“Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress… The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness, a light has dawned.” (Isa. 9:1, 2). The coming of Jesus Christ, the Light of the world, is the greatest event this earth will ever know. If Christ […]

“The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned.” “In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.” “When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life” […]

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast” (Eph. 2:8,9). We are in a season of holidays when children and adults alike are looking with hope for some gifts that will make their holidays merry. […]

Do not wear yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show restraint (Pro. 23:4). Verses like this in the Bible are counterintuitive. Every human being exerts some effort to be rich or wealthy.

“May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world” (Gal. 6:14).

Only God can do that but even with God He prefers teamwork and that is the pattern He has left for His creation. God […]

The death of Christ is not only the demonstration of God’s love (John 3:16), but also the supreme expression of Christ’s own love for all who receive Him as their personal savior. It baffles us that God who is all powerful and knows everything allowed His only Son to suffer and die. Why did God not make another way to […]

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. Ps. 23:1 Although many can verbally interpret what this verse is saying correctly, but the way we live it out gives a different interpretation. We live out this verse daily as if we employed or hired God to watch over us and ensure that we are protected and well cared for. […]
