Our appointment with death
https://odb.org/2024/11/21/the-appointment Hebrews 9 NIV: 27 Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28 so Christ was sacrificed oncei to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

Running away from God
https://odb.org/2024/10/25/whale-watching While it is generally true that if we do not respond to God’s calling, He will choose or call someone else to do the work. The principle is true because the sovereign will of God will be achieved independent of the originally chosen one. Thus, when Saul didn’t meet the LORD’s expectations, He raisedContinue reading “Running away from God”
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 spies were no ordinary people as each represented a tribe of the Israelites who hadContinue reading “The 10 spies”
Putting our prayers on God’s plate
https://odb.org/2024/08/22/gods-plate Recently, I had some worries and anxieties over a piece of work, basically how to tie in and align our contract with the client as the prime contractor with our contracts with our subcontractors. I eventually figured it out, but I recalled after having committed the whole thing unto the Lord. Sometimes, I alsoContinue reading “Putting our prayers on God’s plate”
Hallelujah
