This is probably because the lack of work pressure and motivation may lead to a lazy, sedentary, and unproductive lifestyle that may somehow bring us to an untimely demise.

The church
https://odb.org/2024/09/09/what-remains Matthew 16:17-19 – 17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. 18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades willContinue reading “The church”
Jerusalem
https://odb.org/2024/09/08/united-at-last When you look at Jerusalem today, it is hard to imagine that the Temple of God (originally built by David) may be excavated and brought to life again.

Excelsior!
https://odb.org/2024/09/04/excelsior Excelsior! Excelsior! It is latin for higher, meaning that we strive to do better and better, go higher and higher. Not only do we move on and don’t give up, but we want to progress further. We don’t look back and get bogged down by regrets and ‘what ifs’, but instead, we are drivenContinue reading “Excelsior!”
What’s in your hand?
https://odb.org/2024/08/30/whats-in-your-hand-2 When God first appeared at the burning bush and called Moses to deliver the Israelites out of Egypt (you may read this in Exodus 3), Moses queried who was he that the Pharoah would listen to him? The LORD replied that He would be with him. In Exodus 4:1-5, Moses continued to query GodContinue reading “What’s in your hand?”
God of justice
https://odb.org/2024/08/29/plant-justice One of the things I feel we should always remember, even if we have been in the faith for a long time, is that God is a God of justice. What I mean is that even though we have been saved by the blood of Christ and have eternal life, God will not hesitateContinue reading “God of justice”
