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 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 […]
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 […]
Hi all! How are you doing? Welcome to a new episode of The Spotlight! I am so glad to have branched into reviewing TV series and Films now on this platform. I guess, this platform is more than just about blogging and books, but about the things that […]
I read Isaiah 3 today and was struck by a particular verse. 12. As for My people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O My people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths. I have to say, […]
Today, Lord, I just want to declare That You are indeed enough for me. In fact, Lord, You are too much! In You, I have all that I’ll ever need, Much more than I should ever want… Lord, I have tasted and I have seen That You are […]
Hey y’all. It’s been a short while. How’s your weekend? I’m back on The Spotlight with another review of a TV series I watched and took away lessons from. It is the highly controversial Netflix series, “Lucifer”, and after watching the complete four seasons, I felt a burden […]
“But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him” (John 4:23). I started writing this post last month, and all I wrote was the […]
I saw a post the other day that presented the argument that homosexuality is not the only sin that God condemns, and if Christians can be divorced, remarried and still go to Church, why can’t they be gay and still go to Church? There are a number of […]
Hey y’all… As I am writing this, it’s 3:53am, the morning after binge watching the first four episodes of the new TV series “God Friended Me”. I got a burden about the time I was going to bed to write about this series on The Spotlight, but I […]
Even without religion, God is. There’s something I’ve been meditating on, trying to get an understanding and revelation about. The process of our growth in God, how we come into a relationship with Him, how we mature or grow through that relationship, whether or not it’s defined, and […]
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 […]
Over the last couple of days, I’ve been musing on Feminism, as a Feminist and a Christian. Following Chimamanda Adichie’s faux pas to Hillary Clinton, and reading an exceptional take by a friend of mine on the subject, I’ve been challenged to address the validity and relevance of […]
“…if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know” (1 Corinthians 8:2). The danger of radicalism is that you can be radically wrong. So, I’ve said it, point blank, and I am now going to buttress on it. You […]
Last night, I started musing on how the Bible is like a maze on Instagram. It was a revelation that came to me, as I was reading a fictional novel about marriage, domestic abuse and infidelity. I was trying to comprehend how to apply all of what God […]
