These are the first verse from the hymn “Immortal Invisible” by Walter C. Smith which depicts the grandeur of the God we serve. This is not all that God is, for who can know the mind of God? Christians serve a God who cannot be described, cannot be contained in a box, cannot be understoodContinue reading “The wisdom of God”

The mystery of election
The bible is filled with this. It’s pervasive in its lines. Election, as defined by Benjamin Merkle is “God’s choice of individuals to receive his favor before they have done anything good or bad” [1]. The concept of election is really God’s right that He exercises over people. He chooses whom he wants as PaulContinue reading “The mystery of election”
For your good
The first time I heard the phrase ‘stayed on you’ was from a gospel song and I thought to myself ‘what kind of English is this?’ thinking at first that it was a mistake in the words being used. However, I remember being struck by the expression itself. And I often would find myself mullingContinue reading “For your good”
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”
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”
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”
A life of consecration
When we give our lives to Christ we become ‘slaves to righteousness’ (Romans 6:18). We change masters and move from the dominion of darkness to the kingdom of light (Colossians 1:14). This means, we no longer respond to the demands of our old master, we no longer obey him. In this case, our old masterContinue reading “A life of consecration”
