God’s Omnipresence

God is “Omnipresent.” This means God is present everywhere and at all times. No matter how mortal man may think or try, he cannot escape the presence of Almighty God. It is absolutely impossible. The ‘all-seen eye’ of God and His inescapable presence ever abides with His people. God’s presence is undeniably inescapable. King David wrote the following psalm in which he asks God: “Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the […]

Jesus is born

The Bible says, “Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. She shall bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus for he will save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:18,21).  “Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his […]

Reconciliation

In Christian theology, the word “reconcile” means “to change throughly.” The Christian’s reconciliation was accomplished by the Lord Jesus Christ in His shed blood and death on the Cross. The apostle Paul declares, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself” (2 Corinthians 5:17-19). Reconciliation, in its various forms, occurs several times in the Pau’s letters to the various Churches. He […]

The Holiness of God

God is absolutely holy. His name is holy. His Word is holy. Holiness is one of God’s divine attributes. And it means God is righteous and perfect in all His ways and He is completely worthy to receive glory, honor, and power. “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created” (Revelation 4:11).   God is the One who is high and lifted up—eternal in heaven. Our eternal God is above everyone and everything. He has no earthly equal. “For thus says the One who is high and lifted […]

Standing Still

“Now therefore stand still and see this great thing which the LORD will do before your eyes” (1 Samuel 12:16). One of the essential disciplines of the Christian life is waiting on God. And God’s timing is always perfect. In general, many of us don’t like to wait for anything. We want everything immediately if not sooner. Because people assign themselves to eat and drink in a hurry, there are many “fast food” restaurants that cater to this requirement. Also available are instant coffee, instant tea, instant soup, instant dessert. Companies realize the ongoing need for quick services hence their availability […]

Why Fear?

“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10). These are certainly very comforting and assuring words from Almighty God. This verse is both a command and a promise from God to His children. His sustaining love, mercy, and grace are guaranteed to be with us, therefore, we have nothing to fear. Fear is a lack of courage and inspiration, and it allows doubt and skepticism to get the better of us.  According to Webster’s dictionary, “Fear is the […]

The Local Church

It cannot be over-emphasized that the Church is not a building, a tent, or a home. On the contrary. The Church is the “Ekklesia,” which literally means a “called out group” or an “Assembly” of “born-again” Christians who have placed their faith in the shed blood, death, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.  The Church is the “body” or the “bride” of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible explains that “Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without […]

A Name above all names

“Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the father” (Philippians 2:9-11).  Most of us have heard the phrase, “What’s in a name.” Studies have revealed that names play a significant role in peoples’ lives. Parents give their new-borns names that will stick for life. Some people feel that their names define them and does affect their […]

Is preaching the Gospel old-fashioned?

I chose this topic for a very important reason. Based on my keen interest in the gospel, it is evident that some preachers are not specifically preaching about sin and repentance as they should. The gospel is and always has been “that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:3,4). Also, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). Any truly “born again” believer […]

Why is forgiveness important?

The Bible is replete on the subject of forgiveness. Our greatest example of forgiveness is the Lord Jesus Christ. While on the Cross, Jesus prayed to God, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34). Divine forgiveness is an attribute of God. In the “model” prayer the Lord Jesus taught His disciples, it says in part, “Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors” (Matthew 6:11,12). The death of Jesus on the Cross was required by God to forgive man’s sins in order for him to be reconciled to God.
