Without faith, human existence would be miserable if not impossible, for in it hangs all institutions of government and society. Without it, no civilization can ever stand. Our banking system, for example, is one organization where people deposit money based on faith alone that when needed it can be withdrawn. Faith, therefore, is our most precious possession as it provides us the reasoned sense of assurance as we confront our doubts and fears. How did you know, for instance, that the guy who took your beloved wife and son to the airport was a professional cabdriver? With faith that all...

We, Adam's children, are the summit of God’s creation. We were created to trust in Jesus Christ for our salvation from hell for our Maker’s big plan for us in the universe beyond the span of time. Those rejecters and deniers of our Lord Jesus couldn't be a part of this sacred grand design. His program, according to the Scriptures, is to let Christ's born-again followers and all those saved people since the days of old ( all those partakers of the First Resurrection!) run the affairs of God’s earthly people after the Millennium. We will be kings and...

Where is the Arrogance About Life When God Owns Everything? At the prime of his life, age 36, a friend of mine died of heart attack. Very healthy and robust, but his heart failed him one day during a party. Yes, the first symptom of a heart attack is death, the number one killer disease. […]
Continue ReadingFlawed Belief System Before Learning Real Christianity
Of the judgment after death (mentioned in Hebrews 9:27) versus our typical flawed belief system. The second part of Hebrews 9:27 teaches that "after this [death] comes judgment." We find three important points from this Scripture, namely: 1) That there will be a JUDGMENT; 2) That there will be a JUDGE, and; 3) That there will be LIFE AFTER DEATH to be JUDGED. Amazing, indeed! For only four words namely, "after this comes judgment," we discover three very satisfying truths about who we are and what will become of us. True, there is life beyond the grave awaiting divine judgment...

Promised immortality to Christ's truly regenerated followers. 1000 years life on earth is a pale comparison with the Christian promised immortality .... A brief life that is devotedly faithful to Jesus Christ as Lord and personal Savior is better off than a hundred years of a Christless existence. Leonardo da Vinci once said that "a life well-spent is a long life." This thought, profound as it may appear, is still inadequate if used to describe the Christian hope of eternal life in heaven with God. Set side by side with the promised immortality through faith in Christ, a thousand years...
Continue ReadingBroken Spirit Leads to God and Faith in Jesus Christ
We are closer to God only when we seem broken inwardly --- in the spirit. It is the meaning of Psalm 51:17: "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise." Hence, trials are necessary for a balanced life! They are God's will for us to believe and humble ourselves before Him. They are divine mechanisms to remind us of our dust origin. God is near to those experiencing a broken spirit and having a contrite or repentant heart.
