God wants us to worship Him, and as we saw previously, to worship God according to His desire is to eat Him and to drink Him. In the writings of Paul we see some examples of such proper worship to God, like Eph 3:14-17, For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father, of […]
the real worship of God is to eat Him and drink Him in our spirit
Recently I have been very impressed with God’s desire and seeking for worshippers – those who worship Him in spirit and in truthfulness. God wants us to worship Him, yet nowhere in the Bible we are told that we need to prostrate ourselves before Him and bow down/kneel down to worship Him. Rather, both the […]
the divine history within the human history, God’s economy and purpose
In school we are being taught about the history of our nation & the history of the continent we live in & the history of the world.

just as in Paul’s case, it should matter to the church whether we live or die

In all he did/said the others saw Christ living in him […]

your work of faith, labor of love, and endurance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ
This morning I enjoyed this verse so much – 1 Thes 1:3, ‘Remembering unceasingly your work of faith and labor of love and endurance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father’. Just to pray over this verse, to ask the Lord, Lord, may my work be a work of faith, […]
our Christian life is a life of preaching the gospel by loving one another
Until the Lord comes, since we are saved, we preach the gospel through our living, our attitude, our words – our very Christian life is a preaching of the gospel. Actually, according to Paul’s word in Phil 1:5-6, it is Christ who does this good work of preaching the gospel. Christ preaches the gospel in […]
