“The Bible stories are intentionally incomplete. Not all details are given. Not all stories are told or complete…We cannot demand that the Bible should have given us more details and stories. This is because we are currently struggling with the few we have. We have not exhausted studying and understanding the few that we have been given, how can we demand more? The few are sufficient for the biblical objectives to be fulfilled.”
“Solomon was wise and consequently the people under him and around him were happy. They were happy because he was just and righteous. He wasn’t paranoid and suspicious that every excellent person wanted to take his position. He wasn’t paranoid to constantly think that everything said and done was against him. When a leader is paranoid, people around him will be constantly accused of being traitors. Fear will reign. Paranoid parents will constantly accuse each other and accuse children. No happiness.”
“God gives wisdom generously to all. If anyone lacks wisdom, they should ask for it from God. Ask for it the way you ask for healing. Ask for it the way you ask for success in an exam. Desperately ask for wisdom…James 1:5 (NIV) – If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”
“God can save from any and every situation. Nothing is too difficult for God. Nothing is impossible with God. Therefore when things happen, it has to do with what God has done or not done. Any other reason is inconsequential.”
“Your relationship with God affects your school work, job, business, health, money, relationships, and your spiritual life. How you relate with God determines how peaceful and happy you will be. Good relationship good life, bad relationship bad life!”
“Any preacher worth their salt, must never stop at the problem and consequences. Scaremongering and fear mongering may be captivating but never our calling. We must offer a solution! Moses offered a solution!”
“After such a lesson, we still can’t believe that salvation is free. Therefore we ask questions to prove that good behavior is important. This is because we want it to be by merit. The simple and correct answer is that good works, good behavior in us is produced by the Holy Spirit in us AFTER SALVATION. It is not our efforts. Therefore you can’t brag about it nor present it as evidence that you are better than others. You realize that you are still the chief of sinners!”
“Saved from failure. Saved from losses. Saved from job loss. Saved from broken relationships. Saved from sickness. Saved from death. Saved from sin and hell. Saved from brokenness. Saved from bad people at home, around us and far away. Saved from toxic spouses, toxic bosses, toxic neighbors and scheming colleagues. Would it then be acceptable to have lame excuses for missing worship, communion and expression of gratefulness? Isn’t ungratefulness dangerous?”
“If we do not live just as God commanded, we are living in defiance of a holy God. How far can one go in defiance of God? Can worship be accepted if it is conducted in defiance of God? Will prayers be answered if they are made in defiance of God? Can life be successful and fulfilling if it is defiance of God? “
