Man's Journey on Earth (Part 2a)  "God in his infinite grace makes the Gospel available to everyone at every age.  During the last cycle of a person’s life, he or she must choose the right path quickly and wisely because time is exponentially limited." A fork in the road Introduction Life offers us many choices. Choices such as the schools to attend, career paths, marriage partners, including trivialities like selecting between vanilla or strawberry ice cream are some of the plentiful options available to us. Oftentimes, our choices are not limited to two like the above metaphor, but more than two. In the selection process, we invariably narrow down the alternatives to two of the best options and from thereon, we decide what we think is the ideal choice.  In this article, I will be guiding readers into considering the options between taking the Christian path or to continue the current path an individual is walking. In this current path, I assume that the person may have ...

"A review of a person’s typical life cycle will be helpful to provide us with a birdseye view of our activities which I believe is common to all. Such a view will help us see the forest instead of the woods, opening our eyes to realise the futility of our labours if life just ends without any hope of eternal life. It is our prayers that the reader after reading this article will be able to appreciate the provision of eternal life by our God and Saviour Jesus Christ." Man's Journey on Earth  Part 1: Our life cycle Part 1 Our life cycle Part 2 A fork in the road Part 3 Christian’s standards Part 4 A preview of the Christian hope Heb 9:27  And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. Introduction This article is a Gospel message and I hope you can also share it with your family and friends. It is divided into four parts although each can be read independently. The meaning of the word  “Gospel”  is good news. It is good news because ...

St John 7: 19-24 Judge Righteously! "I wish to say that it is fine to judge and oftentimes, constructive judgment helps us to improve ourselves.  The only reservation to judgment is to avoid making unrighteous judgments like the Jews who wanted to kill the Lord Jesus because He appears to break the Sabbatical laws. Frivolous judgment is also a form of unrighteous judgment which should be avoided." This week’s message is taken from the Bible passage in St John 7:19-24.  The Lord Jesus was teaching the Jews in the temple during the Feast of Tabernacles. In the feast, some Jews longed to hear His teachings, but there was also a group, especially the religious leaders who were jealous of the Lord’s popularity. These envious Jews desired to charge and sentence the Lord Jesus to death on the grounds of breaking the Sabbath regulation when the Lord healed the paralysed man on a Sabbath day.  The following is a brief commentary of the passage to help us understand the ra...

Glorify God!  St John 7: 16 - 20 In the Westminster shorter catechism , the first question was: Q. What is the chief end of man? A.  Man’s chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever. The statement above to most readers at the first reading may appear quite boring and sad.  The reader’s impression of this statement can get worse if they find that some churches, known to be bastions for the truth of Christianity, are not fulfilling their duties. The bad testimony of some Christian ministers further tarnishes Christianity when they misinterpret the scriptures for their own end.  It is no surprise for casual readers to think that the catechism portrays life as a bland episode. In this post, I hope to explain why we will enjoy God’s blessings when we go about fulfilling His will and, in the process, glorify Him.  Background (John 7:16-20) In the above passage, the Lord Jesus was teaching in the temple during the Feast of Tabernacles....

Psalms 119:130  “The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.”  The Word of God, as far as the context allows, must be taken literally. The failure to accept the word of God literally is the reason why many Christians have a feeble understanding of God and they miss out on the joy of being a Christian.  As a result, the account of Daniel in the lion’s den becomes a children’s story; the coming of the Lord is simply a placebo. Church attendance to them is a chore and unknowingly, they may have become agnostics.   Job's understanding and trust in God The book of Job was probably written much earlier than Genesis. Although Genesis covers events from the beginnings, the book of Job may have existed during the era when the events at the Tower of Babel took place. The mention of prehistoric creatures like unicorns (Job 39:9) and dinosaurs (Job 41:1, 19) are evidence of it being written much earlier. The extinction of these...

(Part B) The Common Attacks of the Devil Today, the devil's methods are still the same but disguised in various forms. Before our Lord returns to take us to His heavenly home, we are still in the midst of this spiritual conflict. We are exhorted to be vigilant and take on the whole armour of God (Ephesians 6:11) 1 Corinthians 10:13     There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. The devil’s method against Christians has not changed since the time of Adam. The book of Job reveals the devil’s comprehensive strategy to tempt men and cause them to sin against God. The final destination of man’s transgression is not against another man— but against God. In Gen 39:9, when Joseph was tempted, he knew that if he committed adultery with the woman, he would first sin against God and...
