These are the first verse from the hymn “Immortal Invisible” by Walter C. Smith which depicts the grandeur of the God we serve. This is not all that God is, for who can know the mind of God? Christians serve a God who cannot be described, cannot be contained in a box, cannot be understoodContinue reading “The wisdom of God”

The mystery of election
The bible is filled with this. It’s pervasive in its lines. Election, as defined by Benjamin Merkle is “God’s choice of individuals to receive his favor before they have done anything good or bad” [1]. The concept of election is really God’s right that He exercises over people. He chooses whom he wants as PaulContinue reading “The mystery of election”
Souls of men
Change is something we humans do not like much. It makes us uncomfortable, uneasy, out of place and more. We are capable of fighting it, in fact we fight change with every fiber in our being, good or bad which is quite interesting. Whoever we are, we have a natural inclination to oppose change butContinue reading “Souls of men”
The light has come
We recently came off a sermon series at church called “CrossWords” which were essentially about the last words of Jesus on earth while he was on the cross. I am still amazed at how much truth and wisdom was shared from Jesus final words on the cross such as “I thirst”, “It is finished”, “FatherContinue reading “The light has come”
The offer of Jesus
One of the most profound lines from the song ‘How deep the father’s love’ is “why should I gain from his reward? I cannot give an answer but this I know with all my heart, his wounds have paid my ransom”. I find it to be profound because indeed we cannot fully grasp the reasonContinue reading “The offer of Jesus”
Why Easter?
“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9)” is a statement found in the book of Jeremiah. This week, in my bible reading in the book of Acts, I saw that statement in action. Paul and Barnabas had just healed a man crippled from birth in theContinue reading “Why Easter?”
Be expectant.
The gospel of John is probably the only gospel that introduces Jesus holistically. In it, we get to see his humanity in a deeper way as John describes his many acts yet at the same time we see his deity portrayed throughout the book and established by John in the opening lines. John was certainlyContinue reading “Be expectant.”
The spiritual discipline of prayer
This is one of the spiritual disciplines that most Christians struggle with irrespective of their denominations. Yet it is one of the most powerful spiritual disciplines and one that the Lord expects his followers to continue to do. I wonder why this is a difficult discipline to do for Christians considering that prayer is notContinue reading “The spiritual discipline of prayer”
The main thing
This life is unpredictable. You can never tell what will happen next. Even when you plan things out carefully, there is always a chance that things might not turn the way you expect it to. Not a single person’s life is the same, not even ones from the same womb like twins. It is fascinatingContinue reading “The main thing”
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”
