Clear Doubts And Enter The Kingdom Vigorously
Doubts can damage our relationship and journey with God. Even John the Baptist had doubts. He sent his disciples to ask Jesus, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?” Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor. Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.” When we are in doubt, we should be like John and seek clarification from God, instead of running away from God. Despite John's doubts, Jesus testified for him, and pointed to the greater new covenant.

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.
