    To clarify the confusion between being religious and being spiritual.

    We are very religious but not too sure, if we are spiritual, what is the difference? Are they the same? On the other hand, do they have different meanings to convey?

    Hurry Up, God!

    David's prayer is that God will hurry up and deliver him from persecution. However, his life also demonstrated submission to God by not taking matters into his own hands.

    Psalm 70 As we begin, I want to advise you that this Psalm is a repetition, almost word for word, of the last part of Psalm 40. This theme was so important to David, he included it in two of his Psalms. VS. 1 Hurry Up, God! When we try to rush God’s Timing it is because we feel an ...read more

     | 3,031 views

    We need to be more like Jesus. How he handles both sinners and their accusers teach us lessons we need to practice. Here in John 8, Jesus shines again.

    John 8:1-11 Jesus and the Woman caught in Adultery It looks like an airtight case! She was caught in the act; eye witnesses stand present ready to give their deadly testimony. A sort of mock court convenes in front of Jesus there in the temple grounds and the accusers press him for a judgment. ...read more

    Of Grace And Envy

     | 5,211 views

    How is the Kingdom of heaven to be understood in light of laboring for Christ while the world enjoys the pleasures of sin? The parable of Jesus in Matthew 20 is helpful here.

    Matthew 20:1-16 Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard Jesus introduces this parable saying that the kingdom of heaven is like this. That's an impressive, if not disturbing introduction to this particular parable for many reasons. I believe that the kingdom of heaven in Matthew's gospel applies ...read more

    Many believers are disturbed by the thought that there may be Christians who could be lost. We need the comfort of Christ Who offers "eternal life" so that we need never fear such an end.
