THE ONE & ONLY WAY

Sometimes, in life, you find that there is only one way that leads to a particular destination. Taking a wrong way will not lead you there. There are times when you encounter a kind soul that direct you back to the right path and finally you reach your destination. However, sometimes, we may not have a second chance.

In the past, when people preach the gospel to me, I always told them that religion teaches people to do good. As long as I do good, I don’t need to believe in a God. But thank God, I still receive a second chance.

Many people know that God is love but not many know that God is holy and righteous. Being a holy God, he cannot tolerates sin and being righteous, the wages of sin is death. The soul that sinned, he must die. But God is love. How to satisfy His righteousness and holiness? His holiness and righteousness cannot allow him to close one eye and ignore our sins.

The Bible states clearly that without shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin. (Hebrews 9:22) Someone has to die on our behalf. Because of His holiness, God cannot just accept the death of anyone for your sin. The Bible tells us that God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16). Jesus is the only appointed way by God. Though He was tempted like anyone of us, yet He is without sin. He is the perfect sacrifice. God cannot accept any standard below what He has set. It is only by accepting Jesus that you are granted salvation.

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6).

New lawyer Darren Tan once spent 10 years in jail PUBLISHED IN ST ON AUG 25, 2014 11:47 AM

I love to hear testimonies of God's transforming works in a person's life.  It encourages me & I hope when I post it here, it encourages you too!    Mr Darren Tan with his proud parents - Mr Tan Chon Kiat and Madam Ong Ai Hock. The new lawyer changed the course of his life while he was behind bars.  BY CHANG AI-LIEN SENIOR CORRESPONDENT Darren Tan, 35, is finally a full-fledged lawyer. He reached that milestone yesterday when he was called to the Bar during a mass ceremony at Nanyang Technological University. It was a far cry from his shaky start in life when drugs and gang activities led to over 10 years behind bars and 19 strokes of the cane. "This is the culmination of what I've been working towards for the last 10 years," he told The Sunday Times. "It's like waking up from a dream and finding out your dream has become reality." His life of crime began at the age of 14, and he was in and out of prison for offences that ...

A eagle story

Got this story from an email and find it very meaningful. Please read on ... There is a story about a little eagle that fell out of its nest and landed in a turkey farm. The eagle grew up among the turkeys and, although he looked a bit different, he learned to waddle like a turkey, bob his head like a turkey, and act like a turkey. One day the young eagle looked up into the sky and saw a beautiful eagle soaring above. The little eagle in the turkey yard thought, Oh, I would love to be able to do that! As the eagle soared overhead, it looked down and saw the young eagle below. Suddenly it swooped down to the ground and asked, "What are you doing here?" The little eagle replied, "I am just here in the turkey yard where I have always been." The great eagle looked and said, "Spread your wings, boy. You do just what I do. Follow me." Then he flapped his wings and lifted off the ground. The young eagle tried it, too. "Wheeee! This is all right!" "...

Loving one another

1 John 4:20b. .. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. The above verse is a very good reminder.   We need to love not only in words but in deeds. Just visited a brother who was sick.  He could not come for the church meeting as his sickness has handicapped him.  But praise God, I saw the love of the brothers and sisters who take turn to care for him.  To fetch him to the meeting hall and also to read the bible with him.  By so doing, they have strengthened his faith. 1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 1 John 3:18 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. I have read from a blog on how to care for one another: First Thing Is Prayer If you really love your neighbor, the first thing you will do is pray for them. As a human you are li...
