Hans Christian Anderson told a powerful story called “The Emperor’s New Clothes”. I think every adult in this day and age should be familiar with that story. The story is about an emperor who is deceived by con men pretending to be tailors, who offer to make him […]
“Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). Jesus said that, it wasn’t me. In my humble opinion, that means we are all born losers…because unless we receive a rebirth of our Spirit, we shall not enter God’s rest. In Christianity, […]
Last week, I wrote a post to show that Christians have been called to a far better covenant than the old one God entered with the Hebrews. I lamented that too many Christians do not realise the beauty of the new or understand their liberty in this better […]
“But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second” (Heb 8:6-7). I […]
“You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life…” (John 5:39-40). Jesus made this accusation to the Pharisees, but I believe that it […]
“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24). Jesus tells us the very nature of God, and the nature of the worship true believers are to give to Him. God is a Spirit. What that tells me […]
What is Jesus saying here? Is He making a distinction between Himself and God, the Father? And if so, what type of distinction? I think the difference Jesus is highlighting is relationship and understanding of God. The Jews have believed in God, but they have not all known […]
It’s the age old trick of deception; using your enemy’s weakness against them. It was the curiosity of the Trojans, and their greed, which meant that in a time of war, they did not suspect the delivery of a ‘gift horse’, and took it into their courts! In […]
What does that mean? Does it mean that the righteous don’t have a Law nor a need for one? I believe by saying this, Paul was explaining the need for the Law, which is three fold: 1. To make sin and evil known (Rom 3:20); 2. To prevent […]
On this blog, since I have discovered my mandate and calling to preach the Gospel in light of Grace and Truth, I have come to realise just how challenging that can be. It is so very hard to speak the truth without meeting the accusation that I have been […]
Yesterday, the Lord granted me a deeper understanding into His mind and will. I read and reblogged a post, which talked about how our service to God counts for nothing, and is in fact sinful, without love. It was not as though I didn’t know that before. It […]
“For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto […]
People often say Christians shouldn’t threaten unbelievers out of the road to hell…that it is wrong or unethical to preach hell to get them to accept Jesus as their only salvation. It isn’t just the unbelieving who say this. Many Believers think and say this too, with varying degrees of […]
Today, I’m musing on love. God’s love more specifically. After a disagreement I had with another believer, on a post I shared about homosexuality and fornication, where he argued that God’s love is conditional…and said we are not called to show unconditional love, the musings began. I have written […]
Love and righteousness are so closely related that some people think that they are one and the same. But one is superior to the other. Do you know which? If you said love, you are so very right! Love begets righteousness, righteousness begets justice and so on… Righteousness […]
