Prayers Make a Difference

Prayers Make a Difference

The world is going crazy, or at least it feels that way. Suffering is real for many. Without the crucified Christ, I would despair. But with Christ, I keep hoping and increase my prayers. Because I believe prayers make a difference. In more ways than one. We make this plea, not because we deserve help, but because of your mercy. (Daniel 9:18a, NLT) Prayers make a difference, not because of us but because of God. God loves us, not because…

How to Keep Yourself in God’s Love

How to Keep Yourself in God’s Love

Do you know how to keep yourself in God’s love? This is an important question because only in his love do we feel safe and secure, happy and blessed. And his love is the rightful and most joyful place for all his children. Hence we need to know how to stay there. Only when we remember God’s goodness, do we dare to wait for God. The letter of Jude guides us this way: But you, dear friends, by building yourselves…

What a Wonderful Father

What a Wonderful Father

In the last couple of days, there have been a lot of quotes by Tim Keller – who made it home to heaven this week – going around in cyberspace. I wanted to share my favorite as well. It speaks volumes about what a wonderful Father we have in heaven welcoming all who believe in Jesus to him. We don’t need to wait until we see him face to face. God is waiting for us to show up in his…

Prayer to Know God’s Will

Prayer to Know God’s Will

Do you ever wonder what God wants you to do? We might think God’s will must be something complicated so that’s why we don’t even try. That’s sad, isn’t it? Because then we miss our purpose as well. For a long time, I’ve been trying to figure out the simplest way to know God’s will for me. And, yes, it’s prayer, of course. But what kind of prayer, right? Let’s find out. And then, just the other day, I came…

Faith Gives You Strength, Peace, and Joy

Faith Gives You Strength, Peace, and Joy

When you walk with Jesus, you can’t hide your inner joy even though the world around you might not recognize the source of your strength, peace, and joy. If people are happy with superficial living, and just splashing on the surface, they will never find the treasures of deep grace diving. That’s a shame, don’t you think? Mainly because they can never find the pearl of deep-sea, Jesus. If you keep my commands, you will live in my love, just…

Christmas – the Global Love Fest

Christmas – the Global Love Fest

This post is for you who are not feeling the Spirit of Christmas. For you who feels unlovable. Or for you who can’t fathom what this global love fest is all about. Because that’s what Christmas really is: the global love fest. And it’s not about how lovable any of us is. No. It’s about how ginormous God’s love is towards mankind. You see, God’s love is limitless, beyond anything we can ever understand. Christmas, this global love fest, is…

You Are Dear to God

You Are Dear to God

Last week, I was preparing a talk for the last Sunday of the church year and as I read a little background on the text of the Old Testament book of Daniel, I came across these insanely wonderful verses. They spoke to me right away and I feel like this will bless you too. Believe me, my friend, you are dear to God. Then the one (Gabriel) whose appearance was like that of a man touched me again, and he…

You Are More than Tasks

You Are More than Tasks

Why is it so deeply engraved in us that we’d need to be productive or successful in order to be accepted or admired? Yet it is a big fat lie and the eternal truth is far from it. Mary DeMuth exposes ten lies and shares ten truths in her latest book Stop Living Small: Ten Truths Toward Your Significant Life. This post will tackle the second lie: You are what you produce by showing you are more than tasks. Mary DeMuth…

Reasons to Praise God

Reasons to Praise God

One of the few psalms I know by heart is the shortest chapter in the very middle of the Bible. Psalm 117 emphasizes the universality of salvation and reminds us of reasons to praise God even when everything seems to go wrong. Actually, these reasons make us soar like eagles every time we let them permeate our souls. O praise the Lord, all you nations!Praise Him, all you people!For His lovingkindness prevails over us [and we triumph and overcome through Him],And…

The Source of All Comfort

The Source of All Comfort

It seems to me that what we all need right now is comfort. The pandemic has been with us almost a year and the end is not quite there yet. We need to persevere but we are exhausted. Hence we need some comfort and new strength. Otherwise, we won’t make it. But do not fear, we are in good hands. The source of all comfort is our God. All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God…
