God’s primary concern is with Himself and not us. God is about God. And we want it to be that way. As I’m reading through the Genesis account of the creation of the world, it’s easy to be me-centered and think that all this was created for me. God created the universe to dazzle my […]

The greatest good we can do for ourselves is to pursue our ultimate happiness.* I know that sounds worldly or prosperity-gospelish, but I’ve come to realize that it is what is taught by the bible. Let me explain because if taken wrongly, it is downright worldly and ungodly. First, what is our ultimate happiness? Where […]

Esther 6:3-4–And the king said, “What honor or distinction has been bestowed on Mordecai for this?” The king’s young men who attended him said, “Nothing has been done for him.”  Although “doing good” is something society at large should do, the struggle to do good for “goodness sake” doesn’t seem to be strong enough.  Many […]

We may be rejecting God without knowing. Of course, no Christian will reject God on purpose knowingly. Most of us would say that although not perfect, we are doing the best we can to serve God. But what if we are dead wrong? It is ultimately God’s assessment of us that matters and not our […]

Matthew 27:3-4–Then when Judas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus was condemned, he changed his mind and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders, 4 saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” They said, “What is that to us? See to it yourself.” If I asked you who […]

(Thank you for your prayers. My family and I are safely back from our vacation!) God will never let anyone down who trusts in Him. It is never foolish to trust in God. The problem is that sometimes it DOES look foolish to trust in God. It may seem like a bad decision to follow […]

Matthew 25:10-13–And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut.  11 Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to us.’  12  But he answered, ‘Truly, I say to you, I do not know […]

Matthew 20:29-31-And as they went out of Jericho, a great crowd followed him. 30 And behold, there were two blind men sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!” 31 The crowd rebuked them, telling them to be silent, […]

Acts 15:24-Since we have heard that some persons have gone out from us and troubled you with words, unsettling your minds, although we gave them no instructions, I think everyone knows how hurtful words can cause deep wounds, which divides people’s heart from each other.  But do we think about people who are “positive” with […]
