From eternity past to eternity future, God was, is, and will be. He simply exists: He existed even before time began! But at one point there was a council in the divine Trinity – The Triune God took a decision, He had a counsel – He wants a corporate expression in this universe (Gen 1:26)! For this, […]
take time to behold Christ, to fellowship with Him and absorb Him
Ever since the Lord has appeared to us the first time, we have been captivated by this lovely One. Now we just love to take some time – even “steal” some time from our daily activities/routine/things to do – to fellowship with Him, pray, enjoy Him, read the Word, and just spend time with the […]
the new worship that the Father needs in the new age of the New Testament
I just realized this morning that in John 4:23 the Lord Jesus says “But an hour is coming, and it is now…” – this shows that there was a change of the age! In the past/our religious way, it used to be different, BUT now, the true worshippers worship God in spirit and in truthfulness! […]
just as in Paul’s case, it should matter to the church whether we live or die
Paul was a normal Christian: one who lived Christ, magnified Christ, ministered Christ, and infused Christ into others.

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 […]
