This past week was tough. I was not in the best of shape physically and to make matters worse I had agreed to support a family member in some spiritual exercise so I had to be on my A-game. Unfortunately, I was just weak, physically, spiritually and mentally. I did not feel like pushing, inContinue reading “On Abiding”

The Cry to Abide
“May I abide in you”. That is the cry of my heart. Although, this is a touching cry and longing, it does not matter how pious my words are, it does not matter how true my words are, it does not matter how deep my words are, nor does it matter how heartfelt my wordsContinue reading “The Cry to Abide”
The New Thing
Prophecies have this particularity that they make you look forward to a thing, they increase your longing and expectation so that you do not grow complacent and give up. That is why, the Bible is filled with prophecies about what the Lord will do, the return of Christ and the judgement that is coming. Moreover,Continue reading “The New Thing”
Be Ready!
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!”

While I am not yet deep in the book, I thought it would be interesting to share what I have noticed so far in the first two chapters and howContinue reading “Waiting for the Lord’s Return”
Fighting for the word
A key attitude of the early followers of Christ, particularly his apostles was their high regard for the teachings of Christ. Many of them spent years devoting themselves to the teaching of Christ and ensuring the churches remained faithful to it amidst new ways of thinking that were springing up. Paul, Peter and Jude, toContinue reading “Fighting for the word”
Fight!
I feel like I am wrestling with God. Actually, it’s not just me but my family and I are, at least that’s the feeling. On a personal level, I believe I have been on this “in-between” phase where it seems nothing is going on, yet much is happening for a while. It’s quite an interestingContinue reading “Fight!”
Love Righteousness
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”
