Foolishness of Jehovah

exceeds the wisdom of Mankind;

torture by crucifixion

was to serve as a deterrent

to stop all forms of crime.



Inhumane treatment

demonstrates insatiable blood thirst

in a vain attempt to bring out

the best character of man

by placing World's justice system first.



However, death of the Innocent Lamb,

a perfect sacrifice God did decree

to bridge the gap of sin

using Man's worst punishment

in a twist of…

Do you often judge other people?                                                                   Are you quick to see what’s wrong in someone else’s…

Revelation 16 

¹And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. 

²And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. …

He calls us to become an entirely new creation

The Apostle Paul gives us a challenge with his statement “if anyone is in Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:17). For he is saying that this is only true of us IF we are IN Christ. But, what a glorious truth it is, for those who are IN…

We all do it. We size up people, based on what we see, then we make judgments on such, even if not mean-spirited or critical. But things are not always as they appear.



For instance, I know people who have a really hard time with obese individuals—the assumption being that the person has no self control. They find it hard to respect them as a manager or leader . . .but, could it be that there are things totally out of the ‘big’ person’s control that have led to the individual’s own…

Revelation 15 

¹And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. 

²And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of…

I have often talked to people who say they are too scared to witness, or reach out to people that are strangers to them. They're scared to look them in the eye and invite them to church; or they're scared of what the person will think. This is all common. I've even struggled with it.

For the past few months, I've found the courage and bravery to stand up and talk to someone about Jesus. I'm no longer ashamed to say that Jesus loves them and that He's coming back. I've gotten…

After a week of waiting patiently, my new Bible arrived today. It's a NIV, which I think is perhaps not the most popular? I also have a Standard Revised Bible from the 1950's ( I  think the older language use is beautiful and adds to the meaning) so I can use both. The great thing about the new one is that it's the 'words of life' version so has Bible study and also different little thoughts on different passages.

I also have come across Bible gateway which shows you all the different…

Kingdom Principle

 Romans 8:35.37

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?…

This past weekend we had a Ladies retreat at a local lodge, it has the most beautiful gardens full of nooks and crannies where one can just sit and reflect on the word of the lord, and I was sitting near one of the many ponds on the property and as I was just thinking about how far the Lord has brought me since the days when I was homeless and living on the street

He gave me a vision which is just so relevant for all of us today, I saw a number of lovely gilded bird cages…

2 TIMOTHY 3:16   ALL SCRIPTURE IS GOD BREATHED AND IS USEFUL FOR TEACHING, REBUKING, CORRECTING AND TRAINING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Clearly the Scriptures is the Christian standards in our everyday life. But it seems that interpretations of the Bible separate a lot of professing true Bible believers. Why does alot of people are interpreting the scriptures in a way that will conform to their cultures and traditions, sometimes in accordance to the law of the land? Why does human intelligence…

Revelation 14 

¹And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads. 

²And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 

³And they sung as it were a…

I have smoked cigarettes for 2 years after giving up for 2 years after smoking for few years before that. I have to share with my new brothers and sisters yesterday God told me I am ready to give this wicked habit up. I smoked my last cigarette at 8pm last night, and I keep thinking where are the symptoms, I just feel so normal, fresh and alive. My children are so pleased. Please join me in thanksing the Lord for his blessings. Amen.

Does God Really Hear Us?

By Grant Phillips

How often have we talked to God, and felt the intimacy of His presence, and then other times our prayers seemed to stop just short of the ceiling? Even though we may be a child of the Most High God, we are still hampered by the frailties of our human tabernacle while upon this…

A new friend is as new wine.

It shall grow old;

and thou shalt drink it with pleasure.

--Ecclesiastes 9:[10]

(please note: in my revised standard edition Bible, puzzlingly, this is a different verse, I am in no way advocating alcohol to those who ae opposed to the drnking of such) but the idea of growing in friendship with those who share my trust and faith in the Lord Almighty struck a cord.

Update : this has been interesting, the verse is actually apparently from…

Crisis of Faith is an Identity Crisis

Often, people with a weak identity in Christ will struggle to believe that God loves them, or that He cares for them personally. They may feel that they have lost their salvation, because of sin in their life or because of troubles that have come. “Oh, sure”, they say “I believe Jesus is The Savior – I know He died for my sins and that He rose from the dead. But, I don't think God cares about me, and I don't…

Revelation 13 

¹And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 

²And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his…
