The light shines in darkness

The bible is such an incredible book. In it you find both the “what actually happened / what you did” versus “what should have happened / what you were supposed to do” scenarios. The bible gives us a full picture of what life should look like for the child of God. It is also aContinue reading “The light shines in darkness”

On The Institution Of Marriage

At a recent wedding, I heard something I had never thought of during the groom’s vows, he said something to the effect of “marriage was the only institution that did not get tainted by the fall”. I thought it was powerful because indeed the fall did not change the relationship between the Father, the SonContinue reading “On The Institution Of Marriage”

He Is Faithful

God always accomplishes His word. That is how we know He is faithful. One of the main differences between us – image bearers and God is his ability to remain true to His words irrespective of what happens as it says in 2 Timothy “if we are faithless, he remains faithful for he cannot denyContinue reading “He Is Faithful”

Hanging in there joyfully

Waiting on the Lord is not my strong suit. I know, it is nobody’s, but some people are better at it than others and I am not one of those. I find it particularly harder to wait when you know the end is near. We all wait on the Lord for different things and mostContinue reading “Hanging in there joyfully”

The Holy Spirit

This is a bold topic to tackle yet it must be done. It is bold because at the outset one must recognize that one doesn’t have the answers. It is bold because it reminds us that God is not us and we cannot comprehend Him fully. The Holy Spirit is the third Person of theContinue reading “The Holy Spirit”

Unless the Lord

God is the Alpha and Omega – that is the beginning and the end. We might think we are the centre of this world but we are not. We are simply part of this world, a piece in God’s manifold wisdom and creativity. This world was not created by us, for us and through usContinue reading “Unless the Lord”

Being pleasing to God

The saying “God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow” is as true today as it was yesterday. In our transient world and lives, we must remember this truth: God is our only constant. The same is also true of His ways, His methods, His commandments. What the Lord required in the past, He stillContinue reading “Being pleasing to God”

Praise the Lord!

This has been a themed recently in my life. Most scriptures I read this week had this theme, even the randomized bible passages on my YouVersion app were all in relation to praising God. I feel like the Holy Spirit has been reminding me lately to learn to praise the Lord constantly, not just onContinue reading “Praise the Lord!”

Steadfast obedience

Whenever God calls a person, He always provides the assurance the person needs. Moreover, He provides all that is necessary for the person to accomplish the work He has for them. You see this in the lives of Noah, Abraham, Moses, Joshua, David, Daniel, etc. The assignment of the person being called is simply toContinue reading “Steadfast obedience”

Seek first the kingdom of God

I have heard it say, there are certain positions that you do not seek but they come to you. Often times, people that have been given high positions like senators, presidents, or CEOs will tell you that they were offered the position. Someone told them to put their names down and eventually convinced them toContinue reading “Seek first the kingdom of God”
