The Apostle Paul purposefully states that if he would want to get somewhere, it is ultimately God who needs to guide and direct his drive (1 Thess. 3:11). It is God who can straighten the path, show a more probably path, remove all obstacles (or create them), and provide direction for where we should go and…

A profound appreciation or a prolonged love is acquired only after careful contemplation. We only truly understand something after we have studied it, thought about it and reflected on it. This happens with our salvation. The more we see the density of our depravity, the more satisfying the gospel becomes to us. This happens with our…

It is probably one of the most powerful and potent passages that I have ever come across in the Old Testament. The whole counsel of God is phenomenal and all of Scripture is profitable. This place that…

When we question the actions of God, we become an offense to the will of God. When we suspiciously scrutinize the way God decided to act in a certain situation, we are submitting to our own personal preferences and neglecting the omnipotent God of the universe. When we do not agree with God or refuse to…

Sin tainted humanity in the garden of Eden (Gen 3:6-7). Sin was conquered on behalf of humanity in the garden of Gethsemane (Lk. 22:39-46).   The epic conquest for the lives of human beings did not begin at Golgotha but in Gethsemane. It is in this garden, the bloody battle for our life was begun…

Часто мы слушаем Слово от Бога и Слово Бога так как оно не является тем самым сообщением которое имеет силу поменять нашу жизнь. Мы много знаем о Слове, говорим Слово, цитируем Слово, слышим Слово, но часто пренебрегаем Словом и не принимаем Слово как следует.
