Two is better than one
https://odb.org/2024/10/13/conquering-mountains-together “If you want to go fast, go alone. But if you want to go far, go together.” The saying is apt to describe our Christian walk as our walk of faith is never about going fast but far. We want to last until our dying breath or until the Lord returns, loving Him andContinue reading “Two is better than one”
Patient endurance
https://odb.org/2024/10/09/lessons-in-patience James 1:12 NIV – Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. I believe one of the byproducts of our life of accessible and vicarious entertainment is instant gratification. We wantContinue reading “Patient endurance”
The return of the King
https://odb.org/2024/09/22/royal-return The one event every believer is looking forward to is the second coming of Christ, the return of the King of Kings, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, the Messiah, and the Chosen One. It is an event that will certainly happen, but its timing, only Father God knows. The believers during the timeContinue reading “The return of the King”
Hallelujah
https://odb.org/2024/08/18/heaven-is-singing Revelation 19:1-5: 1 After these things, I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honour and power belong to the Lord our God! 2 For true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication;Continue reading “Hallelujah”
Confession of sin
https://odb.org/2024/08/08/cleansing-confession In the Catholic church, there is a practice where a believer confesses his or her sins in the confession booth before the priest who represents God, and through the confession, that person seeks to obtain forgiveness from God. It is possible that this practice originated from James 5:16: 16 Therefore confess your sins toContinue reading “Confession of sin”
We worship God in all seasons
https://odb.org/2024/08/06/behind-the-scenes-6 We know by now that Christian life is not a bed of roses. We are humans, and we go through life like any other. Meaning to say, we face heartbreaks, disappointments, tears, sadness, and loss like we also experience happiness, joy, peace, exciting and exhilarating times, as well as laughter and moments of proudContinue reading “We worship God in all seasons”
Worship that transforms
https://odb.org/2024/07/28/transforming-worship If we know how to play an accompanying musical instrument like a guitar or a piano or keyboard (we don’t have to be very good at it), you may find worshipping a more personalised experience as you have full control of the music, especially the key you want to sing in. Alternatively, we canContinue reading “Worship that transforms”
Never will I leave you
https://odb.org/2024/07/25/really-live I learned the illuminating truth about God’s healing in the first few years of my Christian life when I read through page by page an autobiography by Joni Eareckson. That was about 40 years ago. The truth is that God doesn’t heal everyone all the time. The fact that He heals is by itselfContinue reading “Never will I leave you”
The good old times
https://odb.org/2024/05/20/longing-for-the-past Sometimes, we like to reminisce and dwell in our past memories. I think not so much in our past successes but more to the nostalgic era where time was not moving as fast as the present. Times when we were younger and still discovering the world. Our early working days, feeling our way inContinue reading “The good old times”
