Jesus teaches us that the pure in heart are blessed because only they will see God (Matt 5:8). When we are gifted with spiritual sight…to believe in God, to be aware of His presence, to desire His fellowship…we are blessed. But there are times when we do not […]
Jesus said for us to be “wise as serpents, but gentle as doves” Matt 10:16. So the wolves and vipers of the world attack us when we approach them to tell them the Truth. Filled with knowledge, but having no desire to change, they like to use carnal […]
Prayer…. Do you really believe it works? If you do, does it work like a leathal weapon, with immediate effect, or more like a slow-ticking time bomb? Is it the first resort in times of crisis, or do you place it aside like an ineffective toy gun, to […]
The Bible says that there is a time for everything, and preaches the message of balance in our lives. In Christianity, we are taught to deny ourselves, and humble ourselves, putting God and others first. This message is important in a world filled with self-centred people who spend […]
Hi dear readers, I’m starting something new, by striving to answer hard questions on my blog through new posts, as a lot of my content is thought-provoking, and may require further clarity. I’m starting with a series of questions by Dina on remarriage. You may post questions as […]
We are made for love. For true love. Passionate, thrilling love. Love that gives us freedom to be truly ourselves but also safely protects us with grace and justice…
“For the Law was given through Moses; Grace and Truth came through Jesus Christ” (John 1:17). What is the Law? The Law is the set of commandments by which we shall live without offense before God. As it was given to the Isrealites, the Law was like a […]
I think we all think that we are better than we really are. We would like to believe that given a moral dilemma, we would rise to the occasion and do the right thing, no matter the consequence. We are also quick to damn those who fail in […]
Lord, I need Your help today To love someone who doesn’t love me To treat them with kindness Even when they abuse and insult me Help me to love them Your way Knowing that when I hated You You took the punishment for my wrongs Even though I […]
I don’t know anyone who enjoys a trial, or a single soul who can stand waiting. These, for us, are seemingly unnecessary aspects of living. We all wish life would be free of trials and we could have what we want when we want it. However, for God, […]
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 […]
I am no economist, nor accountant. I can’t claim business experience. However, as a social entrepreneur and thinker in my time, I dare to submit an opinion. What’s in a diamond? Everyone seems to want one. A really big one, if possible. They don’t want to eat it, […]
Are you my brother or my enemy? These days it is hard to tell! So many profess the same faith, but their actions are as diverse from yours as the many colours of the rainbow. It is hard to know who is really sincere, who’s right and who’s […]
“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 […]
Below is something I read this morning by Rick Warren, in his daily devotional series. The message is an old lesson, but still a major obstacle for many believers. We may want to relate with the world so that we can understand them and minister to them, but […]
