If there is a theme that has come up again and again in my scripture reading time this week, it’s the immutable character of God. From the psalms to Malachi where I camped, I kept hearing this concept. What does it mean that God is immutable? Are there any implications to that character of HisContinue reading “Immutable and omnipresent God”

A job well done
As believers in the Lord, we all aspire to have these words said to us by our heavenly Father: “well done, good and faithful servant… enter into your master’s rest” (Matthew 25:23). This is honourable and we should seek this praise from our Lord. However, to attain such a praise is not an easy taskContinue reading “A job well done”
Delighting in the Word
There are not many characters in the bible that are known to be well versed in the Law of Moses or in the word of God. Whenever there is one, it is always mentioned as though to remind us that it is not a common thing. Well, Ezra is one of those who were highlightedContinue reading “Delighting in the Word”
In Christ
Many Christians today are benefactors of the work of Christ on the cross but sadly many do not take the time to appreciate what Christ did and many do not really understand the positive consequence of what he did on the cross for us. We either fall on the side of numbness because we haveContinue reading “In Christ”
A call to rest
I have been privileged to attend a retreat organized by my church this weekend. It was not a full weekend retreat, and it was not wired to a specific audience, rather it was a church wide retreat where both single, married, families and kids could come together as one and get to know one anotherContinue reading “A call to rest”
Humble yourself
Those of us who are familiar with the bible know that one of the attitudes the Lord requires of us is humility. The bible is filled with passages reminding us to be humble because the Lord gives grace to such people (James 4:6). Plus, humility is our rightful position as we are not gods andContinue reading “Humble yourself”
The resolve of faithful servants
“Be holy, because I am holy”. This command is stated in the book of 1 Peter and references the command by God to the Israelites in the book of Leviticus. The sentiment echoed here is the same for us believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. We too are to be holy for our God isContinue reading “The resolve of faithful servants”
The favoured ones
There are many stories of people in the bible who were shown favour by God. Many of these men and women were used by God for His purposes. I have started reading the book of Daniel and I am fascinated by it. Daniel and his friends are peculiar in every way. They stand out inContinue reading “The favoured ones”
Taking God at His word
As Christians, we are called to take God at His words, simply put, we are called to obey. Because we live by faith and not by sight, that obedience might look crazy to the eyes of this world including our own nevertheless that is what we must do. However, I suspect our problem with thatContinue reading “Taking God at His word”
God with us.
“Fear not” or “Be strong and courageous” have to be some of the most repeated commands in the bible. One reason God always add to such commands is that: He is with us. I personally love how God says it in Isaiah “For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is IContinue reading “God with us.”
