Lately, the more I think about hell, the more I question the idea of God. It’s a strange thing for a Christian to say, especially one who once held strongly and taught much about hell previously. But the truth is, I haven’t felt much like a Christian, in […]
According to Buddhism, there are for four noble truths, one of which is that suffering is borne from craving, and I can’t but agree with it. Suffering is said to be caused by our “…attachment to the desire to have (craving) and the desire not to have (aversion)” […]
Oh, Lord, I know You understand us Because of Jesus Christ… I know You care and feel compassion for us… I know that, through Jesus Christ, You felt and feel our pain… You feel the injustice. The fear. The sorrow. The pain of being forsaken, Left to the […]
Dear Lord, I’ve been reading about Your prophesies through Isaiah concerning the Hebrews. I know You were very upset with them for disobeying Your commandments. I know You only promised them Your protection and prosperity if they obeyed. But they forsook You and went after other gods… You […]
Dear Ufuomaee, I don’t know what is wrong with me this days, fear is really gripping my soul to the extent that I find it difficult to sleep and in d process headache comes in. Am not believing in myself the way I used to before. Example: If […]
“But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him” (John 4:23). I started writing this post last month, and all I wrote was the […]
“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing” (John 15:5). Victory in marriage is guaranteed when we are connected to the Vine, as branches, and we […]
When you think about your favourite things about life, having friends must be right up there with eating cake! Friends satisfy our most basic needs for acceptance, belonging and care. Friends tell us that we are worthwhile…we are appreciated and we are loved. Everybody needs a friend. And there […]
This is probably the hardest thing for anybody to do, but it is also the most rewarding act of love. Jesus taught us this principle of losing to gain, through His death on the Cross, where He gave up His life to gain the world (John 3:16)! He gave […]
Lord, in obedience to You, I try to love others like myself. I desire to do what You do. Show compassion to the weak, Give bread to the needy, And hope to the oppressed. I seek to love as You love Me, But my self often gets in […]
Because You stayed on that Cross, I am saved. Because You stayed, fighting til Your last, I know I can win… You didn’t have to do it, Lord. You said, “no one takes My life… “I lay it down willingly…” And You taught me to lay mine down […]
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father, which is in Heaven” (Matt 5:16). Lord, I live in a world where people hate the light, and aggressively seek to put it out. In this world, it takes courage […]
“But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her” (Luke 10:42). There’s a story in the Bible about Martha and Mary (Luke 10:38-42), two sisters who loved the Lord Jesus. Martha was a servant with her love. […]
A couple of weeks ago, I was asked this question by a reader. I don’t know what it was relating to, because that was all they wrote in their email. And it seems simple enough to answer “Yes” or “No”. But I think it’s a little more tricky, […]
“And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Be hold we die, we perish, we all perish. Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the Lord shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?” (Num 17:12-13). I’ve been reading the Book of Numbers in the […]
