Reflections Wilson Lim 7 December 2022 How can our children learn about authority? Deut 8:5 (NIV) Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you. How can our children learn about authority? When we exercise it consistently and firmly in a godly fashion, with grace, with justice. If we allow our children to step all over us, they will not understand nor appreciate authority. Parents should make the ultimate decisions in the home, not our children. Of course we should consider our children's feelings, etc but we must make the family decisions.

Reflections Wilson Lim 4 May 2022 How then should we love? How then should we love? The correct priority was given by Jesus Himself in Matthew 22:37 - 39 (NIV) 37Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38This is the first and greatest commandment.  39And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ So, first love God with all that we are. That is the highest priority. Then love our neighbour as we love ourselves. In The City of God, Augustine wrote, “Two cities have been founded by two loves, the earthly by the love of self, even to the contempt of God. The heavenly by the love of God, even to the contempt of self. The former, in a word, glorifies itself, the latter the Lord.” We should examine our own hearts carefully and honestly. Do we love ourselves more than God? If so, we need to repent of this misdirected love and turn our love to God instead. Otherwise we may find ourselves amongst the unholy lovers.

Reflections Wilson Lim 7 May 2025 Have we grown up yet? Playing with toddlers can be so fun. But not when 20 year olds still behave like one. Have we grown up yet? Or are we still infants, toddlers in Christ? How do we know where we are? During my devotions, these verses made me pause. 1 Corinthians 3:1 - 3 (NIV) 1 Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual but as worldly—mere infants in Christ. 2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. 3 You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere men? If our perspectives and attitudes still align with the world, if the ways of this world still hold much sway in our hearts, then we are still worldly. Spiritual infants. But if God's ways and His perspectives are what we grasp hold off, then we are spiritual. And our attitudes and actions will reflect that.

Reflections Wilson Lim 4 January 2023 Maintaining spiritual virtues... 1 Timothy 4:8 (NIV) For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. To maintain our muscle tone, we need to be involved in consistent exercise that stretches our muscles. If we fail to maintain regular exercise, our muscles start to lose their tone. Eventually we start to lose muscle mass and it starts being replaced by fat. In the same way, maintaining spiritual virtues and godly character requires focus, consistent spiritual disciplines and exercise. That is why we are urged to pursue! It requires some effort, some determination and some discipline. Even courage. God is there with us. God is backing us. God provides us all that we need to pursue these virtues. God provides His grace to do so. We just have to apply it. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Recent Posts See All God does not leave us...

Reflections Wilson Lim 2 April 2025 Kingdom Builders In Neh 3:2-7, the images we get from this record are whole groups of diverse people worked together side by side. The chapter records the construction from the Sheep Gate and going anti-clockwise, the construction of the wall around the entire city until it returns to the Sheep Gate in v32. Shoulder to shoulder these worked to rebuild the walls. The key lesson is this: teamwork brought this tremendous work to completion. Teamwork will accomplish far more than separate efforts. From the time the first exiles returned to Jerusalem until the time of Nehemiah it was about 90 years. Yet in all that time, no one rebuilt the walls! But when Nehemiah came he pulled the people together to rebuild the walls. Once they worked together, it only took them 52 days! There is tremendous power in synergy. When all agree to work together at the same time. Let's work in teams together to advance God's Kingdom.

Reflections Wilson Lim 2 April 2025 Absorbing the Word Have we made it a habit to absorb the Word of God into our hearts? 2 Timothy 2:2 (NIV)  And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others. Paul was referring to God’s Word that he had taught, which Timothy heard many times. Truths which Paul knew Timothy had absorbed into his heart and life. On the other hand, there are so many believers who have heard God's Word but because they failed to grasp it, or to absorb it into their hearts - it has made little difference in their lives. And consequently they are also unable to effectively teach and impart it to others. Have we heard and have we absorbed? In other words, have we understood God’s Word and has God’s Word become part of us? Will you determine today to seek to absorb God's Word as much as possible into our lives?

Reflections Wilson Lim 9 January 2025 With Us Every Step In biblical times, the good shepherd always journeys with his sheep to ensure their safety. Another reason why we should not fear is because God assures us that He journeys with us. Isaiah 41:10 (NIV) So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. God journeys with us and will be there to help us, to strengthen us, to uphold us. God does not give us a roadmap and leave us to our own devices. He actually is with us. Though the entire journey. That is why we should turn to Him first and foremost.

Reflections Wilson Lim 5 July 2023 Relationship with God How does our relationship with God help cultivate true contentment in us? It helps us realise that God is a good, caring Father. Jeremiah Burroughs explained, "Christian contentment is that sweet, inward, quiet, gracious frame of spirit, which freely submits to and delights in God's wise and fatherly disposal in every condition." What does that mean? Contentment is we reach that point in our faith journey where we are thankful for what we have and remain patient in the midst of challenges. Even though we don’t fully understand, but we still trust in God’s hand. Hebrews 13:5 (NIV) 5  …be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." The fact that God is with us, is sufficient. We can be contented.

Reflections Wilson Lim 6 September 2023 Pursuing The Lord What stands out in the lives of Moses, Isaiah, Elijah, David, John, Paul, Finney and Thomas Kempis? They all came from different nationalities, education, temperament, personal qualities etc. Yet they all journeyed, each in his day and era, upon a high road of spiritual living. One thing they all had in common was their spiritual receptivity towards God! They each had an inward longing for God and they did something about it! Friends, let’s be relentless in pursuing the Lord and may we be encouraged and strengthened by Him alone! Psalm 27:8 (NIV) My heart says of you, "Seek his face!" Your face, LORD, I will seek.

Reflections Wilson Lim 5 June 2024 Renew our minds with God's way Romans 12:1 - 2 (NIV) 1Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. 2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. The media constantly propagates unbiblical conduct and values. Over time, the extreme and shocking has infiltrated our everyday life and made the taboo, shocking, unethical behaviours as acceptable, even cool. What was once unacceptable has become morally ambiguous. Everything is up to our choice. It is after all, our freedom to do as we like, it declares. Flirting. Sex before marriage. Co-habitation are just some of the lifestyle patterns that come from a worldly perspective. Without realising it, we absorb so much of the world’s ways and continue to keep it in our hearts and minds. Why don’t we choose to unconform from the world? Instead let us renew our minds with God’s ways! Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Recent Posts See All God does not leave us...

Reflections Wilson Lim 5 April 2023 God Is Working On Us. God is working on us. To bring us to purity and maturity. That we may be more Christlike. Like a master craftsman, He is lovingly, skilfully, patiently, deftly shaping us. Firmly, surely, sometimes seemingly rough yet always carefully chipping away at us, carving, honing, sanding to bring His glory. 2 Cor 4:17 (NIV) For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.  When God is finished it will be a great work of art. But we must cooperate with Him. Ultimately, God’s glory will be in worked in us if we realise that there has to be less of ourselves. Our selfish, self-centred, sinful self. But more of God in our lives. John 3:30 (KJV) He must increase, but I must decrease.  What do you think?
