https://odb.org/2024/12/20/the-truth-never-changes Isaiah 40:8 NIV – The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.” As Christians, we believe that the Word of God, that is, Scripture, is the infallible truth.

Joseph, the husband of Mary
https://odb.org/2024/12/17/the-rescue-2 God’s plan in saving the world was to send His only son to the world that whoever believed in Him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16).

Faith in the family
https://odb.org/2024/12/15/just-like-grandma As much as faith is personal, as parents, we want our children to profess the same faith as us. Just because we know the Lord, it doesn’t mean our children and their children will likewise know God.

No room
https://odb.org/2024/12/12/guest-room An interesting fact from today’s ODB is that although we may have grown up thinking Jesus was born in an animal stable, it is actually a guest house but at the animals’ side of the guest house.

For I am with you, says the LORD
https://odb.org/2024/12/09/encouragement-in-a-box As we are not creatures of the water, passing through deep waters is always risky and to some even a dangerous endeavour. It is thus a good picture of what could lie ahead in life. We may be the cautious kind and only walk on dry land and avoid rivers or sea, but life,Continue reading “For I am with you, says the LORD”
