I have recently started reading the book of Revelation and every time I do, it seems the book opens to me in a new way. While I am not yet deep in the book, I thought it would be interesting to share what I have noticed so far in the first two chapters and howContinue reading “Waiting for the Lord’s Return”

God’s way versus the way of the world
Aside from Christianity, I do not know of any religion that will ask you to count the cost of your decision to believe in God. One thing that is clear with the bible is that it will ask you hard questions, you will be confronted with existential questions that will force you to make aContinue reading “God’s way versus the way of the world”
Fighting for the word
A key attitude of the early followers of Christ, particularly his apostles was their high regard for the teachings of Christ. Many of them spent years devoting themselves to the teaching of Christ and ensuring the churches remained faithful to it amidst new ways of thinking that were springing up. Paul, Peter and Jude, toContinue reading “Fighting for the word”
Righteous Living – the portion of the just
This is the call of the Christian, to live righteously in this world as we await the coming of our King and the fulfillment of all that is ours in Christ Jesus. Indeed, anyone who has crossed over from death to life through Jesus’ sacrifice knows he or she has become a new creature andContinue reading “Righteous Living – the portion of the just”
The Father’s love
“How deep the Father’s love for us, how vast beyond all measure! That He would give His only Son to make a wretch His treasure”. These are words taken from the famous hymn “How Deep the Father’s love” and they depict the depth and breadth of God’s love or at least they attempt to. LikeContinue reading “The Father’s love”
Unwanted Emotions

In this making of us, the Lord added our senses, our feelings and emotions, He gave each one of us a specific personality and character traits, all this as a wayContinue reading “Unwanted Emotions”
Quit striving after the wind
One of the Verse of the Day this week from the YouVersion bible app was “Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, the God who is our salvation. Selah.” (Psalms 68:19). The word or phrase that caught my attention in that verse was “who daily bears our burden” signifying that God Himself dailyContinue reading “Quit striving after the wind”
Fight!
I feel like I am wrestling with God. Actually, it’s not just me but my family and I are, at least that’s the feeling. On a personal level, I believe I have been on this “in-between” phase where it seems nothing is going on, yet much is happening for a while. It’s quite an interestingContinue reading “Fight!”
Living with Hope
The world we live in is full of surprises, you never know what you’ll get. I suppose for those of us that are in Christ, it’s only in heaven that we’ll be able to realize our rest and also understand what was going on/what we went through. For now, we get to enjoy whatever lotContinue reading “Living with Hope”
In the Storm
I have not had a chance to write this week as I would normally due to unforeseen events. However, I wanted to declare the goodness of God over this past week in my life. You see, my family is going through a challenging time and it seems attacks are coming from everywhere. Yet, in theContinue reading “In the Storm”
