by Steven Chan The Bible declares that all who trust in God are blessed indeed. “Blessed” in the sense that one is in a favourable, desirable, happy and joyful position. It is not wrong to desire to be blessed. In fact our Lord began His well-known sermon in Matt 5, with the phrase, “Blessed are […]

by  Steven Chan The Bible declares that God alone is wise. This is important for us to appreciate. Many think that they are wise. But the Bible warns in Rom 12:16: “Do not be wise in your own opinion.” Why is this warning given? According to Rom 1:22, some “professing to be wise, they became […]
