https://odb.org/2024/05/02/a-creator-we-can-trust John 3:16 is probably the most well-known verse in the bible in the sense that if there is a verse that believers can memorise, it is likely John 3:16. It is the verse that was introduced to me by a friend who was preaching Christ to me when I was just a child, andContinue reading “God gave His only begotten Son”

Indispensable in Christ
https://odb.org/2024/04/24/united-diversity In 1 Corinthians 12:22, Paul asserts that the weaker ones in the body are indispensable. In verse 23, he said that the parts we think are less honourable, we treat with special honour. Meaning to say all have a part to play in the church, but we give special honour and consideration to theContinue reading “Indispensable in Christ”
Be at home
https://odb.org/2024/04/15/longing-for-home-3 Although some of us may treat our workplace as just a place to earn a living, feeling at home at our workplace helps us to be happy and contented at work, ultimately pushing us to make an effective contribution to our respective organisations. We must fit in whether with the people or the workContinue reading “Be at home”
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”
Offer bargains to God
https://odb.org/2024/03/13/cries-of-distress Have we ever offered bargains to God when faced with desperate and distressing situations like a depressing medical diagnosis, a financial quagmire, a bleak or uncertain future, or the loss of someone close? We may want to say if you heal me, O Lord, I will do this and do that for you. Jesus,Continue reading “Offer bargains to God”
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”
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”
