I am doing a new thing
https://odb.org/2024/08/13/behind-prison-bars I think it is important as a believer that we grow and progress in our spiritual life and not remain stagnant or backslide.

For example, from curry mee or hokkien mee or even wan tan mee. Fortunately, curry and black sauce can usually be removed if we immediately wash the stain with a bit of soap.

Great rejoicing in heaven
https://odb.org/2024/07/23/time-to-party There is great rejoicing in heaven whenever a sinner repents and comes into faith in Christ Jesus. The parable of the prodigal son narrated by Jesus Himself in Luke 15:11-32 illustrates this very well. When the prodigal son returned after wasting away his inheritance in wild living, the father accepted him back wholeheartedly with muchContinue reading “Great rejoicing in heaven”
