  • Worn out by worry

    Worry is a common temptation for all of us. The source of the anxiety might vary from person to person, but no one is completely immune. For some, it’s even a favorite pastime, occupying large portions of their days by troubling over their doubts and fears about the future. Obsessing over those doubts and fears…

  • Testimony in Adversity

    About the three fiends of Daniel who chose not to bow before the image of King Nebuchadnezzar (Daniel 2), Don Carson writes: Their basic courtesy and respect are undiminished, however bold their words. They are completely unwilling to apologize for their stance. The wise believer never apologizes for God or for any of his attributes.…

  • The troubled king who found piece

    Nebuchadnezzar was a troubled man before he met Daniel and the living God. The king’s dream about the statue out of gold, silver, bronze and iron/clay really troubled him (Daniel 2).  He had to know what it means.  So he called in his wise men: magicians, enchanters, sorcerers and astrologers – more or less the…

  • God and time

    One of the most enigmatic questions of philosophy and theology relates to the nature of time. Was the universe created in time, or was it created along with time? Did time exist before creation, or did it come into being with creation? Most classical theologians affirm that time correlates with creation. That is, before matter…

  • The Lord has provided

    There is this very profound statement in 2Chronicles 3:1 “Then Solomon began to build the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord had appeared to his father David. It was on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, the place provided by David.” Hundreds of years earlier Mount Moriah is…

  • Our God is greater than all other gods

    David died with one desire unfulfilled:  he wanted to build a temple for the Lord.  God did not allow him to build it, because he was a man who had shed a lot of blood (1Chron 28:3).  He did prepare everything for the building of the temple and instructed his son Solomon to build it. …

  • New words for old sins

    It is interesting to hear new words everyday.  It is even more interesting to see how people can hide behind “political correctness” (whatever this word might really mean!) to use new words to describe old sins. It just sounds better with a bit of spin. If we have to believe the contributor to Wikipedia under…

  • A respected member of the family

    Listen to this story told by someone some time ago: “I remember the time when all of us, after the evening meal, gathered around the Word of God.  My father led us and read from the Holy Book. All of us got a chance to pray, and then, with reverence Dad would pray for the…

  • What kind of knowledge?

    Solomon declared:  “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” In other words, to fear the Lord and to know Him is the basis on which all other wisdom and knowledge is built. The simple fact that we live in God’s world makes this statement…
