Cornerstone

If you haven't heard this before, I hate to break it to you but it's THE TRUTH: Unless you have placed your trust and faith in Jesus Christ, you will die in your sins and face the eternal judgement of God!

Who is Jesus? Why did Jesus have to die? What does Jesus have to do with ME? If you are asking these questions, then my friend, this episode is meant for you! This Easter, I pray you will come to know Jesus Christ as YOUR Saviour and LORD!

Have you placed your trust and faith in Jesus OR are you still waiting for "evidence"?

What if I told you that you have been looking for the wrong kind of evidence all along?

In this episode, I share how the evidence for Jesus Christ is available in plenty and how you can spot it!

I pray this episode will be a blessing to you, that if you have yet to place your trust and faith in Jesus, may the Holy Spirit help open the eyes of your heart and mind and help you SEE the evidence and believe in Jesus!

Ravi Zacharias was a famous evangelist and respected by many Christians, UNTIL it came to light that was sexually assaulting women all the while he was in ministry. Christians shouldn't make this scandal all about themselves, rather, pray for those Ravi hurt and ask the Holy Spirit to deal with the sin in our own lives.

Truth is, ALL Christians sin. In this episode, I briefly share about what the Bible says about Christians and sin.

May the Holy Spirit help you overcome whatever sin is causing you to stumble in your walk with Christ so that you can live the life Jesus has called you to live!

In a previous episode (Ep 5 - The Christian Worldview), I shared some fundamentals about the Christian faith, namely, Jesus being God and the Bible being God's Word. Many people are unaware of these “basics of Christianity”, which then clouds their understanding of the Christian faith. If you haven't watched or listened to the last episode, I strongly encourage you to do so.

With the last episode as the context, in this episode, I hope to address certain things that are generally acceptable in society today, but is not acceptable to Jesus/the God of the Bible and therefore, things that a genuine Christian cannot agree with.

May the Holy Spirit help you understand why genuine Christians believe what we believe and teach you how to respect us as fellow human beings, while agreeing to disagree with us.

It's not uncommon to hear Christians labelled as bigots, the irony being that those who call us bigots are themselves being bigots in the process! Many Christians are called bigots because we remain faithful to Jesus the Way, while rejecting the ways of the world.

In this episode, I briefly discuss how the Christian worldview is based on what Jesus/God teaches in the Bible and why genuine Christians rely on God the Holy Spirit to live by God's Word (the Bible).

I pray the Holy Spirit will use me to help you understand us Christians a bit better and God willing, encourage you to learn more about who Jesus is and why you need to have a personal relationship with Him.

Not everyone who calls themselves a Christian, are truly one. So, what makes a Christian, truly a Christian?

In this episode, I go through seven truths from the Bible that shows what it means to be a true Christian.

True Christians are: 

✝️ born again because of the work of the Holy Spirit.

✝️ Spirit filled, Spirit led and obedient to Christ.

✝️ always reflecting Christ in their character and conduct.

✝️ known by Jesus as His disciples.

✝️ always walking with Christ, rooted in the Word, and always joyful, thankful and faithful in prayer.

✝️ not perfect but repent of their sin.

✝️ not ashamed of their faith in Jesus and are willing to share the Gospel with others.

I pray the Holy Spirit will give you a clear understanding of what it means to truly be a believer and follower of Jesus Christ, and help you be a true Christian in every sense. 🙏

Many Hindus, like my parents and siblings, will tell you that they love/respect/admire Jesus. Question is, are Hindus referring to the Jesus in the Bible or some other Jesus?

My prayer for those Hindus who will come across this episode is that they will genuinely reflect on their own religion, their own opinions about Jesus and then compare it to what Jesus says about Himself.

I pray that the Holy Spirit will reveal to all Hindus, to everyone who is watching or listening, that Jesus is the One and Only true God and why they desperately need Jesus to save them from their sins!

2020 was hard, 2021 doesn't seem like it's going to be a lot better. ☹️

The world we are living in is full of turmoil and increasingly so. 🌏

COVID-19 doesn't look like it's done with us yet. 😷

The US elections and resulting unrest have not only shaken America, but the aftereffects is being felt all around the world. 🇺🇸

If you are not a follower of Jesus, how are you coping with all this? I would like to know. 🤔

The Christian faith is also dealing with the aftermath of many scandals from 2020 (see link under references). 😥

Christian, are you going to ditch Jesus and run for the hills OR are you going to stand firm on the Rock that is Jesus Christ? ✝️

Whether you are a non-Christian or a follower of Jesus, I want you to know that all hope is not lost, that the LORD remains on His throne, and He has everything under control. If you have Jesus, you can rest in His love, joy and peace, no matter what is going on around you or in the world! 🙌

Please join me in this first episode of season 2 of Cornerstone as I share why superficial New Year’s resolutions are impossible to achieve and how the right resolutions can only be made AND achieved with help from the LORD!
