Weaknesses Make Us Stronger
Whatever weakness that we may have, we have to make sure that we overcome it by putting it into God’s hands, asking Him for help which should eliminate the weakness, thereby making us stronger.
Be Strong and of Good Courage
Be Strong and of good Courage was the admonition God gave to Joshua prior to him going into the promised land because of the great responsibility he would face. In similar manner w need to be strong and of good courage as we live our Christian lives in this land until the return of Christ to set up the Kingdom which is our promised land.
The Purpose of Fasting
We are commanded to “afflict our souls” on the Day of
Atonement. Does this really mean that we must fast for 24 hours? And if so, do
we fast by just abstaining from solid food during that time, or do we also have
to abstain from liquids? What are some of the reasons and purposes for
fasting? On the other hand, what are some of the motives which we should not
have when we fast? Does fasting have rewards? Can we fast in vain? And what is
the connection between reconciliation or at-one-ment and fasting?
