Faith in the family
https://odb.org/2024/12/15/just-like-grandma As much as faith is personal, as parents, we want our children to profess the same faith as us.

Faith in God is personal to the holder in the sense that we need to personally believeContinue reading “Faith in the family”
Born again

Transformed from the inside
https://odb.org/2024/10/22/transformed-from-the-inside One of the struggles faced by any believer, I believe, is the desire to be true to God from the inside. The journey of transformation may go this way. We conform on the outside but remain carnal and selfish on the inside.

Welcoming little children
https://odb.org/2024/08/12/welcome-mat There are three concepts in Jesus’s teaching in Mark 9:30-37. The first is that Jesus needed to die first before He rises again. At that point, the disciples of Jesus didn’t understand what He was talking about. The second is that the least is the greatest, and it speaks of servant leadership in theContinue reading “Welcoming little children”
God’s Word
https://odb.org/2024/08/11/scripture-lovers Psalm 119 celebrates the love of the Psalmist for the Torah, described as His law, His precepts, or His commands, statutes, or commands.

We would have beenContinue reading “God is our refuge”
