Friend and Father or Slave?

Many view Jesus and God as a stern Lord or slave master, but it could not be further from the truth. Yet, many Christians are very focused on what they must do for Jesus, or whether they are doing everything right.
They might think: Have I committed some sins that have made God angry at me, and in some way he wants to punish me?
What are Jesus and God calling us? Is it slaves and servants? Or is it his friend and son or daughter?
I want to share with you two scriptures today that will show very clearly how God looks at you.

The Bible says that the joy of the Lord is our strength (Neh. 10: 8).
If you are depressed and worried do you have strength? We have little strength and power if we do not have joy.
The joy is in you already, but you need to discover it more and more.
We also have an enemy who is looking for an opportune to steal our joy and peace.
Learn how to discover more of this joy, which can even heal you and set you free.
I have also include some personal stories in this encouragement.

Here are some exiting news from us out here in Northern Thailand. October 2019
In the last four to five weeks, a lot has happened here in the Ministry we are leading, Good News for the Shan. Among other things, there have been several Shan who have received Jesus, around 13-14 people, and we are busy following them up. Several of them we have been reaching out to for a while already, but suddenly there were several who wanted to take the full step out and accepting Jesus in their life.
On Sunday, we baptized five of those who became Christians in September.

Love Keeps No Record of Wrongs

(The heading is taken from 1Cor 13:5)
We have probably all heard that God is love (1Joh 4:8), but what does that really mean?
Some believe that God only has love, it's only one of his attributes, and he will show it to us when we deserved it or when we have behaved good.
Some believe he only loves me and will hear my prayer when have repented from all of the sins I have done, and they maybe even think: All sins I have done since I was a child and I need to know exactly what I did.
There are a lot of people who are not very confident in their prayer, fellowship and communication with him, because they believe that God keeps a record of wrongs.

Do We Have to Give the Tithe? (And are we under a curse if we don’t give)

Perhaps you have heard: You steal from God if you don’t give the tithe, or you are under a curse if you don’t give, or God will punish you if you don’t give the tithe, or God will not heal you if you do not give. These two things are usually not said directly, but it can often be perceived in this way and maybe someone thinks this way too?
In fact, I've heard someone say it like this: If you are stingy ("and do not give to us") then you will go to hell, for those who are stingy will not inherit the kingdom of God.
I get very upset when I hear statements and teachings that are manipulative and that give you guilt, condemnation or fear like this!
None of these things are compatible with God's character, and some can easily take scriptures out of context and misuse them.
In this teaching today I hope I can give you some clarity and also free you from condemnation and guilt especially in connection with the tithe and money.
