On your feet now—applaud God! Bring a gift of laughter, sing yourselves into his presence. (Psalm 100:1-2, MSG) Laughter is indeed a gift from God. Life without laughter would be dull, boring, and hard. Life with full of love and laughter is as good as it gets at this side of heaven. I love people who can laugh in the middle of hardships. Martin Luther has said “You have as much laughter as you have faith.”I guess that’s true. We…

Put your nose into the Bible everyday. It is your spiritual food. And then share it. Make a vow not to be a lukewarm Christian. (Kirk Cameron) This quote urges everyone to reach for their Bibles and then turn to others with the Good News of Jesus Christ. The Bible really is our spiritual food. Through the Holy Bible God still speaks to us. It is old but it is always up to date. Because it is the living word…
“Too blessed to be stressed” is a good life motto. We have been given a gift of prayer. So we have a choice to bring all our worries to God and leave them there. We can either worry or pray. They do not go hand in hand. Worry does not make things better. Prayer does. “The great thing in prayer is to feel that we are putting our supplications into the bosom of omnipotent love”(Andrew Murray). We need to make…

There is a need within each of us to know God. We search to know God whether we realise it or not. There are a lot of New Age stuff going on that offer different ways to find God. But the Bible tells us that there is only one way to God: Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “I am the Road, also the Truth, also the Life. No one gets to the Father apart from me. If you really knew me,…
Before we can pray, “Lord, Thy Kingdom come,” we must be willing to pray, “My Kingdom go” says Alan Redpath. There really is no room for two kings in a kingdom. There is no room for two bosses in your heart, either. Someone must surrender. Those who think they can do it on their own end up obsessed with measuring their own moral muscle but never get around to exercising it in real life. Those who trust God’s action in…

Sometimes our path of life seems so desert-like. Stone after stone after stone. We might feel that God has abandoned us in the middle of nowhere. We would like that our pathway of life would be something else than it is. Or at least we would like to see where we are going. The picture above reminds me of the fact that, even though, our path seems not to have consistency or any other quality we think a happy path…
