It is said that God loves everyone and that is true. Yet, when you read the bible you see something more profound. Psalm 127 verse 2 says “It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep” (emphasisContinue reading “God’s exclusive love”

The bible is a story about God’s love for His chosen people: the nation of Israel and those that would receive Him. It is a story that shows the depth of the love of God for His people. How He has gone overboard and beyond what we think is normal to win them over. ItContinue reading “God’s heart for the nations”

Throughout the gospels, as I read about the life of Jesus, I have come to be amazed at the knowledge Jesus had on everything and even more amazed at how that knowledge did not affect him nor affect his relations. We on the other hand, are avid knowledge seeker. We search for things, we discover,Continue reading “Knowledge that does not “puff up””

Everything that is done well in life requires preparation. Anything that is major or important in life requires preparation. Spontaneity is neither needed nor required for important events, preparation is. A good preparation involves planning, practice and readiness. The Olympics is a sport’s competition that shows us that. Athletes will come from various countries aroundContinue reading “Being ready.”

If there is a repeating truth I have been seeing in the gospels as I read them, it is that Jesus is above everything. Nothing is impossible to Him; nothing has the last word on Him. He is able to do more than what we think or imagine. Even death does not hold him back!Continue reading “The hope of Christ”

Throughout his ministry on earth, Jesus was in constant friction with people, whether they be Pharisees – leaders of the synagogue, upholders of the law of God – , doctors of the law, commoners or even his own siblings and family. Coming in contact with Jesus never left anyone indifferent; an encounter with Jesus alwaysContinue reading “The opposition of the kingdom of heaven”

As I read the gospels (Matthew, Luke, Mark and John), I am amazed at how much of Jesus’ life is a reflection of God. In Jesus, the world was able to see God, comprehend God, demystify God, show His character. Jesus made the ‘idea’ of God possible, what others had complicated, he simplified; what othersContinue reading “The compassion of God.”

I have recently begun to read the New Testament’s synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) as well as the book of John and they have been very enlightening so far. I have come to appreciate the different perspectives that Matthew, Mark, Luke and John bring while exposing the life of Jesus. It is fascinating howContinue reading “The beauty of witnesses.”

It is so interesting that a thing that stands out does so because it is different than the other things it is placed with. When a person stands out, he or she is displays something different than the others. There is something that distinguishes that person from the mass. It could be their character, itContinue reading “Standing Out”

There are not many things that man can do to “force” the hand of God. As a matter of fact, one would argue, it is impossible to “force” the hand of God. But I would like to suggest that there is one thing that you can do to “force” the hand of God, that is,Continue reading “Total devotion”
