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”
Thanksgiving
Christians are redeemed people – redeemed from the wrath of God that stands upon any man because of his sins which separates him from a holy and righteous God and brings a judgement upon him for his evil actions. Truly, Christians are set apart from the rest of the world because they act differently, theyContinue reading “Thanksgiving”
Still Standing
If there is something that I take comfort in in the Christian life, it is that Christians are never completely down. We are never out of the picture, the enemy may think he has finished us, but we always get back up. I have the image of a boxing match where we are fighting withContinue reading “Still Standing”
The importance of identity
Human beings are fascinated with history. We love to record it, study it and learn from it.

Eyes on the Prize
This week I was pondering upon Solomon’s life. I did not randomly start thinking about Solomon but as I read the ending of his life in 1 Kings 11 and 2 Chronicles, I could not help but wonder how he managed to fall so miserably. Since he was the wisest man the earth has everContinue reading “Eyes on the Prize”
Clinging to His words
The book of Daniel is probably the only book of the Bible with the most supernatural elements. From dreams to visions, to manifestations of those, there is indeed quite a lot to grasp. If we are honest, much of the content on the visions and dreams laid out in the book of Daniel does notContinue reading “Clinging to His words”
The Pursuit of holiness
“I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). This statement of Jesus is one that many take offence at. Because his claims are outright exclusive, authoritative and appear arrogant, people tend to resent him and Christianity for that. However, throughout his life,Continue reading “The Pursuit of holiness”
