One of the passages that is coming to mind as I start to type the title of this post is found in 1 John and it says “the commands of the Lord are not burdensome.” (1 John 5:3) and there is another one in Psalm 119 that says “your testimonies are wonderful; therefore my soulContinue reading “The Path of the Righteous”

Delighting in the Lord
If there is anything that the bible tells us to do it is to delight ourselves in the Lord (Psalm 37:4). If you are like me, you might wonder what that means. Perhaps, you have even searched for passages that talk about delighting yourself in the Lord or examples of men and women who haveContinue reading “Delighting in the Lord”
Being led astray
If there was ever a redundant theme in the New Testament letters, it was the warning on false doctrines and false teachers. The second letter of Paul to the Corinthian church is no exception (2 Corinthians 11:3). As important as it is to not deviate from the truth, what stroked me from the warning wasContinue reading “Being led astray”
The character trait of a servant
I have been studying the second letter of Paul to the church of Corinth lately and I was struck by the character trait of a servant I saw spelled out by Paul. Indeed, in our Christian walk, the servant is the greatest. Jesus told his disciples that whoever wanted to be first must be aContinue reading “The character trait of a servant”
Testing the spirits
Much can be said about Christians, but one thing that couldn’t be further from the truth is that Christians got into their faith blindly. Indeed, Jesus is the only leader who demands that his followers know what they are getting themselves into. He calls his followers to count the cost attached to following him. JesusContinue reading “Testing the spirits”
Freedom is your portion
Paul opens the fifth chapter of the book of Galatians with this bold statement: “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.” (Galatians 5:1). There is no other reason why we have been set free, except to be free! The sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Son of God on the cross did moreContinue reading “Freedom is your portion”
Going back to the Source
We talk about it, we sing about it, we “feel” it, we say that is all we need in life, we say that it is stronger than hate, we say that it is the antidote to the many wars we have but I wonder, how many of us actually know what love is and howContinue reading “Going back to the Source”
On living sacrificially
I don’t know of anyone in the bible whose passion for the gospel surpassed that of Paul. It is clear that the encounter Paul had with Jesus radically changed his life to the point that he would boldly declare “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.Continue reading “On living sacrificially”
On the flesh
We live in the end times and more than ever, I believe it is time for the church, the bride of Jesus Christ to get herself ready for the day of the Lord. Part of getting herself ready is by learning to submit herself to the teaching of the Lord, learning to die to herself.Continue reading “On the flesh”
Your affections for Christ
When we are in Christ, we become the Lord Jesus’ slave which is to say we become a ‘slave to righteousness’ (Romans 6:18). What a great condition! We are bound to only be righteous, doing anything other than righteousness becomes unlike us. It is quite beautiful when you think about it, we who were ounceContinue reading “Your affections for Christ”
