In this chapter, the Israelites appears to make a wise decision, inviting God’s presence by bringing the Ark of Tabernacle. “With God with us, we won’t loose. He’ll destroy our enemies like He did before,” they thought. Some Christians today think the same, “We’ll call Jesus’s powerful name to speak to all our problems. He […]
This chapter talks about Josiah, the good Judah king, cleaning the house of the Lord, after he discovered the Book of the Law. He renewed the covenant with the people to the Lord. To my shock, even though the Bible said he’s a good king that follows the Lord, at time point, he hasn’t cleaned […]
During the October fasting, Pastor K asked us to pray about 1. what do I lack? 2. What do we (church) lack? In the sense that how would we vision the church to be like in next 5 years, and what do we need to get there? and 3. What’s the cost? After praying, 1st […]
Path: Revelation 22: talks about cowards won’t be in the Kingdom. Prayed about ‘not running away’. Daniel 9: talks about how Daniel prayed, repent for Israel. God’s doing is just and right. It’s the people that have sinned. Yet Daniel asks for mercy and forgiveness for the people/city, calling out to God’s loving kindness and […]
There’s the Tree of Life. But we also have a Water of Life. And it’s for “all who are victorious”. “Coward’s fate is the lake of fire”. Which is interesting, because cowardice is listed next to things like unbelievers, corrupt, murderers, immoral, idolator, witches, and liars. God sentences cowardice the same. Cowardice as in “not […]
“So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples” (13:34-35) “Just believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me.” (14:11) “If […]
1 Peter 1 V13-17: “God has no favorites”. I take it that God will judge you whether if you are Christian or not. But is that true? If we are God’s children, then God will discipline us like His children. V22: Peter goes back to one of the most important commands of Jesus: Love each […]
O: v4. Why is the life that the Word gives bring light to everyone? NASB says “In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men”. v5: Another way to say “extinguish” is “comprehend”. Darkness did not understand the light. “comprehend” would be weird to understand. Whereas “overcome”/”extinguish” is easier. Because darkness is […]
“Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude.” I feel this is a word for me from God. I had read this passage to my daughter not too long ago (2 weeks ago max). And during this time, I’ve been working hard for a technical design. On Friday, a […]
O: Most of the earlier verses talks about how Paul didn’t get paid and he didn’t marry for the sake of the Lord’s work. Then he went to talk about various ways that he reach to various people. v23: “I do everything to spread the Good news and share in its blessings.” Then this is […]
