I was hopping on the bus this week and I saw on a young passenger’s bag a pin with the words “Be ready at all times” and I thought to myself, “isn’t that appropriate!” It is exactly what the Lord is asking us to do in these times. We have to be ready, that isContinue reading “Be Ready!”
More than a Saviour
The greatest act of love we know is from Jesus dying on the cross to save mankind from their sins. One of the reasons it is extraordinary is because Jesus died for his enemies, the ones who killed him.

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”

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it as being “liberal in giving: openhanded” or “marked by abundance or ample proportions”.
