“Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything”. That is James 1 verse 2 and 3. To write a letter to brothers andContinue reading “Joy”

The book of Genesis rightly starts with the words “In the beginning God…”, the same goes with the book of John which starts with “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God”.

The human race was created distinctly from other species we have in the earth by God. What makes humans different is that humans are made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27), they are therefore image bearers of God. No wonder one of God’s first command to humans was to subdue the earth, they wereContinue reading “Image bearers”

The account of the creation in the book of Genesis is one of the most astounding stories of the bible. It is almost impossible to read it and not ponder about the excellency of God.
