The Blood of Jesus

Knowing that you were not redeemed by corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Jesus Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. - 1 Peter 1:18-19 The sight of blood can make even the strong...

Crisis or Opportunity

The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights. -  Habakkuk 3:19 NIV When crisis arise, they appear foreboding- pink slip at work; a somber look on the face of your physician after seeing test results; an unexpected call with the sad...

When You Are Feeling Condemned

Prayer is for God

Jesus taught His disciples how to pray during the Sermon at the Mount. But more than this, He also taught them how not to pray.

Just The Way You Are

We all want to be loved. I have never known someone who does not want to be loved by another person. And we would be happier if we are being loved by someone whom we love as well.

Pass Your Papers

When I was in grade school, I’ve always been excited when the teacher announces an examination. I review a lot, I study hard, and my goal has always been either to have a perfect score in the exam or to get the highest score among the class.

Worshipping with Confidence

You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy. - 1...

We want to work...
