Closer Day By Day

Today, we continue to walk with Jesus as He went around preaching the kingdom of God, teaching the Word, and performing miracles. In just two chapters, there is recorded so many different events that one might find it hard to consolidate them. Just a few events will be noted here, along with some personal reflections. [...]

TEARS!  There are many different kinds of tears. Tears of Joy.  Tears of Sorrow.  Tears of Laughter.  Tears of Regret.  Tears of Irritation.  Tears of Pain… We have spent the last few weeks reading the book of Jeremiah – the Weeping Prophet.  Jeremiah was deeply griefed as his tears flowed from a broken heart.  His [...]

One of the favourite quotes by one of my Junior College lecturers was “Ignorance is bliss”!  Of course he always said it in a sarcastic manner whenever we demonstrated our inability to grasp his lesson or whenever we simply was not interested in what he was teaching. He always lamented that the school had set [...]

“Evangelise!  Preach the Gospel.  Mass tracting!  Pray for Door of Grace to be Opened”.

In today’s passage, we are tying up the loose ends to the book of Jeremiah. Last week, we read that the Lord pronounced judgement on Egypt.  And today, we read about how God will deal with eight other nations.  All these nations played a significant role in the downfall of Israel because of their idolatorous [...]

I hoped you all had a good Spiritual Meeting and am now recharged and ready to restart your engines for God.  As Dn Liew said when he ended the Spiritual Meeting, one constant theme seemed to ring out throughout was this… My son, give me your heart, And let your eyes observe my ways. Proverbs [...]
