The questioning of the reliability of every word written in the Bible is becoming popular nowadays. It seems to be hard for a person to believe that scriptures written are indeed true or even accurate at the very least, especially now that technologies and science are advancing. This issue is not even new in today's generation, it had existed then in earlier generations, and this notion seems to be widely spreading. God became silent for many years without messages, visions, and words given to any prophets or priests. And without any voice being heard from God, His past words are being forgotten and sometimes people consider irrelevant. If that period, which is not long enough compare to where we are now in this generation, can doubt about God’s word; How much more in our current generations? God made a promise that He will send a Saviour and that He will restore the broken relationship between man and God.  Mary, the mother of Jesus on earth, is not an exception to this social dil...

Remembering our church' humble beginning, we actually started as a home church in our Point Cook residence and our very first service, though attended by Narre Warren delegations with a spirit of celebrations, were not more than ten (10) person who were from West Melbourne area. Everyone are really happy to witness this breakthrough in FBGC-IAFB Australia and they were congratulating us as we opened this worship service. However, that was only temporary as the succeeding services were attended only by few and always with the same familiar faces. I was then beginning to ask our God, is this really going to progress or not. First, it was planted in a young town of Point Cook, although it is a progressing suburb, there are only few people that we know in this area and to complicates things, everyone of us are amateur in church planting. Second, I am not really an active evangelist although but thank God we have one who are so eager and passionate about his calling as an evangelist. T...

“Why should any living person complain when punished for his sins? נ(Nun) Let us carefully examine our ways, and let us return to the Lord. Let us lift up our hearts and our hands to God in heaven” - Lamentations 3:39-42. When staring in a beautifully painted wall, we may get amazed to its outstanding beauty at the first look. But staring to it for some time, we start looking for the defects, a hole, paint patches, dirt, etc. The tendency of human mind is to always try to find out of what makes a perfect imperfect. It seems that there is no difference in our relationship with our God, we tend to complain on His alleged imperfections to us especially when we feel punished by our committed sin. We assume that God is unfair as if it is Him who caused these pains to us. We are acknowledging our sin against Him, thus we repent, but we do not want to be punished. This is not a true repentance then, it is just admittance. Though God accepted us wholeheartedly, we still have to bear the conseq...

Every believer is entrusted with the Gospel of Jesus the moment he accepted Him as their Lord and Saviour through the Holy Spirit who draws us near to Him and gives His wisdom abundantly. Therefore, it is our responsibility to preach to everyone without any exceptions. However as we try to share Jesus' Good News, we either trying to be caught in emotional defensive and/or offensive conversation rather than victorious salvation of souls. We all fall in this invincible trap that almost unrecognizable and later becomes our habit already. A habit of defensive and offensive preaching of the Gospel is not the main characteristics of it. It may only lead to sending people away from hearing the Word of God. The good news of Jesus, indeed, exaggerates the image of God such as Kind, Love, Mercy, Grace, Just, and Eternity in heaven.  Paul summarizes it in Titus 3:4-7 says " 4 But "when the kindness of God our Saviour and his love for mankind appeared, 5 he saved us not by works of ...
