Overcoming Evil Through Actualization Of Our Faith
While Satan is merciless in his attacks on us, God permits his presence so that our hearts can be tested, falsehood uncovered, so much so that we can no longer rely on our ritualistic christian faith but to to empty all of our selves (I can, I will, I am able...) so that Christ power will work in us to lift us up, resulting in us becoming God-reliant instead of self-reliant. This is when the truth we have heard and confirmed become the strength in our hearts. When we actualise our faith, we become a relevant person to all around us. This is because one who is living by the Spirit will have the right heart to do everything God asks him to do, and people will be drawn to the living and active Christian faith they see in him Why are there fakes and falsehood in Christian living? Because believers did not actualise their faith, they merely ritualise their faith - Reverend Vincent Choo

How To Use Your Feelings For The Lord? <Ph 4:1-7>
If there is this one thing that the whole world would idolize and give attention to, it is the feelings that the human species is born with. And humans by nature legitimize their feelings. Yet, because of the sinful and imperfect world we live in, there is no way to protect our feelings without hurting that of others. Similarly, there is no way to move forward as a society, or as a church without some getting hurt. Inherently, we all love to feel good, and there is nothing wrong in wanting so, but what could be really wrong is if we just shut our spiritual mechanism, or stop testing or doing the will of God when we are feeling otherwise. Christ has come to redeem our feelings and emotions, and HE has given us the truth to master them. With that, let us learn to face the reality of our feelings and to use them rightly.
