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. This is because when the Ottomans conquered Jerusalem, they built a mosque on top of its ruins (destroyed earlier by the Romans). It is an impossibilityContinue reading “Jerusalem”
Speaking the truth
https://odb.org/2024/09/06/speaking-truthfully One of the things people do without thinking too much is to tell or speak about something in a way that suits the situation.

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!”

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”
Waiting and the promises of God
https://odb.org/2024/08/28/worth-the-wait-3 The story of Abram (he later became known as Abraham) is central to the biblical narrative as the nation of Israel came through him. The Messiah, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, also came through Abraham’s line of descendants, including the House of David, and consequently, all the nations of the earth are blessedContinue reading “Waiting and the promises of God”
