Having Compassion
Jude 1:22 Of some have compassion, making a difference: There are many in this world who are trapped in sin. Some have been ignorantly led to sin and as a result, made mistakes that now enslave them. Some sadly, because of personal sin, and poor decision-making, have caused themselves to be caught. Some have intentionally gone the way of sin, done the wrong and as a result, are under the cloud of darkness and distress. No matter what the approach or the method of enslavement, they are now enslaved and caught. The apostle Jude admonishes Christians to help, to reach out and to save these because, without help, they will…

The Need

Then said I, Here am I; send me. 2.74 billion people have never heard the name of the Lord Jesus. In Malaysia alone, close to 9 million people have never once heard the name of Jesus and that He came to die for their sins and rose again the third day, both to give them life forever, and life abundant now. God in Heaven sent His Son to bring redemption to us. Now He asks this question of us who are…

Helping Someone to the Saviour

There are many people without the light of the gospel in Singapore. Many more in the clutches of sin, and many still in the clutches of religion that will bind their souls to false beliefs and tradition, till the day they pass from this world into the next. They will find that Biblical Christianity has the word of truth that leads to eternal life. Until then, they continue merrily along life’s way without knowing the ends therefore are…

The Law of the Lord is Perfect
Image © 2009, Timothy Lee. Used with permission. Psalm 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul The word “soul” is an interesting word. It may be used to refer to a person. It is interesting, though, that “person” in the Hebrew word refers to breathing passively. In this word, we see that our physical existence is sustained by the Lord Himself and our physical life is in His hand. We need to realize that we are dependent on God for our everyday life. We are a living soul because of the breath of God, allowing us to breathe the very next second. The soul, however, was…

Doing the Word of God
James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. God’s Word is given to us in order that we may learn the truth and follow the truth. God’s purpose for us in following His truth is to make us free (John 8:31) from sin, guilt and the past life that has been a load and a burden to us. It also helps us become more like the Lord Jesus, more loving in our actions, kinder in our words and more helpful with our hands. In order for the truth to help us in our lives, we have to actively apply the word…

Would You Listen to the Word of God?
Image © 2011, Timothy Lee. Used with permission. Amos 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: The Bible says that there will come a time when man will not want to hear the word of God (2 Timothy 4:2). They will go for teaching that will scratch their backs and soothe their consciences. Israel was just as irresponsible to the Word of God in the times just before the invasion of Assyria. Is it not interesting that just before the coming of the Rapture and the tribulation,…
