Knowing God
Hey friends. Did you know the Bible gives a one sentence description of eternal life? It does in John 17:3. This is how it reads in the New International Version Bible: […]
New Life
Easter Sunday is tomorrow. It commemorates the day over 2000 years ago when the Savior of the world, the Lord Jesus Christ arose from the grave, conquering sin and death forever and ushering in new life for all who will place their faith in His finished work on Calvary’s cross. […]
Where Is Your Faith?
If you read in the gospel of Luke, chapter 8, verses 22 through 25 of the Bible, you will find the question in the subject line of this post. It was asked by Jesus, the Lord Christ, of His disciples. I believe it is the most important question of life.
Let me quote the entire passage below found in Luke 8: 22-25 (NIV Bible):
((22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set out. 23 As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.
24 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!”
He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. 25 “Where is your faith?” he asked his disciples.
In fear and amazement they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him.”))

The end must be worthy of my faith. It is the object of my faith that matters. The object of my faith must be able to deliver.
I share my heart for stewardship in my book as it reflects my thanksgiving to Christ who Has delivered me from drowning. I believe in no prosperity doctrine where God will make me financially well off if I follow Him. For me, that is heresy.
No, my faith […]
Spiritual Wealth
Last week, I talked about the importance of investing in wealth-building businesses over pursuing momentary profits. If I’ve been successful at my stock investments such that my portfolio reflects more wealth, it can bring a certain sense of security, financially speaking. One need only consider several years back during the recession-beaten stock market of 2008 and 2009 to see how tenuous material possessions are, though, and that they cannot provide lasting peace. […]
