“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”
God with us.
“Fear not” or “Be strong and courageous” have to be some of the most repeated commands in the bible. One reason God always add to such commands is that: He is with us. I personally love how God says it in Isaiah “For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is IContinue reading “God with us.”
Be Alert. Be Focused.
Our world offers many forms of distraction. With the technology advances in particular like the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and social media, it seems everything is often vying for our attention. Whether it is the gadgets we carry (phones, tablets, smart watches, etc.), the media and entertainment we absorb, the work weContinue reading “Be Alert. Be Focused.”
Introduction to the book of Ezekiel
God moves in mysterious ways and He speaks to us in many forms. He is inexhaustible as Trip Lee had coined. His wisdom is so infinite you can never see Him coming. This week, I was reminded of how good God is and how He orchestrates situations in the background simply to bless us. AsContinue reading “Introduction to the book of Ezekiel”
The Longsuffering God
Patience is the capacity, habit or act of being patient as defined by Merriam-Webster. According to the same dictionary, to be patient then is to 1) bear pain or trials calmly without complaints; 2) manifest forbearance under provocation or strain; 3) not be hasty or impetuous; 4) remain steadfast despite opposition, difficulty or adversity; 5)Continue reading “The Longsuffering God”
Salvation belongs to our God
One of the many characters of God is that He is Yeshua, the “God who saves”. Indeed, throughout the bible we are told that “vengeance is the Lord’s” (Romans 12:19) or that “salvation belongs to the Lord” (Psalm 3:8). Two of the most prominent voices in the bible that incarnate that concept of salvation belongingContinue reading “Salvation belongs to our God”
