The righteousness of God
There are certain passages in the Bible that stand out when I read them or at least they always cause me to think whenever I hear them. At times, they can even cause me to cringe. I know I am not the only one. One such passage is from the book of Hebrews, and itContinue reading “The righteousness of God”
Talk to me about Jesus
Have you ever wondered what your response would be if you were asked by someone whether a stranger or someone you know to talk to you about Jesus? Would it be a quick four points gospel presentation? A speech about what Jesus has done for you? How he makes you feel? Who he is? WhoContinue reading “Talk to me about Jesus”
Holding Fast until the End
As I close my time in Psalm 119, there have been a few themes that have come up as the psalmist wraps up his tribute to the word of God. These themes include steadfastness in our devotion to God’s law or steadfastness in keeping the faith and not neglecting to call on the LORD inContinue reading “Holding Fast until the End”
A Framework for Repentance
The diversity of the Psalms truly makes them one of the books of the Bible that are applicable to most aspects if not all aspects of life. In general, psalms are songs of praise and worship, but they are also prayers and supplications to the LORD.

Many of the Psalms that I have read so far if not all have been written by King David and as such, I have had the privilege to know more about him through hisContinue reading “The Confidence of the Righteous”
Seeing as we are seen
The more I read the word of God, the more it is evident that our ways are not His ways. Far too often in biblical stories you see the gap between how people viewed a situation or themselves and how God viewed them or their situation, the results are always drastically different. When we areContinue reading “Seeing as we are seen”
The Art of Lamenting
The second book of Jeremiah is called Lamentations. It is a book that relieves and cries at the state of Judah who went from being “the apple of the Lord’s eyes” to His enemies. In it, Jeremiah recalls the height from which Jerusalem has fallen down, he brings us closer into what being separated fromContinue reading “The Art of Lamenting”
The Corruption of Sin
The book of Jeremiah, in addition to being a prophetic book is a book that displays the corruption that lies in man. In this book, we see the deceitfulness of man and the love of pleasure that slowly and surely brings him into destruction. The love of the world and self is made apparent inContinue reading “The Corruption of Sin”
