Change is something we humans do not like much. It makes us uncomfortable, uneasy, out of place and more. We are capable of fighting it, in fact we fight change with every fiber in our being, good or bad which is quite interesting. Whoever we are, we have a natural inclination to oppose change butContinue reading “Souls of men”

His mercies are new every morning
This blog is truly something the Lord Himself uses to teach me first and encourage others. I did not realize how He could use my failings for His glory yet the bible is filled with such references. I set out to write weekly as long as I am able and as long as the LordContinue reading “His mercies are new every morning”
Do not give up
The bible is filled with many exhortations about persevering, not giving up, holding on, waiting on the Lord, looking up to the Lord in times of trouble or when nothing is working. One would think with so many exhortations Christians would be experts at persevering and waiting on the Lord but that is sadly notContinue reading “Do not give up”
Fellowship
There is something powerful about the gathering of believers. When brothers and sisters come together to spend time in prayer and worship, something supernatural happens. God resides in their midst at that moment and is pleased to dwell there. As it says “Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel” (Psalm 22:3). WeContinue reading “Fellowship”
Glorifying God
The book of John is such an exceptional retelling of the life of Jesus that makes it hard to leave without seeing the heart of Jesus. Unlike the other gospels which focus on the facts surrounding what Jesus did, or which places he visited, or who he saved and performed miracles on, the book ofContinue reading “Glorifying God”
The light has come
We recently came off a sermon series at church called “CrossWords” which were essentially about the last words of Jesus on earth while he was on the cross. I am still amazed at how much truth and wisdom was shared from Jesus final words on the cross such as “I thirst”, “It is finished”, “FatherContinue reading “The light has come”
A living testimony
If there is someone during Jesus’ time who embodied that in the literal sense it is certainly Lazarus, Jesus’ friend and the brother of Martha and Mary. As Christians, our lives should be living testimonies of the grace and power of God at work in us. This is where we usually ask questions like “WhatContinue reading “A living testimony”
The offer of Jesus
One of the most profound lines from the song ‘How deep the father’s love’ is “why should I gain from his reward? I cannot give an answer but this I know with all my heart, his wounds have paid my ransom”. I find it to be profound because indeed we cannot fully grasp the reasonContinue reading “The offer of Jesus”
Why Easter?
“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9)” is a statement found in the book of Jeremiah. This week, in my bible reading in the book of Acts, I saw that statement in action. Paul and Barnabas had just healed a man crippled from birth in theContinue reading “Why Easter?”
A model relationship
As human beings, one thing we cannot do without is relationships because we are relational people. This is how we were created and it shows in the way we interact with others. When we are alone, we do not do well, we become depressive, as a matter of fact, the pandemic has shown too manyContinue reading “A model relationship”
