Sayings

 Bill Hybels writes, ‘If the request is wrong God says “No”. If the timing is wrong God says “Slow”. If you are wrong God says “Grow”. But if the request is right and the timing is right and you are right, God says “Go”.’

Winston Churchill said: “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”

God is so generous and kind. He gives us so much. A ‘talent’ was a huge sum of money – probably equivalent to twenty years’ wages. Even the person with one talent was given so much. In the parable, the talent represents not only your money but your gifts, skills, time, energy, education, intellect, strength, influence and opportunities.
Be faithful with whatever you have been given. It is no good wishing that you had been given more. You are simply called to do the best you can with what you have.
Use it For Him, By Him, To Him and With Him.

Man says: Death - that's it.
God says: Death will be swallowed up in victory – prophesy.

Man says: Why would God have the Jonah and big fish story in the Bible?
God says: Jesus believed it predicted His resurrection.

Man says: It would be easier to accept the resurrection with other examples.
God says: Many other bodies did it!

Man says: People in the Old Testament didn't believe in the resurrection.
God says: Moses did! Job did.

Man says: Maybe Christ's resurrection was a vision. Did anyone touch him?
God says: Jesus had His disciples touch Him.

Man says: It would be impressive if Jesus predicted he would resurrect. God says: He did.

Man says: I don't believe anyone lives beyond death.
God says: Jesus says we DO.

Man says: There's no proof Jesus came back from the dead.
God says: Jesus appeared for 40 days.

Man says: Once you're dead, you're dead. It's impossible to beat death.
God says: It's impossible for Jesus to stay dead

Man says: Hey, Jesus did exist. Then he died. End of story.
God says: Paul saw Him!

Man says: What did Saul, the Christian killer, decide about the resurrection?
God says: His main point was Jesus rose from the dead.

Man says: What does the resurrection prove anyway?
God says: That we can be accepted by God.

Man says: I believe in Christ. I don't however believe he came back from the dead.
God says: If He didn't we're lost.

Man says: I'm a Christian, but death and hell still scare me.
God says: Don't be afraid, Jesus is risen indeed!

God rewriting life stories

God rewriting life stories Reference Ps 18:20-24 Psalm 18:20–24 (The Message) captures David’s reflection on how God restored and renewed his life when he fully surrendered to Him. In Eugene Peterson’s paraphrase, the language feels vivid and personal—more like a heartfelt testimony than a formal psalm—showing how God restores, remakes, and redefines those who turn to Him. Amen. "God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to His eyes" is perhaps the most powerful image here. It shows that when David welcomed God into his innermost being, God transformed his story—redeeming it, reshaping it, and giving it new meaning and purpose. Hallelujah!  David says God “made my life complete” when he laid everything before Him, and that God “rewrote the text” of his life. This language highlights honest surrender, repentance, and the experience of being restored by God. 2 Corinthians 5:17 makes the same basic claim in a more compact form: “if anyone is in Chris...

I will Bless the Lord

I will bless the Lord, at all times...  Reference: Ps 34:1 - I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. One of the most important attitudes we can embrace in life is making it a habit to bless Him continually. I use the word “lifestyle” on purpose—it’s not just for when we feel like it, but also for when we don’t, because it’s essential. It’s not only about what we do, but who we are.  David’s steady commitment was clear in his words. He received countless blessings from the Lord even before he became well-known. Before everyone knew his name, the Lord knew him for his constant praise and gratitude. Out in the fields, tending sheep in the green pastures, he would sing, dance, and bless the Lord. That was David's preparation to the bigger assignments.  Verse 4 from this chapter really spoke to me: I sought the Lord, trusting in His word, and He answered me, delivering me from all my fears. So, I bless the Lord—Amen, Hallelujah. He...

Real battle, Different rules

Real battle, different rules Refer 2 Cor 10:3-6- NIV- For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds . 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete. Paul's tone changes sharply in 2 Corinthians 10. After pleading gently for generosity toward the poor, he turns to face his critics, and he is no longer soft-spoken. They claimed he was bold on paper but timid in person, a man who threatened discipline from a distance and would never dare follow through face to face. In short, they questioned whether he had the apostolic authority he claimed. Paul's answer was to describe his ministry as spiritual warfare. The world is unprinciple...
