We Never Graduate from the Gospel

Are you bored with the Gospel? Do you feel like you know the Gospel enough? Watch the video clip down below.

Is the Gospel only about going to Heaven? Is the Gospel only about escaping Hell? Listen to what Piper has to say in this video clip down below

What is the scope of the Gospel? Do I need every day? Do I need to listen all the time? When do I graduate from the Gospel?

Let’s ask Piper, one of the most passionate preachers alive now. . .

Cultivating Godliness

“And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” – Hebrews 10:24-25 (KJV)

Summarize in a Word: Cultivating Godliness

Key Principle: Church is necessary for all believers

Key Application: Never abandon the church

Main point of the Passage: We provoke one another to godliness in the church.

Illustration: Pastor John MacArthur urging a struggling woman to join a church.

Exhortation: Make friendship with more godly people. Talk, listen, and pray for one another.

Our Lord has called us into the church, which is his body. However, we do have a local church, a fellowship of believers. It is the institution build by Christ with a promise that “the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” There is no lone Christian outside the church. I remember listening to MacArthur urging a struggling woman to join the club (church) for sanctification and godliness. Where could we go than the church to cultivate godliness in our lives?

A Devotional Reflection of Scripture

Love expressed through Gifts

In this fallen world, there are times when we feel very disappointed because we are unable to understand people, especially dearly loved ones. We wish they understand us – how much we care for them, how much we love them or how much we value them – and our wishes hardly fulfilled. Sometimes we fear that people will misunderstand us, feel that we are insensitive and we wish that they would understand our in-depth nature or feelings. Why? It is because we cannot tell someone what reality really is! We find ourselves hapless to express it. We just ran out of words.

Can a Christian sin?

In the light of 1John 3:9, Can a Christian sin? How are we assured of our Salvation?

“Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.” – 1John3:9

 “just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.” – Eph.1:4-6

Watch the video clips below.  They are produced from different settings at different times. However, there is a connection between them concerning the struggles of the heart.

Can a Christian continue to live in sin?

How do I know if I'm saved?

Prayerful evangelism

“Pray also for me, that the message may be given to me when I open my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel.” – Ephesians 6:19 (HCSB)

Summarize in a Word: Prayerful evangelism.

Key Principle: The schemes of the devil are eerily daunting.

Key Application: Arm yourself with prayer supporters.

Main point of the Passage: Always soak in prayer for effective ministry.

Illustration: Apostle Paul in spiritual warfare.

Exhortation: Learn to share your prayer request with fellow Christians.

Gospel has been around the globe yet only a few are saved. Millions of people can articulate the gospel intellectually, yet with no effect to their souls. Indeed Gospel has the power to Salvation, but without the work of the Spirit, evangelism, ministry, everything is in vain.

BU (The Moon) - A poem in Rongmei

Lost phone in Delhi, found comfort in Christ!

Years ago, I lost my Phone (along with my precious Memory card and 2 SIMs). I was pickpocketed in the hustle and bustle of Delhi’s street. I remember myself walking silently to the metro station in deep thinking, why such a thing happened in the world. You know, there is nothing good to have lost anything. There is no reason for losing anything.

Can a woman take the role of Pastor in the Church?

Perhaps this century is the century of feminism. Even in India, we hear again and again about “Women’s Empowerment.” In America, we have seen the “Me Too” movement going very wild. Sad to say, even an influential denominational leader like Paige Patterson was hunted down by this “Me Too” movement.

Christians are called neither to be feminist nor to be chauvinist. God created us in His image, male and female. We have different roles as man and woman of God. It is an issue of “Role” and not “Competence.”

Christians are called not to be conformed to the world, but to be transformed by the word of God. We do not want to dictate our life by culture, but by Scriptures.
