Closer Day By Day

Luke 24

Bible Passage:  Luke 24 The last chapter of this gospel book.  We’ve been here many times.  What goes through your mind as you read today’s passage? As I was reading today, I could not help but think…. In the last chapter of Matthew, we hear the grand commission given by the Lord Jesus to His disciples… Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in...

Luke 23

Bible Passage:  Luke 23 I had already written my impressions on Luke 23 but what you are going to read now is a total new posting.  Last night Bro Daniel led the Hymn and Prayer Service and through the hymns once again reaffirmed our faith in God.  Indeed it seemed quite appropriate as he drew several references to Luke 22 (our bible reading passage yesterday) - where we were asked if we were ready...

Luke 22

As we read these final chapters about the ministry of our Lord, there are several things that we can ponder as we pass each day of our lives. For many of us who have been in the church for a long time, all the more we must keep a constant check on our relationship with the Lord. Bible Passage: Luke 22 Have We Taken Our Eyes Off Jesus? Living in a modern and trendy society, can we not be tempted...

Luke 21

Bible Passage:  Luke 21 How many different colours do you see in this picture? From the top left and bottom right areas, we see three distinct colours - green, white and pink. How about the line that runs from the bottom left to the top right of the picture diagonally across? Does it consist of a darker shade of green and the colour red? The entire picture comprises only the three colours which we...

Luke 19-20

Bible Passage:  Luke 19-20 It is natural to look at ourselves for a bit when we happen to catch our own reflections in any mirror - the car mirrors, mirrors in the lifts, mirrors along some walkways, mirrors in the toilets, a handy pocket mirror we carry, mirrors in the shoe shop or boutiques. Walk into any public toilet and the familiar sight of people preening in front of the mirror greets you. What...

Luke 17-18

Bible Passage:  Luke 17-18 ast night Brother Kong spoke about seriously reflecting on our life of faith as we lead our lives as Christian. And as I read today’s passage, I could not help but think that today’s passage reveals many areas in which we should really make an effort to consider where we stand.  Let me share with you some of the aspects of faith that I have to carefully examine...

Luke 15-16

Bible Passage:  Luke 15-16 Perhaps one of the most beautiful parables is the parable of the prodigal son. We can ask ourselves, are we like the younger or older son? Perhaps there is a bit of both in each of us. If we compare ourselves with the characters in the parable, we can indeed see ourselves. THE YOUNGER SON Many times we foolishly think that we can make it on our own without God’s grace. We...

Luke 13-14

Bible Passage:  Luke 13-14 In Luke 13:10-17, our Lord Jesus healed a woman who, attended church despite her infirmity. This woman came to Christ to be taught and then he healed her. This cure represents the work of Christ’s grace upon the soul. By the grace and mercy of God we are healthy and are able to attend church services. Coming for church is the least we can do, right? A few months back,...

Luke 12

Bible Passage:  Luke 12 Today’s bible reading passage is one we are all familiar with- Do not worry because God is our provider. Fearful for nothing And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?(v25) Trying to stop worrying is like trying to go to sleep. The more we work at it the more impossible it becomes. However, relief comes in acknowledging God who is greater than our...

Luke 11

Bible Passage:  Luke 11 In a world where packaging matters, people are frequently looking for new and fresh designs. This is especially so when it comes to things that we see or use daily. Don’t we get new packaging for the familiar cookies we’ve been munching on for years? And doesn’t it happen once in a while that the new designs pop up on the familiar coffee maker and washing...
