    Nothing should hold us back when we worship the Lord. Our worship must be pure and authentic. That is why God's desire for us is to be released from the bondage of Satan.

    Today, we will be going to Exodus chapter 9. We will study the statements of God in answer to Pharaoh's stubbornness. What does God desire that is of utmost importance? What does God caution us against? What are the consequences of disobedience? May the Lord give us understand on these ...read more

    In dealing with both Christians and non-Christians I have heard people say, “I am afraid that I have committed the unpardonable sin, and therefore there is no hope for me. I can’t be forgiven.” What is the unpardonable sin? Who can commit it?

This is one of the most common questions that people ask me about Scripture. I do not give a quick yes or no answer: first, because there is a lot you ...read more

    Backsliding itself is of course horrendous. But it gets doubly shameful and we’ll end up dishonoring God even more when we repent without fully knowing exactly how we have offended God.

    Seeing and hearing the reactions of different people in the midst of the recent calamities in the world, I find myself grieving because most of us, even the supposedly veteran believers, do not fully understand and recognize God’s clear message behind the events. We just hear and do what we like to ...read more
