Living sacrifice and the community of believers
https://odb.org/2024/09/24/together Romans 12:1-2 & 4 – 1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing ofContinue reading “Living sacrifice and the community of believers”
No longer the foreigner
https://odb.org/2024/09/23/no-longer-a-foreigner As ancient Israel was a religious state, the foreigner or Gentile did not have equal rights under the Covenant Law. The rationale is to maintain the purity of the Jewish race and faith. Thus, inter-marriages with the other communities in Canaan were not allowed. As history has shown, when the Israelites inter-marry, they tendContinue reading “No longer the foreigner”

Instead, Jonah fled to the other direction as heContinue reading “Niniveh – God is slow to anger”

The bruised reed, He will not break
https://odb.org/2024/09/18/gods-patient-love I took a short break to chill and rejuvenate over the Malaysia Day weekend as we had a rare 4-day bank holiday (as they say in the UK), which ended today. Many actually took leave for the rest of the week, and thus, with just 3 days of annual leave, one can get aContinue reading “The bruised reed, He will not break”
Your will be done here on earth
https://odb.org/2024/09/13/kingdom-shaped-workplace The Lord’s prayer teaches us how to pray as a basic structure of what we should pray for, although the prerequisite remains a sincere and forgiving heart. You may find the whole prayer in Matthew 6:9-13 NKJV: 9 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven,Hallowed be Your name.10 Your kingdom come.Your willContinue reading “Your will be done here on earth”
Sabbath as a day of rest
https://odb.org/2024/09/12/retrieval-practice They say if you retire early, you risk dying early. 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. On the other hand, too much work pressure may lead to unnecessary stress, and thatContinue reading “Sabbath as a day of rest”
