The Good News

  T he only good news that we ought to know and remember is that Jesus Christ had already won the war against sin and death.  He has made it possible for us to join Him in the afterlife.  All we need now to do is accept Him as He is.  God is alive today and it may be sometimes be difficult to see this.  The world and its demonic nature has still made it look like that only worldly things matter and that the ultimate goal of each one is to achieve their own personal happiness.  This is the biggest lie of all, that we should do all to make us happy. Individual happiness at the expense of someone else is the biggest deception of all. The truth is, our lives are never really about us.  It is ultimately about God and about others.  It is about how you can provide and give joy even at our own expense. This is the model of ultimate and genuine love that Jesus shown us at the cross. "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s frie...

Bible verse for the day, 8th August 2023 - Jesus walks on water

 


After he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, but the boat by this time was many furlongs distant from the land, beaten by the waves; for the wind was against them. And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, saying, “It is a ghost!” and they cried out for fear. But immediately he spoke to them, saying, “Take heart, it is I; have no fear.”

Matthew 14:22-36


Not sure if you have already watched a series called the Chosen but if you haven't yet I do recommend that you do.  It is free to view in their The Chosen app.  They did a very marvelous portrayal of Jesus and of the chosen people that were with Him during His time on Earth.  Before, watching the chosen, I have had a hardened heart, filled with anger and hate and it was difficult for me to cry.  After watching the Chosen, I don't know but each episode, God melts my heart and I swell up in tears every time and now I am in my journey to knowing Jesus a whole more.

On the last episode of season 3, they did a scene of this part of the Bible.   Here's one of the Youtube videos of that clip c/o johnhiltoniii

The Gifts of the Holy Spirit: A Pathway to Divine Fulfillment

The concept of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, as outlined in the New Testament, is a profound testament to the intricate and transcendent relationship between humanity and the divine. These gifts are not merely symbolic tokens; they are transformative powers that enable individuals to transcend their ordinary limitations and align themselves with a higher purpose. To truly grasp the magnitude of these gifts, one must delve into their biblical foundations and understand their psychological and spiritual implications. In 1 Corinthians 12:7-11, the Apostle Paul provides a detailed enumeration of these gifts: “To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish betwee...

The Poisonous Emotion: Unraveling the Deadly Sin of Envy

  In the complex world of human feelings, envy can be a harmful emotion, eating away at individuals with its pervasive and resentful desire for others' belongings, qualities, or successes. This distorted form of admiration and inspiration can have a damaging impact, causing harm to relationships, creating resentment, and eroding one's character. By delving into biblical teachings and self-reflection, we aim to decipher the complex nature of envy, examining its roots, symptoms, and spiritual repercussions. The Bible offers profound insights into the nature and consequences of envy. In the book of Proverbs, King Solomon warns, "A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones" (Proverbs 14:30) . This vivid imagery underscores the corrosive effects of envy on both physical and spiritual well-being. Like a cancer that eats away at the bones, envy consumes individuals from within, leaving them hollow and embittered. Moreover, the New Testament issues stern ...
