We all do it, I’m sure. Wonder “what if I’d done this and not that?” “What if I’d been there or not been there?” “What if I’d listened to that person or chosen a different action?” Such thinking serves only to frustrate and torment us, because it changes […]
I think this is a question many of us are asking at this moment in time, especially with the pandemic that has swept the world. By us, I mean humanity, Believers and unbelievers, because even Believers wonder why it seems their prayers are going unanswered. Really, does this […]
Hi all! It’s been a long minute since I wrote here and even longer since I reviewed a book 🙂 Seriously, I missed it, but it couldn’t have been helped. My life is changing. In so many ways, it’s not even funny. I’m just trying to adjust and […]
Lately, the more I think about hell, the more I question the idea of God. It’s a strange thing for a Christian to say, especially one who once held strongly and taught much about hell previously. But the truth is, I haven’t felt much like a Christian, in […]
Many have asked, What is love? Often, they are told, It’s an act of the will, Though one might have thought It’s a really strong feeling… At least from watching the movies And listening to the sappy tunes. But when it comes to reality, The emotions fall short, […]
According to Buddhism, there are for four noble truths, one of which is that suffering is borne from craving, and I can’t but agree with it. Suffering is said to be caused by our “…attachment to the desire to have (craving) and the desire not to have (aversion)” […]
I’ve come to the realisation that I am disloyal. I understand that that is not an admirable trait. People, families, organisations and societies like people who are loyal. Who stay in line and defend the image of the people they represent, no matter what. Nobody likes a traitor. […]
He says, “judge not, unless you be judged,” (Matt 7:1) yet He judges us. He says, “do not repay evil with evil, but repay evil with good,” (Rom 12:17-21) yet He devises and proclaims evil for those He has judged as deserving. As a Christian, I can understand […]
I’ve been reading the book of Jeremiah, and it’s filled with God’s proclamation of judgement, not only on the Israelites, but on other nations like Moab, Babylon, and Egypt. As I’ve been reading it, I’ve been overwhelmed by the amount of times God said He planned evil for […]
Hey, Welcome to another episode of The Spotlight. How are you doing? I hope your weekend is going awesome! Today, I’m reviewing another book by Eniola Prentice. It’s actually the second book in her Still series, and I reviewed the first earlier this year. I started reading this […]
This week, one of my followers on Instagram reached out to me, in response to a post where I expressed my appreciation for those who had been praying for me. She said I’d actually been on her mind that day, and she was one of those praying for […]
I am reading the book of Jeremiah now and, earlier in the week, I read Chapter 18. It was about the Potter and the Clay, and I found it rather interesting and enlightening. It reminded me of the post I wrote in 2017, How Humble Is Our God […]
Hey y’all, It’s been a long time since I’ve posted on The Spotlight. It’s not that I haven’t been reading, but I’ve been doing more of writing and editing over the last couple of months. Yes, I now edit books by other authors, and it’s been great! I’m […]
Oh, Lord, I know You understand us Because of Jesus Christ… I know You care and feel compassion for us… I know that, through Jesus Christ, You felt and feel our pain… You feel the injustice. The fear. The sorrow. The pain of being forsaken, Left to the […]
Dear Lord, I’ve been reading about Your prophesies through Isaiah concerning the Hebrews. I know You were very upset with them for disobeying Your commandments. I know You only promised them Your protection and prosperity if they obeyed. But they forsook You and went after other gods… You […]
