“I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). This statement of Jesus is one that many take offence at. Because his claims are outright exclusive, authoritative and appear arrogant, people tend to resent him and Christianity for that. However, throughout his life,Continue reading “The Pursuit of holiness”

Humility: the portion of the Christian
It has been a month since my last post. Life got busy and sadly, I was not able to set time aside to write nor was I in the capacity to do so. However, in all this busyness, I am thankful that the Lord was continually with me, He never left me and unlike me,Continue reading “Humility: the portion of the Christian”
On Abiding
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”
Legacy
This weekend, my church is celebrating its 110th anniversary! I know, it is a big deal, and it is on a personal level a privilege to be part of it. One thing I am most grateful for is the legacy it is leaving behind which is one of faithfulness in the Lord. Not many ofContinue reading “Legacy”
Which Side are you On?
Despite the current trends of the world where nothing can ever be known for sure, the Bible is very clear. There is no confusion in that book whether it is gender, or marriage, sexuality, finances, race, you name it. There is a disparity that is quite flagrant between what the Bible teaches and what ourContinue reading “Which Side are you On?”
Victorious God
The book of Revelation is many things but boring! There is just so much going on in the book and the imageries that are painted, the description given of beings that are seen by the author John are almost impossible to picture. It is a book that makes you work your imagination for sure. WhatContinue reading “Victorious God”
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. To all those who would believe in him, including his enemies, he gave a new life,Continue reading “More than a Saviour”
The Father’s love
“How deep the Father’s love for us, how vast beyond all measure! That He would give His only Son to make a wretch His treasure”. These are words taken from the famous hymn “How Deep the Father’s love” and they depict the depth and breadth of God’s love or at least they attempt to. LikeContinue reading “The Father’s love”
In the Storm
I have not had a chance to write this week as I would normally due to unforeseen events. However, I wanted to declare the goodness of God over this past week in my life. You see, my family is going through a challenging time and it seems attacks are coming from everywhere. Yet, in theContinue reading “In the Storm”
The Ways of the Lord
If you surrender your life to the Lord, expect to be challenged. This is a given, for your desires will often be in conflict with the will of the Lord. Also, because His ways are not our ways (Isaiah 55:9), it is clear that His commands will not seem right to you upfront. They couldContinue reading “The Ways of the Lord”
