Mother Teresa said: “Dying is not the end, it is just the beginning. Death is a continuation of life. This is the meaning of eternal life; it is where our soul goes to God, to be in the presence of God, to see God, to speak to God, to continue loving him with greater love. We only surrender our body in death – our heart and our soul lives forever. Yesterday is gone, and tomorrow has not yet come; we…
Faith dynamics variously depict how little faith could be of an excellent investment. The calling to invest faith is divine, which could manifest in achieving big things! There is a direct efficacy between faith and achievements! Could the reference be a little or small faith or the potency of genuine faith? I consider the force of true faith most achieved even if it is as little as the mustard seed reference of Matthew 17:20. In giving this reminder, Christ once…
1. “When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all. He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken.” 2 “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation….
What questions are you asking today? Yes, Some questions aren’t used to discover the truth; they are used to resist the truth and justify a refusal to believe. The religious leaders asked many hostile questions and never a truthful question. Look at these questions in John 8:19, 22, 25): Where is Your Father? (John 8:19), Will He kill Himself? (John 8:22), Who are You? (John 8:25). Again, the question ‘Who are you, anyway?’ shows the Pharisees’ exasperation with Jesus’ hints…
If people reject the church because they reject Jesus and the gospel, we should be saddened but not surprised. Regardless what happens when people refuse the church because they think the church has denied Jesus and the gospel? What if people don’t leave the church because they disapprove of Jesus but because they’ve read the Bible and have concluded that the church itself would disapprove of Jesus? That’s a crisis. Functionally, if individuals reject the church as a community of…
1. “Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. You shall not commit adultery.” 2 “He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself. And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.” 3 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that…
Have you not heard that if the context of our daily living is not based on the truth and righteousness, it is plain adultery? In John 8:6, the accusers of the woman accused of cheating cared nothing for true justice, for it was evident that they carefully arranged both the adulterous act and her arrest. They claimed that this woman was caught in adultery, in the very front – yet they did not bring the guilty man before Jesus. Is…
As always, Jesus invitation is ever unique. In His ministry, Jesus invited just the people who were weary and substantially parallelled to come to Him. It is just when you are tired of your own crushed life that you meet all requirements to go to Him for triumph. The world is brimming with people who are wary of others and how others act towards them. A few Christians are additionally weary of the trade-off and experience that they find in…
1. “Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace, you have been saved.” 2 “For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment. Be…
