“The quality of being kind and generous” that is the definition of generosity according to Google. But what is generosity? The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it as being “liberal in giving: openhanded” or “marked by abundance or ample proportions”. From that definition, it seems generosity is only spoken of when there is “abundance” or “ample proportions”.Continue reading “Biblical Generosity”

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”
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”
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”
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”

One would think with so many exhortations Christians would be experts at persevering and waiting on the Lord but that is sadly notContinue reading “Do not give up”
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”
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”
The benefits of scripture memorization
One of my goals this year is to memorize the book of Colossians. The practice of memorization is not an easy one because you constantly have to go back to what you have memorized otherwise you lose it. In fact I was chatting with an almost teenage child at church who supported that idea. ThatContinue reading “The benefits of scripture memorization”
Coming to Jesus
One of the verses in the bible that shows God’s matchlessness is found in Isaiah and it says “‘For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways’, declares the LORD. ‘As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than yourContinue reading “Coming to Jesus”
