Don't Trust Money

Life will have its issues and money is not the solution. Most of the time we think that if we only had the money then everything will be okay. But that is hardly the case. Trusting in money is like putting your hopes on weak foundation, it will cave in. Believing that your money will carry you through will just lead you to wrong priorities and can even lead to self destruction.


Money is a utility we use and we have need of it. But life is not about getting all the money so you can live happily ever after. No, life is not at all like that. The fact is, money will NOT always be there. No matter how hard you wish for money to always be there, it will not always be there. That's why you cannot trust money. Even the banks run out of money. The ATM machines run out of money. Financial institutions can collapse!

Don't count on your money. Don't lean on it. Some people have fallen into the deception that money is all they need and so they steal, they plunder, they rob, and swindle. The most successful robbers don't need to go to the counter and point a gun. They have more sophisticated means.

The truth of the matter is, whether you have the money or not, the issues of life will always be there. It's because God has created us to be contingent on Him. He created us for Himself, to be in relationship with Him, to be one with Him, and not for us to be consumed together with all the temporary pleasures that we can experience in this temporary life.

When life gets tough, what we need is the enabling grace of God to see us through the hard times, and He will.

A New Creation

2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. A very simple yet so profound truth that we must not forget: we are new creations in Christ. We are not the person that we were before we came to know Christ. We are a new person, a new creature in Christ. This is very foundational and very, very important. Many Christians tend to dwell on the Cross. They stay there and never want to be removed from there because the Cross meant the forgiveness of sins. And that is true. But the very purpose of the Cross was not the forgiveness of sins, but rather, to condemn sin. A Christian is not a sinner saved by grace as some denominations teach. And that phrase, sinner saved by grace, is never really found in the Bible. A Christian is not a sinner. We were sinners before we became Christians, but when we became Christians, we put on the new man. Religion would tell you that you are not worthy, how that you are ...

Evolution

As I drive through the streets of Doha, a curious detail keeps drawing my gaze: the kaleidoscope of car side mirrors—even for something so functional, each one looks different—some round, some square, some with tiny LED lights, others with that classic chrome finish. They’re all mirrors, yet each bears its own unique style. I can almost imagine not knowing anything about how cars are made and thinking… “Car evolution?” Could these variations have evolved themselves? It’s a silly—and amusing—thought. Of course, car manufacturers deliberately design these parts with purpose. Engineers and designers craft each mirror to suit a certain need or aesthetic. And then it hit me: our lives are much like those designs. Just as each mirror varies in design and purpose, God shapes us uniquely. No two paths—or people—are identical, and He doesn’t mass-produce faith or life. We are each intentionally designed. So, if you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite fit the mold, remember—you're not a manufa...

The Operation of God

Col 2:12  Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. The word operation was translated from the Greek:   G1753 ἐνέργεια energeia en-erg'-i-ah From G1756; efficiency (“energy”): - operation, strong, (effectual) working. This gives us an idea of what goes on in the spirit realm when a person comes to Christ. The Scripture says, we are risen with Him through the faith of the operation of God... the energy... the effectual working of God.  Here is what happens in the spirit realm, believers are risen from the dead by this energy - the effectual working of God. And it is made to pass through the faith of this energy. Now, this clearly tells us that this is not Man's faith, it is God's faith.  Notice the first part of this Scripture. It says, Buried with Him in baptism. This is where Man's faith is in operation. Baptism is the answer of a good conscience toward God. The a...
