Thy Word

Today, we embark on a new series in commemoration of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is traditionally celebrated on December 25.

Christ was given all power and authority both in heaven and in earth and He delegated the same to His Church. Today, God reminds us that there are consequences when we neglect to exercise that authority.

Unlike the religious instructions that are void of life and inspiration, we must learn and apply Jesus’ teaching as it carries the weight of divine wisdom and insight.

Today, God invites us to anchor our lives on the foundation of His enduring truth, rather than the fleeting sands of worldly treasures and pleasures.

Today, God challenges us that a true relationship with Christ always has a seal, and that seal is not just our words, but our actions.

Regardless of what we say or how we explain, people will always know whether we’re children of God or not by the types of fruits we produce.

Every one of us has been a victim of something fake, and God warns us that even in the Church of Christ fake prophets are inevitable.

In the contemporary world where ‘liberalism’ and ‘pop culture’ present us with warped value systems, beliefs, norms, behaviors and worldviews, God challenges us to say ‘No’ and swim against the tide if we’re to avoid losing our souls.

Contrary to what religion might have taught us, persistence is not about forcing God to act but rather an act of faith and humility, acknowledging our complete dependence on God’s Providence.

In our contemporary society where people easily quit and tend to have absolutely no sense of purpose, God challenges to be deliberate and persistent ‘hunters’ of what we desire from life.
