Sound teaching, hard passages, prophecy, and errors to avoid.
“The one prayer is normally well thought out. The one prayer is made during occasions and ceremonies where we are focused and concerned about the present and future. That one prayer covers our core needs for the present and the future. Solomon highlights the one prayer and pleads with God not to forget it.”
“We all need mercy at some point in life. We may beg someone to show us mercy and the more we beg the more they cause us to suffer, because they enjoy our suffering. We may deserve the suffering, but we are now repentant. May God cause our captors, so to speak, to show us mercy…”
“This is not creating an excuse to continue sinning. This is not to make the sinning problem lighter. In fact this makes the problem worse than we ever thought. All of us are sinners and helplessly so. Even those of us who do not want to sin, we end up sinning against our wish. For there is no one who does not sin! Someone must save us from sin, we cannot save ourselves. Everyone willingly and unwillingly sins!”
“You can’t desire the promise and be mischievous when it comes to conditions. We must fulfill the conditions and God will keep the promises. Terms and conditions apply! … As we claim the promises of God, have we met the terms and conditions? For example- “forgive our trespasses as we forgive those who have trespassed against us.” Have we forgiven everyone who trespassed against us? We will not be forgiven unless we forgive others. Terms and conditions apply!”
“May we never forget how we prayed for a partner. May we never forget how we prayed to pass exams. May we never forget calling people to pray with them during job interviews. May we never forget how the business started and those God brought by our side. May we never forget that God was behind all these. When you make it, don’t forget how you made it!”
“What curiously catches our attention in this ordination ceremony, is when Moses applies blood on the right ear lobe, thumb of the right hand, and on the big toe of the right foot. What does this application of blood imply?”
“May our worship be acceptable before God and remain hated by the world. May the world remain offended by our worshipping and in this contrast see the uniqueness and be drawn to Christ. Save us from compromising our faith by seeking to please others. May our worship be…”
“In this view we are not alone. Wesley speaks as follows concerning the four and twenty elders: “‘Clothed in white raiment.’ This, and their golden crowns, show that they had already finished their course, and taken their places among the citizens of heaven. They are never termed souls, and hence it is probable that they had glorified bodies already. Compare Matthew 27:52.” “
“God tells Pharaoh that as your people suffer helplessly, mine will be safe secure and untroubled. God tells Pharaoh that beginning the next day, it will be clear who belongs to God and who doesnt. God can make a distinction!”
