Eberhard Arnold said: “When Jesus demands repentance, it is not that he wants to take something from us, to rob us, to make us poorer. No, he rejoices in offering it to us as a gift, which he gives in his great love for our souls. He wants us to repent in order to enrich us, to give us something to fill our souls with joy, and to make us blessed. He is the Physician who has come not for…
Yes, those who are wise are the agent of peace. The honourable more concerned to bring peace than a desire to be right, but the fool cannot stop being folly. It is decent for an individual to stop striving since it takes any sport to start a quarrel. Many feel that honour drives them to dispute and fight with others. Proverbs 20:3 reminds us that often it is even more honourable to stop striving by projecting the right direction as we advance. As Abraham…
The Bible teaches about the real people. The birth mother and father; the birth parents and their descendants, and much more. Don’t we have the birth babies and their growing offspring? It is all about the real people; those are the people we need. With genuine love, we have the real people covering our spaces – “Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.”(Romans 12:9ESV). Yes, “Do not be conformed to this world, but…
Dom Helder Camara said: “Maybe some – or maybe many of you – think that you don’t have any religion or faith. The truth is, we are and we will be with Christ even though we don’t know it, and even though we seem not to want it. For he will be with us, to the degree that our hunger and thirst for justice, truth, and love is honest.”
The hear counsel of Proverbs 19:20 remains a righteous cause, reminding us of obedience to God at all time as we journey to Heaven. Christianity is an everyday walk. The tune “Each Day In turn” depicts it consummately. We are on an excursion to our promised land. We ought to draw nearer every day to be more like Jesus. “Christian” signifies Christ-like. Considering that, we would need to state that there are not many Christians. Proverbs 19:20 is saying that…
The reasons for working are numerous; to bring daily bread, to stand tall when demand calls, and much more. Mainly, working is a blessing for humanity so that we can gain the strength to support every righteous cause around us. Even worship must favour the righteous cause. Righteous cause centres on keeping all the programme of God on rest, freedom and reliance active at all time. The Scripture said; “Let them shout for joy and be glad, Who favour my…
Michael Yandell said: “To find hope in the midst of moral injury, veterans must seek out encounters with people who, like us, wish to hold on to what really happened: other soldiers, teachers, mentors, family. What really happened when our nation indulged in a fantasy of bouncing back, of getting even, of acting with force across the globe? What really happened to those we fought? What happened to the people who sent us into combat? We must ask the hard…
In Proverbs 19:17, we possess the capacity to be an incredible creditor – ” lend to the LORD.“ When you give to the poor in the society, then, you have a credit note. God will never be in your obligation. He is accurate and careful in His reimbursement. No one ever set out to do His offering regarding any instance of need and got self the less fortunate. Was not Ruth’s affection to Naomi very much rewarded? O what a…
You need what you must have. You can demand divine blessings from the throne of God in the name of Jesus Christ for your wellbeing. Let me remind you that being stranded is not an option for you. Why? There are holy witnesses in your favour. Not about those who are fighting you, but about those who are bringing your the harvest of victory. Never about those who curse you but about the host of Heaven blessing you. Do you…
J. Heinrich Arnold once said: “Many people wonder why God does not force his will on them, if he is so powerful. Yet that is simply how God is. He waits for our readiness. It is true that he punishes those he loves and calls them to repentance; but he never forces his goodness on them. If a father were to take his child by the throat and force his good intentions on him, the child would instinctively feel that this…
