Luke 10:42 (NIV) says, "but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her." The second "one thing" matter funnels down our need for a personal and intimate moment with God - to sit at the feet of Jesus. Your generosity makes a difference! Here are four easy ways you can give and support the ministry: Mobile - Gi...

Psalm 27:4 (NIV) says, "One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple." The first "one thing" matter funnels down our desire for God's presence - to dwell in the house of the Lord, to gaze upon His beauty, and to seek Him in His temple. Yo...

Matthew 7:13-14 (NIV) says, “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." Christ has come, died and risen; sin has been fully paid; redemption has been completely executed; salvation has been freely extended. But choice is ou...

New year always implies new hope - hope in achieving success, winning opportunities, owning possessions, gaining fitness, securing wealth and so on. But Jesus has taught that there are certainly more valuable, imperishable, and eternal things to hope for, much deeper than what appears on the outside. Your generosity makes a difference!

Luke 13:6 (NIV) says, "Then he told this parable: 'A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any.'" On this last Sunday of the year 2024, it is important to pause for a moment, to reposition the posture of our inner self, as a preparation to end this year and to enter the new year. God constantly seeks ("zeteo") f...

Luke 2:7 (NIV) says, “and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them." The first Christmas occurred on the night that Jesus, the Son of God and the long-promised Messiah, was born on earth in the form of ordinary man through the virgin birth of Mary. His entrance to the world was far from roy...

Isaiah 9:6 (NIV) says, "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." In this very prophecy, the core message of Christmas was written - the most perfect gift of God to humanity. It was God Himself born in the form of human; it was the one and only...

1 John 2:5-6 (NIV) says, "But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did." Christlikeness is not an artificial attempt to become like Christ or to become equal in His deity and divinity - it is indeed a case of impossibility. Instead, Christlikeness is a Spirit-led transfor...

Christlikeness is a Christian term that is more often said than understood, and more often mentioned than lived. It is a powerful word in a sense that it encapsulates various Christian elements or attributes, and summarises them all in one word. Despite its succinctness, Christlikeness has also become one of the most misused, misinterpreted and mispreached subject from church pulpits - a term that...

The fourth question that is often asked to negate the notion of God is, "How can Christianity be exclusively offensive in claiming as the only way to God?" This question can be expanded to more wide-ranging questions such as, "How possible is it that the one and true God be perfectly described in the one Christian holy book called the Bible?", "What makes Christianity diff...

The third question that is often asked to negate the notion of God is, "How does a loving God allow death?" The questions present God as seemingly contradictory—on one hand, He initiates life in each person, yet on the other, He brings about their death. He guides His followers to the Father’s house while condemning the unfaithful to hell. He offers salvation but also enforces eternal pu...

While the theory of evolution asserts that life emerged through natural processes like natural selection, beginning with simple single-cell organisms that evolved over millions of years into diverse life forms—claims that have significantly impacted religious beliefs yet remain subject to objections, including Darwin's own acknowledgment that the absence of fossils and the existence of complex...

A worldview based purely on science rejects the supernatural and miraculous as incompatible with logic and natural laws; however, miracles should not be seen as violations of these laws but rather as divine interventions that influence natural events within specific circumstances, as natural laws operate under implicit ceteris paribus conditions. Therefore, if Christians believe that God is the Cr...

A common question used to challenge the notion of God is, "Why does a loving God allow suffering?" , often expanding into broader concerns such as why He does not intervene or why innocent people experience hardship; yet, while suffering is an inevitable part of life and has led secular worldviews to conclude that its existence disproves God, a deeper analysis suggests the opposite—suffe...

In Mark 12:13–17, when questioned about paying taxes to Caesar, Jesus exposed the hypocrisy of the Pharisees and Herodians by affirming that people must give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God—acknowledging that every human lives under the influence of two systems: one established by worldly authority, represented by Caesar who claimed divine status as both political a...
