I have been immersing myself in Genesis for a couple of months now and I am simply fascinated by the pruning character of God in the life of Abraham. God is always growing us into what he sees us as, becoming more and more like him and Abraham’s life was no exception. I have alreadyContinue reading “The evolution of faith”

The bible calls Abraham the father of faith, therefore his faith is a good indicator of how to have faith for those of us who seem to lack this crucial ingredient of the Christian walk. I have been reading in the book of Genesis lately and had the opportunity to consider Abraham. I will shareContinue reading “Faith like Abraham”

There are many religions in the world, and most of them have to do with a deity of some sort. Religion, as defined by Merriam-Webster is “an organized system of beliefs, ceremonies, and rules used to worship a god or a group of gods”. It has, sets of rules and ways of practice one mustContinue reading “The pitfalls of religion”

The human race was created distinctly from other species we have in the earth by God. What makes humans different is that humans are made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27), they are therefore image bearers of God. No wonder one of God’s first command to humans was to subdue the earth, they wereContinue reading “Image bearers”

The account of the creation in the book of Genesis is one of the most astounding stories of the bible. It is almost impossible to read it and not ponder about the excellency of God. In all that God does, there is nothing to add, nothing to subtract, it is just perfect. What God doesContinue reading “The beauty of God”

It has been said many times, God’s timing is not ours. In fact, it does not have to be said, if you are alive and human, chances are you have experienced that fact. Many of our plans have a way of not being executed according to our wills, rather they get to be executed accordingContinue reading “God’s timing”

The book of Revelation is written by John who was the “beloved disciple” of Jesus and the author of the book of John and the epistles of John. It is also comprised of many visions that John saw and was asked to reveal to the churches. This was probably also towards the end of hisContinue reading “The revelation of Jesus Christ”

One thing the apostles often cautioned against is false teachers and their teachings. Paul, Peter, James, Jude, and John all warned believers against false teachers. Paul’s letters alone amount to much of this warning. I don’t think there is a letter of Paul that does not contain a level of warning against false teachers. ThisContinue reading “False teachers and false teachings”

It will take more than a blog post to begin to describe the person of Jesus Christ and what he did. The perfect sacrifice of Christ on the cross is not something we should get tired of. Reading the book of Hebrews this week reminded me of the power that is in the act ofContinue reading “The pre-eminent Christ.”

The more I read the epistles, the more I am amazed at Paul. He exhibited Christ in his character and in the way he lived. He was a good shepherd in the sense that he cared very deeply about the churches he planted and the ones he did not plant like Colossae (Colossians 1:7). InContinue reading “The importance of the gospel”
