Glory In The Lord
1 Chronicles 16:7-14 We deeply mourn the huge loss of lives due to COVID19. Nevertheless, so many good things have been happening for many through their friends, Doctors, Teachers, Parents, Kids, or self effort .Without the Lord, humans may fail. We must appreciate those who helped. But we must not fail to recognize the Almighty does what we cannot do. He is the One that controls the whole world. All Glory belongs to Him. King David set aside time to…
Care for the Needy
Deut. 15:7-11. Needy? For money? No!“Money is not Everything ,“ it is rightly said. Many rich folks who neared the end of life (for example Steve Jobs) did warn that money didn’t buy their real need: that is healing. So the needy includes: the sick, the disabled, immorally trapped, etc. With these, our Society is a big field for Christian Care Ministry. The Lev. passage is about the financially needy. In it God commands that we should not harden our…
Be Good To Your Neighbor
Lev 19:13-18The Chapter begins with the Lord asking His people to be holy for He is Holy. We know that God is Love. So this high godly standard, if followed, will help us achieve the listed Commands: Don’t cheat, pay for day job – the pandemic shows that those who suffer most were day to day workers Respect the disabled – show empathy Be angry and sin not – so u can recover and not double the sin; Judge in…
Hope For Hard Times
Who is in control? Matthew 8:18; 23-34 In the Matthew’s account of the disciples and Jesus during the storm, one thing is very clear. Jesus was perfectly in control. Before the storm, He took charge by speaking the Word, Matthew 8:18. “And when Jesus saw the great multitudes about Him, He gave a command to depart to the other side.” Mark 4:35, He says, “Let us cross over to the other side.” He set the course for the entire journey,…
The Spirit Brings Life
Romans 8: 1- 11The Spirit Teaches Us.1 Corinthians 2:6-16 Romans 8 is best understood (or even enjoyed) from chapter 7. Christ wants us to be “complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work” through Bible Study. The Holy Spirit helps us achieve that. You see believers not paid, yet, picking up many responsibilities to keep the Church going; that is the great life inspired by the Holy Spirit of Christ. The Spirit-filled life is not lazy, or proud or argumentative. He…
Know The Truth In Christ
Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true Acts 17:11 Many believers miss the important study of the Bible like the Berean group in Acts 17:11 “to find out whether these things were so” That’s why even the believing Jews argued with Christ about being free as Abraham’s children and yet “sought to…
Freedom Proclaimed
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of…
Live By The Word
Deut 8:1-6 God our Creator, in His Wisdom, tabulated the ways to organize our lives. He put them as Commands, not choices. Humans must debate & give our views. We are free to. As children we ask “Why?” A loving dad says “because” then the question stops; order is obeyed, surprisingly! His Old Testament “commands of Love“ finally show up in living visible nature …Christ Jesus, called the Word, who has been from the beginning and “without whom nothing was…
