Depend on Someone or Something: It’s Human Nature

depend

If there’s one thing we don’t fully understand, it is our nature to depend on someone or something in times of need. A child depends on his or her mother, for example, and the mother on her job or parents. Abraham Lincoln once said, “All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.”

Going Crazy for Something Unenlightened, Confusing

If psychiatry has been a perfected science already, then why are there so many people having mental disorder today of whatever form? I should say that knowledge of the God of the Holy Bible has already saved thousands, or even millions, of people from depression or anxiety disorders–from committing suicide! Going crazy? Crazy thoughts are tranquilized by a real faith in Jesus Christ, who said: “Come to Me…I will give you rest.”

Responsibility Redefined, Loses its Objective Meaning

How do you define the word responsibility? It is a “form of trustworthiness,” according to the dictionary, “the trait of being answerable to someone for something or being responsible for one’s conduct.” Is this sense of obligation and answerability now vanishing in the sphere of politics by the dishonesty and corruption of most politicians; of religion by the dollar mentality of many religious leaders; of the family by the parents’ neglect of their children? Hence, we need our sense of trustworthiness to always harmonize with the Christian teachings. We need the biblical accountability as Christ’s people. Let us neither redefined nor humanized our version of responsibility!

Succeed in Life by Understanding Its Principles

Do you want to succeed in life—I mean, really succeed in life? If so, always keep in your mind that you will have a long journey to the city of Success. You will travel across thousands of miles before you can get there. As it is located so far away from your abode, you will spend the rest of your life journeying, always keeping up with the many routines. Only a very few people would give their all on this journey. Once their comfort zones are drawn, some joiners of this life challenge won’t go on any further. Columbus didn’t just sail; rather, he sailed west. To succeed in life is to stick to the goal at all costs; the very key to an achievement that the quitters and failures in our midst don’t possess.

Giving a Testimony

Many Christians want to share their testimonies and experiences with the risen Lord Jesus Christ, especially during prayer meetings. And we don’t have a problem with that because sharing a testimony is biblical. But what kind of statement do you have: a testimonial about how holy you are, and that is why God worked with you and answered all your prayers; or that when you prayed to Jesus, He showed up, because you are more faithful and more favored by God? That’s what I want to talk about using the experience of Dr. Harry Ironside from his book titled: “Holiness: The False and the True (1912).”

God’s Fellowship With Humanity is High in His agenda

god's fellowship with humanity

God’s fellowship with man is one compelling truth. Every passing moment God is interested in our closeness to Him. Intimacy absorbs Him as He called Adam to fellowship with Him even during Adam’s first ever disobedience. “Where are you?,” (Gen. 3:9) was God’s language of concern when Adam and Eve rebelled against Him. “We will come to him and make Our abode with him,” was Christ’s teaching on God’s designed union with humankind. (John 14:23b) It is God’s blueprint for the loving Creator-man relationship: making our body God Spirit’s temple. (cf. I Cor. 6:19) Wrote the apostle Paul: “Christ liveth in me.” God’s fellowship with humanity starts here in this life.
