FROM OUR HEARTS December 2011 This is the time of year when it is a particularly good time to be reflectively thankful. As Scriptures declare, Eph 5:20 (NIV) always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Maturity, a Key to Enriching MarriagesMaturity is best defined in the emotional realm as unselfishness. I am sure we could recall time when our kids have played up because he/she could not have one’s way. What do they do? Well, some kids ended up wailing, stomped the floors etc. When the kids do that they are revealing their selfishness or immaturity especially when they are much older in age.

The Scriptures encourage us to cry out for wisdom (Prov 2:1-6) for we desperately need wisdom if we are to live our lives and serve God effectively. Wisdom is the ability to work out what is right, what is true combined with good judgment.It is crucial for us to better understand that wisdom has many components.

The past 2 months have been a hectic time as I participated in various conferences. In late August I spoke at our European Leaders Conference in London. It was a wonderful opportunity to interact with our leaders across Europe and to hear their heartbeat for the Great Commission. It amazes and encourages me that we have many leaders who are eager to launch forth to start new churches across

Personal Growth article this week:The Test of Maturity is CharacterDo you desire to grow in spiritual maturity? Today, we will read a short devotion by Ps Rick Warren and more importantly, reflect upon your own life and start being a doer of the God's Word!

Devotional By Rick Warren (Daily Hope)"Do not merely listen to what the word says and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says." James 1:22 (NIV)James says it is self-deception when we don't merely listen to God's Word and don't let it change us. We think that just gaining knowledge makes us spiritually mature. The test of maturity is not knowledge. The test of maturity is character. A lot of

Marketplace article this week:How Deceit Destroys"What they don’t know won’t hurt them." Sometimes that old cliché is right and sometimes it’s wrong, but invariably he found the one that it did hurt was himself. He felt guilt and a loss of honor each time. When he became a Christian, he naturally assumed such weaknesses would never tempt him again, especially as he became more familiar with

(Emphasis added by Inside Hope Editor)When reading a familiar passage in Matthew 13, one might stop and reflect on what the Lord said in verse 22: that the deceitfulness of wealth chokes out God’s Word. Is wealth deceitful (misleading), or is it just a simple tool used in deception? Obviously, the answer is that material possessions are not problems themselves; they are the reflection of problems

Just about a week and half ago, we celebrated Father’s Day in most parts of the world. It is true that fathers are greatly needed in the life of the family. God has designed the family to have a father and a mother. Each parent has a unique function in the home. God has also called the children to honour their fathers and fathers. It is aptly brought up in Ephesians 6:1-3 that says, “

Marketplace article this week:Fearing The FutureWe live in a materialistic society and generally base our priorities on desires and wants, rather than on needs. The perspective of what is actually a need is often clouded by what our materialistic society says we need.

No, this has nothing to do with horoscopes, but many Christians make financial decisions based on fear of the future, instead of trust that God will provide for them.Fear of the future can cause families to forfeit the blessings of God, because they base decisions on the latest headline or stock market report.

Personal Growth article this week:The Root Of Worship When we worship, the first thing we are asked to do is to take into account the mercies of God. We are to have an "attitude of gratitude" toward His mercies. So the question that we need to ask ourselves is, "Do the mercies of God ever cease to exist?" And obviously the answer is NO! Lamentations 3:22-23 states, "The faithful love of the Lord

by Russell Henderson(emphasis by Inside Hope Editor)One of my favorite passages on worship is Romans 12:1, and I believe that this verse gives us a true definition of what it really means to worship. Let's read this verse from the NIV and the Amplified Bible. Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your

Family article this week:A spiritual, emotional and social legacy is like a three-stranded cord. Individually, each strand cannot hold much weight. But wrapped together, they are strong.

by J. Otis Ledbetter, Kurt BrunerNo matter who we are, where we live, or what our goals may be, we all have one thing in common: a heritage. That is, a social, emotional and spiritual legacy passed on from parent to child. Every one of us is passed a heritage, lives out a heritage, and gives a heritage to our family. It's not an option. Parents always pass to their children a legacy … good, bad

by Charles StanleyMost believers desire to share their faith with others. But one common obstacle to personal evangelism is the time it takes for God to move an unbeliever to saving faith.

How to know if you’re moving too fast.Luke 10:38–42; Proverbs 14:29By JOHN ORTBERG1. Speeding up. You are haunted by the fear that you don’t have enough time to do what needs to be done.

Children are a blessing from God. God has given to parents, spiritual leadership and responsibility over their children. Though we are imperfect parents, yet the Lord would encourage us to be praying parents, relying upon Him; Him being the Perfect Father who loves us and desires to guide us as we raise up our children.Psalms 25:14 reminds us that “The Lord confides in those who fear Him, He

In this month of June, as we focus on the theme of “Pass the Baton”, I would like to take the opportunity to appreciate a special group of people in our church. And these are our spiritual mentors. The task that they take to mentor others within our church is a valuable spiritual role.The spiritual advice, guidance, and encouragement that they provide can make a significant difference to

It excites me no end when I find those who are eager to learn. When my children come to me and ask me to teach them how to cook, or to do weeding in the garden, or anything useful, it gives me joy. In the same way, when I see others who are eager to get involved, to participate and to contribute, it excites me.I am sure God feels the same when He sees His children get excited about learning and

How can we assist our kids to make good and wise decisions? Some parents have had good success in this matter whilst others have had stressful moments of their own! Like anything in life, decision making requires training and practise. As the Bible reminds us in Proverbs 22:6 says “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.”Part of the issue is this: some

Over a week ago, Lai Ling and I were privileged to speak at Hope Kuching’s camp. It was a wonderful time with over 400 delegates from this church and some surrounding daughter churches. We were touched by the sincerity of the people’s faith and their commitment, particularly amongst the families. There were many members in their 50s to even 70s who came for the many sessions and were eager to

When Jesus arrived, He polarised His hearers into those who admired and those who despised Him. When John the Baptist came on the scene, his unusual lifestyle got tongues wagging. He spoke out against the unrighteous lifestyle of King Herod that no one else dared to speak of. Wherever Paul the Apostle went, he either caused a revival or riot.

Acts 10:1 - 2 (NIV) At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment. He and all his family were devout and God–fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly. Here was a man who was not a Jew but a follower of God. One key evidence of his faith was his giving. For true disciples will give generously. Why is that?
