Death and the Christian (Part II)
Written by Rev E M Wee   19 February 2012 Death is an unwelcome visitor to any home; he calls uninvited, without prior notice of time or place. “Life will fall before a touch, a breath. Justinian, an emperor of Rome, died by going into a room which had been newly painted. A consul struck his foot against his own threshold, and his foot mortified, so that he died thereby” - C H Spurgeon. Death is the “King of Terrors” which everyone must meet some day. “A man has no power to adjourn the day of his death, nor can he by prayers or bribes obtain a reprieve; no bail will be taken, no essoine (excuse), protection, or imparlance (conference), allowed” – Matthew Henry. |
Death and the Christian (Part I)
Written by Rev E M Wee 12 February 2012 I was talking to a Christian brother recently concerning the stress and strains of life: “Well, we get by day to day. Anyway, God has built us to last ‘threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength … fourscore years’” (Ps. 90: 10). Job, the old patriarch, spoke these wise words: “And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD” (Job 1: 21). All must die - some at an old age, others in their youth. Death happens to kings and nobles, the poor beggar on the street as well as the common working people. Notwithstanding, death is no respecter of persons or status. COMMUNION WITH GOD (PART II)
Written by Rev E M Wee 29 January 2012 Our gracious Lord invites His children to fellowship with Him. He is pleased when we seek His presence. King David in Psalm 27 marveled at God’s desire for fellowship with him: “When Thou saidst, ‘Seek ye My face;’ my heart said unto Thee, ‘Thy face, O LORD, will I seek’” (v. 8).

COMMUNION WITH GOD (Part I)
Written by Rev E M Wee 22 January 2012 “Every true Christian life needs its daily ‘silent times,’ when all shall be still, when the busy activity of other hours shall cease, and when the heart, in holy hush, shall commune with God. One of the greatest needs in Christian life in these days is more devotion. Ours is not an age of prayer so much as an age of work. The tendency is to action rather than to worship, to busy toil rather than to quiet sitting at the Saviour’s feet to commune with Him” - J. Wilbur Chapman, “Present Day Parables” How true it is that “one of the greatest needs in Christian life in these days is more devotion.” It is needful for us to spend time with the Lord daily - to sit quietly at the Saviour’s feet to learn of Him and to refresh our weary souls. How blessed to be in the presence of the One Who loves us and cares for us. ONLY TWO WAYS (Part III)
Written by Rev E M Wee 15 January 2012 1. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. The psalmist uses a pictorial illustration to demonstrate the radical difference between the godly and the ungodly. The godly is pictured as a green and fruitful tree by the side of a river, and the ungodly as a heap of chaff. Much has been said about the godly in the first two parts of our article. Let us now consider the state of the ungodly. One writer describes the ungodly man as someone who “is unconcerned about religion; he is neither zealous for his own salvation, nor for that of others: and he counsels and advises those with whom he converses to adopt his plan, and not trouble themselves about praying, reading, repenting, etc. There is no need for such things; just live an honest life, make no fuss about religion, and you will fare well enough at last.” There is no thought of eternal consequences. |
