Okay, be honest… I’m sure I am not the only one! You don’t even have to be female to wonder along these lines. Paul is a phenomenal person, whose mark on Christianity is second to none – except Christ of course, whose name we all bear! Yes, Paul’s […]
Many people think I am nice. You know, because I am Christian, they feel I ought to be nice, friendly and agreeable. And the fact that I am charitable and compassionate magnifies the perception that I am naive, easy and a push over. Resisting other people’s urge to […]
When two people who love each other, decide to live together…they don’t usually think about the times they will quarrel. Or the times they will want to be apart. Or even the times, they will consider hurting one another! They know it might get tough at times, but […]
The reality of the Christian Church today is that we are divided. The issues that we are divided on are so vast, and the fear we have for deception is so strong, that we do not know what to lay down as an opinion and what to uphold as […]
“Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee” (1 Tim 4:16). How important is doctrine in the life of a Christian? What is doctrine, really? Google defines doctrine as a “belief […]
“When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things” (1 Cor 13:11). There comes a point in every person’s life when they know they have to […]
If you happen to have read my post Think BIGGER!, you may have had some of your views on and practices of Christianity challenged. Some of your deeply entrenched doctrines would have been strongly refuted by that brief Bible study and revelation of who you are in Christ. […]
Some of you may be aware that I was once a part of a fellowship that took literally the teachings of Jesus, including the one that is the title of this post, by refusing to work in a job for money. They are/were called the Jesus Christians, and […]
Happy Weekend, y’all. I hope it’s going well. I really do. It’s been a sad week for many of us, with constant news reports about people who we feel had it going for them suddenly giving up and taking their own lives… It makes you wonder, how bad […]
The account of Peter walking on the water to Jesus is very popular. It is used by many Christian ministers to teach why we must keep our eyes fixed on God. I would like to spend some time on it today, to see if there are other lessons […]
Sounds ridiculous right? But that’s exactly what we say in our hearts when we wrestle with God about preserving ourselves, rather than yielding wholly to Him. We want His wisdom alright, but we don’t want to lose the ‘wisdom’ we already have. Rather than present a blank slate […]
Both the people-pleaser and the rebel are alike in that neither are free. They are probably the saddest, most miserable people on earth, because they are slaves to their own imaginations. The former is a slave to other people’s expectations (and spends his/her life TRYING to conform), while […]
“Nevertheless, I have this against you, that you have left your first love” (Revelation 2:4). It is such a wonder how we so easily lose our way, break the focus and become derailed, even though we remain active. It is just that we are actively going the wrong […]
That must be the most asked question around. From Atheists to Believers, at any point in time, someone going through a hardship or immense trial is asking – ‘where is God?’. We all sort of expect Him to show up just when we need Him, only when we […]
I just concluded another reading of the book of Acts, and I got quite a few lessons from it. There was something that really got me this time. A communication between Jesus and Paul. In the 23rd Chapter, there is an account of Paul being held in the […]
