If there is a theme in the book of Proverbs is the call to love righteousness and everything that it entails. We learn that the righteous loves wisdom, seeks after it; the righteous loves understanding, he goes after it; the righteous loves justice; the righteous loves rebuke for he knows it is good for him;Continue reading “Love Righteousness”

The Path of the Righteous
One of the passages that is coming to mind as I start to type the title of this post is found in 1 John and it says “the commands of the Lord are not burdensome.” (1 John 5:3) and there is another one in Psalm 119 that says “your testimonies are wonderful; therefore my soulContinue reading “The Path of the Righteous”
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”
Biblical Generosity
“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”
Freedom is your portion
Paul opens the fifth chapter of the book of Galatians with this bold statement: “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.” (Galatians 5:1). There is no other reason why we have been set free, except to be free! The sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Son of God on the cross did moreContinue reading “Freedom is your portion”
On living sacrificially
I don’t know of anyone in the bible whose passion for the gospel surpassed that of Paul. It is clear that the encounter Paul had with Jesus radically changed his life to the point that he would boldly declare “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.Continue reading “On living sacrificially”
On the flesh
We live in the end times and more than ever, I believe it is time for the church, the bride of Jesus Christ to get herself ready for the day of the Lord. Part of getting herself ready is by learning to submit herself to the teaching of the Lord, learning to die to herself.Continue reading “On the flesh”
The wisdom of God
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”
