Remnant Who Long For Christ

What do we understand by the word "remnant"? Essentially, remnant refers to the minority who stands out from the majority because they turn to God. While they have the favour of God because God is on their side, but because of that, they also face the opposition of the world, i.e. the majority of the people, the currents of the world. If you are a remnant, are you prepared to take the 2 fold outcomes of being one? And how to you find strength in this path of faith? That is through fellowship with remnants. As the gospel of Christ is preached, it exposes the hearts of men and distinguish the remnants vs the non-remnants, because the truth of God is an open provocation to the hidden rebellion. While painful when exposed, the ones who are brought to contriteness, humility and thus greater need for God will be revealed, and that is also the moment when the power of Holy Spirit will be greatly experienced. And indeed, a remnant is one who lives in this empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

To Be Winners of Sinners <Mt 18:15-20>

We have a tendency to desire winning people’s approval, or winning people in terms of performance, wealth, popularity, etc. However, how often have we thought of winning sinners over to God? The heart of God is for His people to turn to Him. That is precisely the role of His church on earth, for the Christian community is to offer collective strength and guide to God’s beloved people. Yet, often, in dealing with sinners, the church is caught up with the tension of being either too judgmental and harsh, or being too soft on correcting a sinner and directing him/her toward repentance. How should the church balance God’s love and righteousness; care and correction? This message from <Mt 18:15-20> offers some principles in dealing with sinners and winning them over.
