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”

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”
Realm of the dead
https://odb.org/2024/03/11/embrace-today I think it’s tragic that when we are about to die that we regret not having made much of our life that God gave us. Like in the novel, Nicola, who was born with wealth and talents, felt she had wasted her life and thus refused to acknowledge that she has terminal cancer. IContinue reading “Realm of the dead”
Salvation and good works
https://odb.org/2024/03/06/good-works-ready I like this phrase – we can not be saved by our good works, but we are saved so that we may do good works. Salvation is by the grace of God. We are saved by accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour and by confessing our sins and asking God to forgiveContinue reading “Salvation and good works”
Even Leviticus
https://odb.org/2024/02/29/even-leviticus Some books in the Bible we have difficulty relating to because they were meant for an era of time for people living then. So the issue with the skin diseases was whether that makes someone ceremonially unclean as a Jew but it was also meant to prevent the spread of contagious diseases. See today’sContinue reading “Even Leviticus”
Luck or Godly intention
https://odb.org/2024/02/25/not-luck-but-christ The main distinction between our Christian view of creation versus that of the Big Bang Theory is that God intentionally created the earth and the universe and everything in it. The evolution doctrine, however, theorises that everything evolved over time and started all of a sudden at the beginning and rejected any intervention byContinue reading “Luck or Godly intention”
Love and Commitment
https://odb.org/2024/02/14/motivated-by-love-2 One of the greatest blessings of having a husband or wife in the context of a Christian marriage is the commitment to be with one another through thick and thin. We build our lives together in Christ throughout the years, building our family and career while serving God in ministry and church. As timeContinue reading “Love and Commitment”
River of Living Waters
https://odb.org/2024/01/30/a-refreshing-king I think even without ever living in the desert, we may envisage the importance of having water. Like the air we breathe, we need water to live. Nearly 51% of our blood consists of water, and 60% of our bodies is H2O. You may say that water and air are the sources of life.Continue reading “River of Living Waters”
