Closer Day By Day

Walking with Jesus, Walking everyday, Walking all the way. Walking with Jesus, Walking with Jesus alone. As we continue to read Luke each week, do you feel like you are walking with Jesus? I particularly love the gospel books for this reason: being able to walk with Him during the time He walked on earth, [...]

When we read the Old Testament, have we ever felt that God is sometimes too harsh and unforgiving? When we read about the judgement He metes out, do we ever question how a God who is supposed to be love can allow such atrocities to happen in the name of judgement? Have we ever wondered [...]

There is a story of Pericles, the ancient great leader of the Greeks. From time to time, he will issue decrees which are inscribed on plaques and displayed in prominent locations around the city. On one occassion, an ambassador came to Pericles asking that a certain decree be changed and the plaque removed. “I am [...]

Bible Passage:  Ephesians 4-6 Recollecting… Today’s reading is not a difficult read because of the nature of the 3 chapters here being very practical and applicable. As mentioned previously, Paul has a manner of writing that is both [...]

If your Bible is one with the words of Jesus highlighted in red, you would have noticed that the bulk of today’s reading comes from Jesus Himself. As I was reading it, I imagined myself right there before the Lord, following Him whenever He goes, and listening as He speaks. I can’t help but grew [...]

Today, we raise the curtains on a new book. This is something I find very exciting because to me, it is akin to watching a play opening and unfolding. This is especially so for today’s book because its protagonist is a prophet whose life can be said to be a play depicting the further tragedy [...]

I was telling a friend about the Bible Seminars and Theological Seminars conducted in our church for students and youths.  And he could not believe that our members would be willing to site through lectures lasting between 1 to 3 weeks at a stretch.  For him and in his church, 3 days seems to be [...]
