Luke 11:31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. A PREVIEW OF THE CHRISTIAN HOPE When most Christians are asked about the Christian hope, they will inadvertently say ‘Heaven’.  However, the Christian hope is more than the place called ‘heaven’. Although heaven is part of the Christian hope, it cannot be the only hope. Just as if you are staying in an idyllic island, our hope is more than just that. There is no point staying on that island when you are already a cancer stricken patient who is about to die.  This article provides a preview of the Christian hope. A good understanding of our hope can encourage believers in the Christian path to walk with joy. In the quotation (Luke 11:31) above, the queen of Sheba came to witness the magnificence of Solomon’s kingdom and after the visit, she ex...

" If you are not on the Christian path, you will find these Christian standards burdensome. However, if you are on the right path, you will find that His standards are actually not difficult to observe as quoted in 1 John 5:3. "  CHRISTIAN STANDARDS (Part 3b) I often encounter people who are quite shy to be called a Christian. I have given the subject on why some Christians are shy to announce that they are Christians and come to certain conclusions that it has something to do with the subject of Christian standards.  In Merriam Webster, the word ‘standards’ can be defined as “something established by authority, custom, or general consent as a model or example”. In our case, Christian Standards will be the model behaviour of a Christian established by the Bible. A Christian must indeed abide by the standards that the Lord Jesus Christ set out in the Bible. Naturally, when a Christian falls short of God’s standards, he is ashamed to bear His name. I have spent a considerable ...

"Some believe in their own reasonings that they are on the Christian path because they are not anti-Christian, so God will give them the heavenly promises. Some progress by embracing the faith even to the extent of baptism, but stop attending church services. They justify their actions by their reasonings that God understands their peculiar situations and quotes, ‘once saved, always saved’ . Elders and Pastors are important in guiding us on the path we take― but the best person to check whether you are on the Christian path is yourself ."  CHRISTIAN STANDARDS (Part 3a)  Luke 15:10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. One of the fairest events in the world is the gift of salvation. Whether you are rich and famous or poor and incognito, God treats us equally. The joy felt in heaven is no different as the verse above tells us plainly over the joy felt when one sinner repented.  It is the will of God for ...

Human reasoning is a unique feature of the humankind and this is a radical difference between humans and animals. However, we must admit that human reasoning has its limitations too and can also be biased and influenced by the environment and norms of society. The Christian Path In Part 2 (a) of my earlier article, I mentioned that the fork in the road comprises many choices. On the matter of how you conduct your life, I have narrowed down to two choices, i.e. one’s Current path and the Christian path. The Christian path was unreservedly recommended and for those who want to know why the Christian path was so strongly recommended, this section aims to provide the answers. The Current path Who are on this path? Man’s current path is the result of people’s reasoning on how they conduct their life on earth. Apart from their reasoning, quite a number walk this path by convention. Without much thinking, they continue the journey because that was how their forefathers used to live. Similarly...

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."

The meaning of the word  “Gospel”  is good news. It is good news because ...
