 Know God and Experience His Love (June 16, 2023) 

“He who does not love does not know God for God is love.” (1 John 4:8) 

I am thankful every day that my God, the one true God who created the universe and you and me in His own image is a God of love! In fact, He first loved us so dearly and deeply that He gave Himself as a sacrifice for our sins so that we can have everlasting life. There are many people and things of this world that I love, but no one or nothing above God. Jesus Christ is my first love and highest priority. Because I love God wholeheartedly, I seek to express my adoration through humble service to Him and other people to His honor and glory! 

To know our LORD personally through a faith-based relationship with Him is to love Him and desire to know Him better, in a closer, more intimate way. That is why it is vitally important to be still and spend quiet time in prayer, meditation on His Word, and fellowship with Him daily. The better I know Him and the more I experience His grace and love, the more I want to share it with others and make Him known to them. I find matchless comfort in knowing that while worldly things soon pass away, from God’s incomprehensible love, believers can never be parted!

  “For surely there is a hereafter, and your hope will not be cut off.” (Proverbs 23:18) Bidding farewell to a challenging year and welcoming with hope a new one, I thank God for His presence, His peace, and His power in my life as a Christian. Even in times of suffering and hardship, the followers of Jesus Christ know by faith that God is in control and working all of the circumstances of our lives for ultimate good because we love Him and seek to express it through trusting obedience and humble service. Our hope in the New Year and eternally is in Christ!    In the New Year let us seek to be faithful stewards of the precious time and the valuable resources that the LORD has entrusted to us to invest in the expansion of His heavenly kingdom. In the inexhaustible strength and all-sufficient grace of an Almighty God, we can hopefully and confidently face the uncertainties of 2023 and claim eternal victory in Christ the LORD, our trustworthy Savior, who, living in us, is ou...

  A Lesson in Loyalty ( November 20, 2025) “ Through  the  Lord ’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are  new every morning; great  is  Your faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:22-23) One admirable quality that is increasingly disappearing from human relationships of the 21 st century is loyalty, faithfulness to each other and to God. In today’s faithless culture, people tend to shun long-term commitments, especially in marriage and the family. In a materialistic, self-centered, and immoral world, we need to be careful where our loyalties and allegiances lie. As Christians who’ve been commanded to be witnesses of God’s boundless love and saving grace, we must make sure our lives speak of our loyalty and faithfulness to Christ despite Satan’s ceaseless attempts to persuade us to go the way of the world. A biblical lesson in loyalty is the story of Ruth, the Moabite daughter-in-law of the Jewish woman Naomi. Becaus...

  The Perfect Gifts ( May 26, 2023)  “ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” (James 1:17) Christians should rejoice and be thankful daily that our Father in Heaven is the divine source of every good and perfect gift we receive! In fact, God the Father has richly blessed each of us as saints, sinners saved by grace, with the most perfect gifts we will ever receive—His Son and His Spirit! Our heavenly Father has freely given us His best because of His boundless love for us! “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) Through faith in His Son Jesus Christ, God has extended to all believers the unmerited favor of His grace and the undeserved reward of everlasting life. The most glorious gift ever bestowed, Jesus gave His life to bear the burden of ou...
