Back to the beginning.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning (John1:1-2)”. I don’t think there is a more glorious introduction in the entire bible than this one. John really nailed what it means to set the scene, get the readers’ attention,Continue reading “Back to the beginning.”

The oxymoron of active waiting and the privilege of participating in the enactment of God’s promises.

Waiting in the bible is an action. At the same time, waiting is passive – to be still. So how is it that the same word can both mean to be still and to act? As much as God wants to be the one to get the glory for what He accomplishes in your life,Continue reading “The oxymoron of active waiting and the privilege of participating in the enactment of God’s promises.”

Rejoice always!

When was the last time you rejoiced at something? I am not talking about laughing, but truly rejoicing, celebrating, being joyful about something or someone? I think our lives are filled with mundane tasks that often seem irrelevant and we don’t even seem to find joy in those. We take many things for granted. WeContinue reading “Rejoice always!”

The depth of the love of God.

Sin, the condition that separates us from a Holy God. Sin, the action of doing anything contrary to the commandments and will of God. Sin, the blatant disobedience to God which often looks good and quite frankly at times feels good. So much can be said about this powerful force that is in us. ItContinue reading “The depth of the love of God.”

The way of excellence

I want to talk about humility today. I know this word is not very popular in our culture. For some, even the thought of it makes them cringe. I don’t know how we got to that. Humility comes from the Latin word humilis which means “low” (Merriam-webster). Therefore, humility in its simplest form can beContinue reading “The way of excellence”

Receiving our reward.

The concept of reward although present in the old testament does not seem to be as frequently mentioned as it is in the new testament. Starting from the gospels to the epistles, the idea of Christians being rewarded is quite ubiquitous. But what is the reward to be looking forward to? Who gives us theContinue reading “Receiving our reward.”

Gratefulness

As I write this today, my heart is full. Full because of the goodness of the Lord in my life. Full because of all the good things of the Lord in my life. Sometimes, I simply sit and stand amazed at how much I am loved. These good things revolve around his blessing through myContinue reading “Gratefulness”

Vengeance is the Lord’s

We serve a jealous God. He is not one to share his glory with another. God delights in himself. He is full and self-sufficient. He does not need anything from man, in fact nothing that we give him adds a thing to himself, His life or all that He is. Should we then be surprisedContinue reading “Vengeance is the Lord’s”

Building character.

As humans we are constantly evolving, learning, and developing. It seems we were made for that very purpose of constantly looking for the next thing, never getting satisfied with what we have. And I believe it is a good thing. To not be satisfied with your current state, striving to learn more, to know more,Continue reading “Building character.”

Every careless word.

First of, Happy Easter! This is a celebration that will never get old and of which we must never forget. The God man came into the earth to save sinners like you and me to reconcile them to Himself! Today, I would like to talk about our words and the impact they have on usContinue reading “Every careless word.”
