The Corruption of Sin

The book of Jeremiah, in addition to being a prophetic book is a book that displays the corruption that lies in man. In this book, we see the deceitfulness of man and the love of pleasure that slowly and surely brings him into destruction. The love of the world and self is made apparent inContinue reading “The Corruption of Sin”

The Heart of Man

The Bible has an unapologetically way of describing the condition of man, his heart and states it to be evil. In fact, as I was reading Jeremiah this week, I landed upon the famous verse that says “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?” (Jeremiah 17:9). This is quiteContinue reading “The Heart of Man”

Thanksgiving

Christians are redeemed people – redeemed from the wrath of God that stands upon any man because of his sins which separates him from a holy and righteous God and brings a judgement upon him for his evil actions. Truly, Christians are set apart from the rest of the world because they act differently, theyContinue reading “Thanksgiving”

The heart of God

Throughout the Bible, there are many stories that depict the character of God. At its core, the Bible is the story of a Husband who pursues His Bride which started with the people of Israel. This love story is what we would call “complicated” as the love is often one-sided and filled with disappointments forContinue reading “The heart of God”

God’s Unchanging Character

In my reading of Isaiah this week, I was struck by a verse that says, “You come to the help of those who do right, who remember your ways” (Isaiah 64:5). Another translation says, “you meet him who joyfully works righteousness, those who remember you in your ways” (ESV). This latter translation jumped out evenContinue reading “God’s Unchanging Character”

The Sabbath, a Day of rest

We often declare “God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow” without really thinking about the implications of such a statement. Often times, when that statement is made, it is as a way to encourage the hearer that what God did in the past, He is still capable of doing today. Most of us believersContinue reading “The Sabbath, a Day of rest”

Fear is not your portion

As the title of this blog post suggests: “Fear is not your portion” if you are in Christ. Indeed, as a believer in the LORDJesus, there is no such thing as fear because our saviour and LORD has defeated any enemy we could have. He defeated sickness, defeated pain and suffering, defeated anxiety, defeated poverty, defeated fear andContinue reading “Fear is not your portion”

Who is Like God?

Humans are a very proud species. There is not a single human being that does not fall prey to this gangrene that is pride. Most of our actions, if not all are tainted with it. It shows itself in various ways, to the point that it can be hard to discern at first. For example,Continue reading “Who is Like God?”

Still Standing

If there is something that I take comfort in in the Christian life, it is that Christians are never completely down. We are never out of the picture, the enemy may think he has finished us, but we always get back up. I have the image of a boxing match where we are fighting withContinue reading “Still Standing”

Being Watchful

“The fool speaks folly, and his heart is busy with iniquity, to practice ungodliness, to utter error concerning the LORD, to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied, and to deprive the thirsty of drink” (Isaiah 32:6). What a horrifying description of a fool that is! Have you ever thought of a fool as someone whoContinue reading “Being Watchful”
