This episode is part of my podcast series DEAR ATHEIST… If you prefer, LISTEN NOW. ***** There is an account in the Bible about how Paul and Barnabas went to Lystra, preaching the gospel among the Gentiles, and then came across a cripple. Paul speaks to the cripple that he may […]
This episode is part of my podcast series DEAR ATHEIST… If you prefer, LISTEN NOW. ***** Is this a reasonable position for Atheists or Secularists to take? Atheists have often argued that the Christian slogan to “hate the sin, but love the sinner” is tantamount to their claim to oppose religion […]
Sometime last week, I was looking for something to watch while I worked, and I was unsettled about doing the usual – Netflix. I’d already acknowledged that I needed to feed my mind with inspiration and learning, but it was just a light craving. I didn’t know how […]
In the Bible App, today, the question was posed, “What about eternal life encourages you today?” Of the three options given, I chose, “I will have perfect community with God.” This is because, for me, the trauma of living in this realm is the uncertainty of life, its […]
Today, I googled the meaning of homophobia, following the accusation that there was a sprinkle of it in my book. I hoped for clarity, but it may shock some of you reading, as it did me, that merely being “uncomfortable” about homosexuality warrants the derogatory label of “homophobic.” […]
I’m of the opinion that it is easier to say sorry when you don’t mean it. For some people, sorry just falls off their lips just as easily as they lie. But as someone who strives to be truthful all the time, I find it hard to apologise […]
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 […]
In this world where the wise thing to do in an abusive relationship is to walk away, to protect and look after yourself and your sanity, I feel conflicted about the Wisdom of the Cross that caused Jesus to endure unfair punishment, torture, insults and mocking, to redeem […]
I’m not okay. I’m not okay with the way of the world. I’m not okay that we don’t agree. I’m not okay that everything costs money. I’m not okay that so many have to do without. It seems these days everyone’s out for number one. Nobody seems to […]
I have been passionate for God since I was a child, and have been influenced by stories of Abraham, Moses and Samuel who heard God speak to them and call them out specially. I didn’t think God was going to call me like that, but I wanted to […]
I don’t know about you, but being an author and being someone who has connected with a lot of authors since becoming one, I’ve learnt a lot about these people called “authors”, and how best to treat them. My instinct, when someone tells me they have written a […]
1. I love that you are not easily broken. Though you fall often and are beaten and oppressed, you are resilient and passionate about life and determined to survive. 2. I love that even when things are hard for you, you can always find the words to say […]
1. I hate that I can’t make you do anything. No matter how often I ask you or beg you. You do exactly what you want, when you want and how you want. 2. I hate that you often follow the crowd. Whatever is trending is what you […]
“Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). Jesus said that, it wasn’t me. In my humble opinion, that means we are all born losers…because unless we receive a rebirth of our Spirit, we shall not enter God’s rest. In Christianity, […]
Hi y’all! So the year is coming to an end, and it has been a fantabulous one, with a few ups and downs for me… But a wonderful growth journey, I believe. Today, I am happy to see 2017 over, and I am looking expectantly into 2018. I’m […]
