I have been reading the book of Romans and in this book, a topic that comes often is the topic of salvation. In the book, Paul goes at length to expound on who we are before God, how we are saved, what happens to us when we are saved and how we should live onceContinue reading “The law of sin vs the law of God”

Waging War
In his second letter to the church of Corinth, Paul tells us that we do not wage war according to the flesh even though we walk in the flesh (2 Corinthians 10:3). What exactly did Paul mean by that and what war does he refer to? Are Christians in a war? The Bible tells usContinue reading “Waging War”
Seeing as we are seen
The more I read the word of God, the more it is evident that our ways are not His ways. Far too often in biblical stories you see the gap between how people viewed a situation or themselves and how God viewed them or their situation, the results are always drastically different. When we areContinue reading “Seeing as we are seen”
The Blessing of Hospitality
In addition to studying the word of God daily, a spiritual discipline I started incorporating in my habits is to read through the Bible in a year. This is me simply listening to the word of God without necessarily meditating or studying. It is a habit that forces me to be filled with the word.Continue reading “The Blessing of Hospitality”
Know the LORD is LORD
Throughout the Bible and specifically in the prophetic books including the Psalms, there is a statement from the LORD that is repeated several times: “Then you will know that I am the LORD” (Ezekiel 25:7), or “They will know that I am the LORD…” (Ezekiel 25:17). The book of Ezekiel certainly did not escape thisContinue reading “Know the LORD is LORD”
Be Still
More than a posture, it is a command from the LORD our God. As the creator of heaven and earth, He says “Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” (Psalm 46:10). Although this is a well-known verse, it is nonetheless seldom obeyedContinue reading “Be Still”
The Art of Lamenting
The second book of Jeremiah is called Lamentations. It is a book that relieves and cries at the state of Judah who went from being “the apple of the Lord’s eyes” to His enemies. In it, Jeremiah recalls the height from which Jerusalem has fallen down, he brings us closer into what being separated fromContinue reading “The Art of Lamenting”
In Ending Jeremiah
The book of Jeremiah ends with a succession of judgement prophecies on Israel’s enemies’ nations (see chapters forty-six through fifty-one). The LORD in His justice will not let the guilty go unpunished nor the sins of the guilty unaccounted for. In enacting His judgement, the LORD started first with His people and then moved toContinue reading “In Ending Jeremiah”
Hardened Hearts
Love is one of the main attributes of God displayed in the Bible. It is impossible to read the Bible without seeing countless upon countless examples of the love of God. Theologians have often coined the Bible as a love story between God and his people. Indeed, one of the most popular verses in theContinue reading “Hardened Hearts”
Working out your salvation
One of the qualities that are unique to God is that He does wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful and sure (Isaiah 25:1). Indeed, He is the only God who announces what He will do before He does what He says He will do. Moreover, when what He announces comes to pass, it stillContinue reading “Working out your salvation”
