Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

Godliness… Sincerity…
The term “Christian” was first used by unbelievers in Antioch on the disciples of Jesus Christ (Acts 11:25-26). Some believe that it was intended to be a derisive term.

James 1 : 25
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

In the Gospel of John, the Apostle John wrote to both believers of Christ, and unbelievers. He was addressing people who were very skeptical about Jesus, His words and deeds.

Similarly, we do not expect a fountain to send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter water (Jam 3:11). Continue reading “The Herald Weekly Vol XVII : 34”

Pray for our Government
Complaining is a Singaporean hobby. It is something we all do. We complain about the hot weather, food, bad service, the transport system, the COEs, the education system, the CPF and the Government. As Christians, we ought to stop complaining but to pray and give thanks (1 Thessalonians 5:18), looking at circumstances and things in God’s perspective.
