The Need
Image © 2010, Timothy Lee. Used with permission Isaiah 6:8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? 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
Image courtesy Faraz Khan. Image hosted on Flickr Acts 8: 30-31 And Philip … said, Understandest thou what thou readest? And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? 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…

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,…

The Word of God – The Final Authority
Image © 2011, Timothy Lee. Used with permission. John 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. The Lord Jesus’ ministry can be characterized by conflicting receptions: some believed on Him, some did not. Some welcomed Him and His teachings at the expense of their own lives. Many lost their lives because they believed in the Lord Jesus. Yet others welcomed Him but kept their faith secret. Nicodemus was one man who kept his faith hidden. Yet there were others who outrightly (either passively or actively) rejected the…

Looking Forward to 2012
Image © 2011, Timothy Lee. Used with permission. Joshua 1:2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. The plan of God for the children of Israel is to move away from Egypt and into the Promised Land. Now that Moses is dead, the Lord is commissioning Joshua to take the people of Israel to fulfill His plan for them. The plan of God for us, as the children of God, is to move away further and further away from the image of this world to…

God is Love
Image © 2011, Timothy Lee. Used with permission. 1 John 4:8 …for God is love Anyone wishing to know the depth of God’s love needs to understand the seriousness and terribleness of sin. Sin destroys, creates lusts and hatred and causes divisions! It cuts down innocency, increases selfishness, and causes a destruction of relationships, families, friendships and all things lovely. When God looked down from Heaven, He saw two things The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that … seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not…

The Way to a Prosperous and Victorious Course
Image © 2011, Timothy Lee. Used with permission. Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth…for then thou shall make thy way prosperous… God tells Joshua that because Moses is dead, there is no one else that Joshua can turn to, rely on, or fall back on in the task that he is going to be given but Him. He goes on to promise that as He was with Moses, Jehovah is with him now. This is the commitment, promise and assurance to Joshua. Joshua’s task was to complete the conquest of Canaan and to fulfill God’s promise to Israel and to give them…

The Reward of Christ
Image courtesy Mike McCune. Revelation 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. Every athlete starts off with the motivation of the gold medal. Every training session, every correction by the coach and every attempt in the selected event is an effort to improve oneself for the time of victory, of crowning and of glory. Every athlete looks forward to the time where his name is announced and they walk up the podium to collect the price. It is the same with the Lord Jesus Christ. He tells us to be occupied till He comes, to…

Finish the Course
Acts 20:24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. Paul had a call from God. At the time of his salvation, God already willed in His plan to use Paul for an important mission unrevealed in the Old Testament: that of adding the Gentiles to the church of God. It was to be difficult to break new ground and change the mindsets of the Jews. Paul was to go through terrible hardships and…
