I doubt any of us can be like Evangelist Dwight Moody who preached the Gospel to someone at least once a day. Yes, it is proclaiming and not converting as the choice remains with the hearer. Reaching out to someone at least once a week or once a month might be more doable, especiallyContinue reading “Reaching Out”
