Actually, the first believers / disciples were recognized by their calling on the name of the Lord Jesus – that’s how Paul, when he was Saul, would find them and then imprison them. This practice of calling on the name of the Lord is not something new or invented by someone, but it is a […]
and whatever you do in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus
This morning, I enjoyed this verse from Col. 3:17 And whatever you do in word or in deed, do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. In our Christian life and experience, we need to call on the name of the Lord, breathe Him in […]
the same Lord is Lord of all and RICH to all those who call upon His name!
How I love the name of Jesus! Just like Rom. 10:12-13 says: For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord is Lord of all and rich to all who call upon Him; For “whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” we can be saved by calling […]

worshipping God in the dispensing of the Triune God!
God wants us to worship Him, and as we saw previously, to worship God according to His desire is to eat Him and to drink Him. In the writings of Paul we see some examples of such proper worship to God, like Eph 3:14-17, For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father, of […]
