https://odb.org/2024/04/09/put-this-on-every-day We are a new creation when we are born again in Christ, having awakened our spirit who was dead to Yahweh, God the Father. The Holy Spirit lifted the scales from our eyes to see the light, having an understanding of the salvation Jesus brings through His death on the cross and how HisContinue reading “Armour of light”

Joy in the city
https://odb.org/2024/04/08/joy-in-the-city Proverbs 11:10 teaches that when the righteous prosper, the city rejoices. I think not so much that the city is happy for the prosperity of the righteous but more the fact they know that the blessings of the heavens are opened to also bring prosperity to the city. The righteous prosper because God isContinue reading “Joy in the city”
5 things to be thankful
https://odb.org/2024/04/07/five-good-things It is good to be thankful for who we are today and for the things that we have, especially to Creator God, our Heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Saviour. As today’s ODB article teaches, there are positive benefits to thankfulness and gratefulness. For example, research indicates that people who are intentionallyContinue reading “5 things to be thankful”
He has put eternity in our hearts
https://odb.org/2024/04/05/now-and-forever Ecclesiastes is indeed a peculiar wisdom book in the Bible as Solomon seemed to say everything is vanity or meaningless. Except for one thing, and that is knowing God. Thus, we live and die. We work hard to earn a living. We start a family and raise children. We have possessions. But we canContinue reading “He has put eternity in our hearts”
Reassurance from the LORD
https://odb.org/2024/04/04/in-his-arms I think the picture of a young child sitting on the lap of his father on the dentist’s chair is an excellent picture of who God is and how He is a force of reassurance when we are going through some tough patches in life. God will also be that tower of strength whenContinue reading “Reassurance from the LORD”
Hearing Jesus’s voice
https://odb.org/2024/04/03/i-hear-you-god I think it’s a given that once we accept Jesus Christ into our lives as our Lord and Saviour, we will eventually know and recognise His voice. In John 10:1-10, Jesus uses the picture of a shepherd and his sheep to convey this message. Basically, the sheep will know and recognise the voice ofContinue reading “Hearing Jesus’s voice”
Political leaders
https://odb.org/2024/04/02/psalm-72-leaders Public office politics is inherently difficult as there are many often competing interests to meet and balance at the highest levels. On the one hand, they can’t meet everyone’s demands and, on the other hand, some needs are more urgent than others. It’s a question of priorities, and yet it’s also a question ofContinue reading “Political leaders”
Meeting together in Christ Jesus
https://odb.org/2024/04/01/meeting-together Yes, it’s a mistake to avoid meeting together when we are going through something. Perhaps it is OK to miss a meeting or two, but we should never do this on a prolonged basis. This is because congregational meetings allow for corporate worship and fellowship among the brethren. That’s why churches whose congregations shareContinue reading “Meeting together in Christ Jesus”
Sheep and goats
https://odb.org/2024/03/25/love-god-by-loving-others Matthew 25:31-40 is in a way scary as there will come a time when our Lord Jesus Christ will separate us into sheep and goats. Below is a deeper analysis of this topic, which may be contentious to some. https://www.workingpreacher.org/commentaries/revised-common-lectionary/christ-the-king/commentary-on-matthew-2531-46-7 I tend to agree that as Jesus spoke about having helped or being kindContinue reading “Sheep and goats”
Renaissance
https://odb.org/2024/03/24/renaissance The period of Renaissance is that period of time in history between the 14th to the 17th centuries when the Europeans transitioned from the Middle Ages to modern times. It was probably best known as the time of Leonardo da Vinci, the brilliance of his art coupled with his scientific prowess and foresight, theContinue reading “Renaissance”
