The God who heals

Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases.- Psalms 103:1-2


This verse reminds us that healing is part of the gracious heart of God toward His children. Just as He is willing to forgive, He is also able to heal. Throughout Scripture, we see Him revealing Himself as the Lord who heals, bringing restoration to bodies, minds, and lives. 


When we face sickness or weakness, we do not come to Him with uncertainty about His power, but with confidence in His compassion and ability. We can stand on His promises, pray in faith, and trust that He is at work even when we do not yet see the full manifestation of His healing. 


Our hope is anchored in the character of God and the finished work of Christ, who bore our sins and carried our infirmities. Therefore, let your heart be encouraged today: the God who heals has not changed. 


He is still able to touch, restore, strengthen, and make whole, and we can confidently place our trust in Him.

Remembering Uncle Thomas Malcolm Ranjore : 1940- 2025

Image
It was with great sadness that I received the news of Uncle Thomas Malcolm Ranjore’s passing on the 20th of June, at the age of 84.  Though our hearts grieve, we do not mourn as those without hope.  As Psalm 116:15  reminds us: “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His faithful servants.” Uncle Malcolm (as he was fondly called) was truly one of God’s faithful servants, a man whose life was marked by worship, prayer, evangelism, generosity, and love for both God and people. I remember not just someone who lived long, but someone who lived well, for the glory of God. A man of worship One thing that stands out in his life is that Uncle Malcolm was a gifted musician. He played the violin not as a performer, but as a worshipper. When he played, it was as if heaven drew near. His music ushered in the presence of God, just like the Levites in the Old Testament, who ministered before the Lord with stringed instruments. 1 Chronicles 25:6 ...

God’s Faithfulness in Our Nation - Blessed National Day Singapore

Text:   “The Lord did not set His affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. But it was because the Lord loved you and kept the oath He swore to your ancestors…”  –  Deuteronomy 7:7–8   When God chose Israel, it was not because of their size, power, or wealth. In fact, they were a small, vulnerable nation surrounded by mighty empires. Yet God’s choice was based solely on His love and covenant faithfulness.   Moses spoke these words to Israel, he was reminding them of an important truth:   Their survival and success  When  were not because of their strength, resources, or wisdom — but because of God’s faithfulness and mercy.   Singapore’s story mirrors this in remarkable ways. In 1965, we were a tiny island with no natural resources, no hinterland, and little global influence. Kicked out of Malaysia, many wondered if we could even survive. By every human calculatio...

God, the Strength of My Heart

"My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; He is mine forever."  —  Psalm 73:26 (NLT)   Psalm 73 offers a profound meditation on the tension between faithfulness and the experience of apparent injustice in the world—a tension that remains deeply relevant for believers today. In a broader theological context, Psalm 73 echoes enduring biblical themes: the problem of evil, the testing of faith, and the promise of divine justice. It stands both as a confession of human frailty and a declaration of trust, illustrating that authentic faith engages honestly with doubt but rests securely in the hope of God’s eternal righteousness.   In this psalm, Asaph, one of King David’s chief musicians, begins with a heartfelt affirmation of God’s goodness toward the pure in heart. Yet despite this conviction, he openly confesses a moment of deep inner turmoil, nearly shattered by envy toward the arrogant and the wicked. Observing their ea...
