This episode is part of my podcast series DEAR ATHEIST… If you prefer, LISTEN NOW. ***** The story of ‘The Prodigal Son‘ is a definite favourite among Christians. We love it! I love it too because it’s the most explicit description of God’s extraordinary grace. And the lesson is enough to […]
This episode is part of my podcast series DEAR ATHEIST… If you prefer, LISTEN NOW. ***** Carrying on from yesterday’s musings on unconditional love, I got a few opinions from other believers. One was very interesting. He also believes that God’s love is unconditional, but that the benefits of the love […]
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 […]
My two year old boy is learning new words everyday. I’ve been teaching him to say “please” and “thank you” and “good morning”…and yes, we’ve also practiced “sorry”. He struggles immensely with that one. It is quite mind-blowing. How does he know that he doesn’t mean it…and so […]
“I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I […]
“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 […]
“When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, whom do men say that I the Son of man am? And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. He saith […]
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 […]
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 […]
The story of ‘The Prodigal Son‘ is a definite favourite among Christians. We love it! I love it too because it’s the most explicit description of God’s extraordinary grace. And the lesson is enough to cause any that have gone astray to boldly arise and return to the […]
Carrying on from yesterday’s musings on unconditional love, I got a few opinions from other believers. One was very interesting. He also believes that God’s love is unconditional, but that the benefits of the love are received on conditions…sort of like a man who loves a woman and […]
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) When you read this verse by Jesus, what do you think He is saying? This is the core message of salvation […]
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” (John 1:14) There is no greater wisdom, no greater love, no greater power than was revealed in Jesus […]
“For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief” (Proverbs 24:16). I’ve recently woken up from a deep sleep, and a near fatal fall. I was in the Lord’s palace, adorned as a princess of the Most High, able […]
On the Day of Judgement, when the Son of Man separates His sheep from the goats, there will be a TEST! It is not a test that we will write or sit, it is a test that He will perform, to distinguish one from the other. And those who are among the sheep shall be saved, and those who are among the goats shall be condemned (Matt 25:31-46).
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven” (Matt 7:21).
It was after saying this that the Lord said: “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity”…
