In my reading of Isaiah this week, I was struck by a verse that says, “You come to the help of those who do right, who remember your ways” (Isaiah 64:5). Another translation says, “you meet him who joyfully works righteousness, those who remember you in your ways” (ESV). This latter translation jumped out evenContinue reading “God’s Unchanging Character”

The Day of the Lord
The Bible talks about a day that is specific to the Lord. This is a day that the Lord will use to judge the people and set things straight. It is also a day that the Lord will use to vindicate his people. Many of the Old Testament prophets have warned the people of IsraelContinue reading “The Day of the Lord”
Unwanted Emotions
We are made in the image of God and we are, as the word of God tells us “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14). In this making of us, the Lord added our senses, our feelings and emotions, He gave each one of us a specific personality and character traits, all this as a wayContinue reading “Unwanted Emotions”
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”
Merry Christmas!
You might have noticed the lack of post in the past week. I am currently away on vacation visiting family after several years. What this means is that I do not have time to sit and write. To make matters worse, the internet quality is very poor where I am and difficult to access. TheseContinue reading “Merry Christmas!”
Contending for the Faith
If you are like me, then you have questioned yourself about the idea of contending for the faith. Why should we contend for the faith? If Jesus has already done the work, why do we still have to do any fighting? What does it mean to contend for the faith? What is the faith weContinue reading “Contending for the Faith”
In the spirit of Thanksgiving
As I reflect on this week, I stand amazed at how many things I can thank God for. In a week, the Lord has proven to be faithful in all His dealings towards me. I do not deserve any of His goodness and care over my life yet that is what I get. As weContinue reading “In the spirit of Thanksgiving”
Taking God for granted
It is not uncommon to us to be familiar with what we have whether it be people, things, accomplishments, etc. We are people of routine, we do not like change and so we would go the extra mile to ensure our habits are not altered. This kind of attitude has made change management difficult toContinue reading “Taking God for granted”
The light shines in darkness
The bible is such an incredible book. In it you find both the “what actually happened / what you did” versus “what should have happened / what you were supposed to do” scenarios. The bible gives us a full picture of what life should look like for the child of God. It is also aContinue reading “The light shines in darkness”
He Is Faithful
God always accomplishes His word. That is how we know He is faithful. One of the main differences between us – image bearers and God is his ability to remain true to His words irrespective of what happens as it says in 2 Timothy “if we are faithless, he remains faithful for he cannot denyContinue reading “He Is Faithful”
