The way of the LORD is sure to make one pause and question oneself because it is often contrary, if not always to human logic or rationale. Many of the prophets in the Bible had to do things that were non sensical to our intelligent brains. Indeed, to the LORD, the wisdom of this worldContinue reading “Boasting in the Flesh”

Being Watchful
“The fool speaks folly, and his heart is busy with iniquity, to practice ungodliness, to utter error concerning the LORD, to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied, and to deprive the thirsty of drink” (Isaiah 32:6). What a horrifying description of a fool that is! Have you ever thought of a fool as someone whoContinue reading “Being Watchful”
The Pursuit of holiness
“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”
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”
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”
God’s way versus the way of the world
Aside from Christianity, I do not know of any religion that will ask you to count the cost of your decision to believe in God. One thing that is clear with the bible is that it will ask you hard questions, you will be confronted with existential questions that will force you to make aContinue reading “God’s way versus the way of the world”
When life throws you a curveball
Trusting in the Lord is what the Christian should do. There is no other way around it. The fact that the bible repeats it often also means it is not the norm yet it is crucial if we want to live under the kingship of the Lord Jesus Christ. Something that I have come toContinue reading “When life throws you a curveball”
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”
Being led astray
If there was ever a redundant theme in the New Testament letters, it was the warning on false doctrines and false teachers. The second letter of Paul to the Corinthian church is no exception (2 Corinthians 11:3). As important as it is to not deviate from the truth, what stroked me from the warning wasContinue reading “Being led astray”
Your affections for Christ
When we are in Christ, we become the Lord Jesus’ slave which is to say we become a ‘slave to righteousness’ (Romans 6:18). What a great condition! We are bound to only be righteous, doing anything other than righteousness becomes unlike us. It is quite beautiful when you think about it, we who were ounceContinue reading “Your affections for Christ”
