The Undeserved Became The Deserving
Why the Gibeonites, the cursed and undeserved group eventually became deserving? Because they had come to Israelites, with fear, humility and trembling knowing that Israelite's God is truly the one and only God. We often use our judgment to perceive others, thinking that they will never understand what you believe. But the Word says share the gospel to the ends of the world, for the deserving ones will respond. Have you become the stumbling block of gospel? Blessed are you who can listen and believe in the gospel, for your salvation is purely by grace of God. One who has received much, will share abundantly of the good news he receives, and he will also realize that the purpose in life is none other than world evangelism. We have heard the truths many times. We have heard sermons after sermons in church and from the website. However, if one does not intentionally seek out the person of Christ of what he has heard through prayers with God, it will not give birth to the right spirit. May the Lord restore the right spirit inside us as we seek Him in our prayers, nailing our pride, worldly and convenient thinking on the cross repeatedly. May His heartbeat becomes ours.

Redefining Greatness <Mt 18:1-9>
We all love to be someone great. Even if we are not the ambitious type, we also do not hope to be someone small and who is looked down upon. The question is, is it wrong to desire greatness? All parents will want to raise their kids to be someone great and useful; teachers hope their students will make it big; even we ourselves will want to ‘feel great’ to a certain extent. So what was Jesus’ answer to His disciples, who also aspired to be great? In <Mt 18:1-9>, Jesus redefined what greatness is. He highlighted that to be great is to accept a lowly position, and He also taught His disciples how to practice humility practically. Jesus’ words to His disciples are also His teaching for us today.
