Jesus spoke of Himself being the Way, the Truth and the Life that we can only go to the Father through Him because when weContinue reading “A Mansion at the Father’s House”

With the spread and reach of social media, crowd funding is now a very sought after fund raising method. The NGO has to remain relevant and true to its cause and similar mindedContinue reading “Funding for God’s Work”

In those days, the refrigerator was not yet invented as it was a time prior to the discovery ofContinue reading “Salt of the World”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/03/14/justice-and-jesus Even in ancient times during the time of Micah, the LORD God had emphasised the need to temper righteousness with justice and mercy. Religious adherence to the law was necessary to maintain the people’s relationship with God and yet it is meaningless if there is no justice and mercy. God Himself was just andContinue reading “Righteousness and Justice”

https://odb.org.uk/MY/2022/03/12/love-song About 2 years after I accepted Christ many years ago, I joined a church that emphasised a lot on being the remnant of God’s people. I was in that church for 8 to 9 years and a lot of who I am in God today was shaped by my experiences then; the good, theContinue reading “The Remnant of Israel”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/03/10/revelation-and-reassurance It is natural and human to worry. Mothers fret and worry over their children, even when they are already adults. Children worry over their parents as their parents get older. I recall when I was young I worried about how my mum, my sister and myself will carey on with life if something wereContinue reading “Worries and Supplications”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/03/09/all-creatures-great-and-small It is undeniable that the LORD loves and cares for both humanity and other living beings. Although animals do not have soul that live forever and thus there is no afterlife or heaven and hell for animals, they are nevertheless created to live alongside us. Animals live based on instinct and not conscience andContinue reading “People and Animals”

The feet are beautiful as seen from the mountains, meaning to say, heaven rejoices that Israel will be set free from exile and will be able to return to the Promised Land and rebuildContinue reading “Beautiful Feet”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/03/07/willing-to-wait I guess for believers who came into the faith after seeing Jesus in person or after witnessing the signs and wonders that manifested after Pentecost or interacting with people who saw Jesus in the flesh, the wait for the second coming of Christ was more difficult and agonising. The belief and hope then mustContinue reading “Waiting for the LORD”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/03/06/tongue-tied We are usually able to express ourselves before God in adulation, adoration, worship, gratefulness and thankfulness. Telling God about our day should not be a problem as that is just plain communicating. Interceding for people and their needs should not be an issue either as we usually will have a prepared list of itemsContinue reading “Tongue Tied In Prayer”
