Daily Devotion

Jesus said, "If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves." (Luke 9:23 NRSV Bible) Many self-help books tell us that denial is good. Self-denial is the path to success. If you delay gratification, if you work hard, if you put your money into savings, if you wait to have your needs met until a time when you can afford it, if you cut down on your cholesterol and get plenty of exercise, then you can be successful. We all recognize the wisdom of that advice. To gain control over our desires--to subjugate them to some greater and...

New Car New Life

Reflecting on the choices of life.... i begin to understand that when you are unsure in life...things can get really messy and really hard. Recently, having to choose a new car to buy, i have to weigh the good and the bad... the worse thing was when you have more than one choice, and all the choices become available you start to see that it can really become confusing.Yesterday I made a decision, to choose the Euro Accord. Because of its resale value and because it is a limited release and would fetch a higher price if i were to sell it on the...

The choice of life

In recent weeks, I learned some important lesson which has been a great blessing to my life. I was in a dilemma as to which car I had to buy. It seems that finding something you want is really going to take some time and choices for each car, every car has its own pros and cons.I could choose the sporty cars like the Focus XR5 Turbo.... or the family car Euro Accord....but both are in the 30K region. .... or i could get a second hand nice sports car ... like the subaru... WRX.. Turbo has power.... Euro has style..... one have higher resale value...

Determining God's Will

Exerpts from a devotion i found...Christians sometimes find it difficult to determine God's will for their lives in certain situations. Times when you don't find a clear direction can be very confusing and frustrating. God gave Moses the burning bush, he showed his will to Gideon with the fleece, and he spoke to Saul with thunder and lightening. When he does this for us, it's easy to understand God's guidance. But he seldom does it this way. To truly find God's will for our life we often must step out in faith. This can be scary, but we need to...

Willing to be Used

A person of changeMatthew 9:14-16 14Then John's disciples came and asked him, "How is it that we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?"15Jesus answered, "How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while he is with them? The time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast16"No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse. 17Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will...

Joke of the Day

Why do we have a leap year (as in this year) and why is it in February? The issue of leap year and the weirdness of February is always worth looking at because, coming so infrequently, who can remember the explanation for it from the last time? The earth revolves around the sun every 365.24 days, not an even 365. That produces an extra day's worth of hours every four years. We could distribute them as a bonus to everyone--a one-day time-out every fourth year in which the clock is stopped and we stay in bed all day. But we don't. Instead...

The mind of a champion

Was listening to a sermon from Chuck Swindoll and was thinking about sports and competition. Somtimes as people we often see sports and competition as something nothing more than extra curricular activity. But looking back, I see that actually sports and competition often helps develop characteristics of the mind of champions.I think people who excel in sports and are leaders in their sports field or competition often if committed to Jesus would become great Christian.People who have been trained for competition would understand these verse and...

Do you still believe God even when you can't believe what just happened?

Taken from Weekly Bible Devotion -Do you still believe God even when you can't believe what just happened?When something really awful occurs, you may use the word "unbelievable" to describe it. During those times, even if what happened may have shaken your life, it is very important to maintain your faith. Circumstances are volatile, but God is never-changing—the solid rock.You can't depend on your outward surroundings; however, you can depend on God. That's the purpose of faith. Hebrews 11:1 describes faith as being sure of what we hope for and...

Made to Laugh

Recently I went to the Caversham Wild Life Park and got to see some interesting creatures. A couple of things stood out for me... one of course was this little Kookaburra. As I listened to this little bird, a thought came into my mind, does this bird know that it is being captured and put in a cage....Maybe it did, maybe it didn't .. i don't really know... what i know is it continue to sing its song and continue to what it was made to do - It was...

Judges : The constant training

Judges 2 21I from now on will also not drive out from before them any of the nations which Joshua left when he died.22That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the Lord to walk in it, as their fathers kept it, or not.23So the Lord left those nations, without driving them out at once, nor had He delivered them into Joshua's power.Judges 3 1NOW THESE are the nations which the Lord left to prove Israel by them, that is, all in Israel who had not previously experienced war in Canaan; 2It was only that the generations of...

Why did God cursed Canaan instead of Ham

Gen 9 :20-25 20 Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded [a] to plant a vineyard. 21 When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent. 22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father's nakedness and told his two brothers outside. 23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father's nakedness. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father's nakedness. 24 When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest...
