If Jesus, as the perfect and sinless man, needed to live on His Father’s every word, how much more do we who are fallen, sinful human beings?! Consider Jesus’ famous words in Matt. 4:4, “Man shall not live on bread alone but on every word that proceeds out through the mouth of God.” We may

One of the best ways a Christian can contact and enjoy God is to pray-read His Word. In John 6:63, the Lord Jesus told us His words are spirit and are life. Thus, if we want to contact the Spirit and to receive life, we need to come to God’s Word. This is the best

In a previous post, “What’s the real significance of prayer?”, I pointed out that real prayer is to contact God in our spirit and to absorb God Himself. Prayer is our spiritual breathing (John 20:22) and drinking (4:15). But if we’re going to enter into this significance of prayer in order to absorb God, we need

When I was a child, I was always taught to be good, to do the right thing–never to lie or steal and to always clear up my wrong doings. I do thank God for my parents and for such an upbringing; it really preserved me. So growing up, I tried my best to be right

You know you’re a “believer.” But have you ever found it difficult to present what you believe to someone else? It’s not as simple as you may think. And I’m not talking about presenting just any Bible teaching. I’m talking about presenting those crucial truths in the Bible that form the essential content of our Christian
