Sin, the condition that separates us from a Holy God. Sin, the action of doing anything contrary to the commandments and will of God. Sin, the blatant disobedience to God which often looks good and quite frankly at times feels good. So much can be said about this powerful force that is in us. ItContinue reading “The depth of the love of God.”

The way of excellence
I want to talk about humility today. I know this word is not very popular in our culture. For some, even the thought of it makes them cringe. I don’t know how we got to that. Humility comes from the Latin word humilis which means “low” (Merriam-webster). Therefore, humility in its simplest form can beContinue reading “The way of excellence”
Receiving our reward.
The concept of reward although present in the old testament does not seem to be as frequently mentioned as it is in the new testament. Starting from the gospels to the epistles, the idea of Christians being rewarded is quite ubiquitous. But what is the reward to be looking forward to? Who gives us theContinue reading “Receiving our reward.”
Gratefulness
As I write this today, my heart is full. Full because of the goodness of the Lord in my life. Full because of all the good things of the Lord in my life. Sometimes, I simply sit and stand amazed at how much I am loved. These good things revolve around his blessing through myContinue reading “Gratefulness”
Vengeance is the Lord’s
We serve a jealous God. He is not one to share his glory with another. God delights in himself. He is full and self-sufficient. He does not need anything from man, in fact nothing that we give him adds a thing to himself, His life or all that He is. Should we then be surprisedContinue reading “Vengeance is the Lord’s”
Building character.
As humans we are constantly evolving, learning, and developing. It seems we were made for that very purpose of constantly looking for the next thing, never getting satisfied with what we have. And I believe it is a good thing. To not be satisfied with your current state, striving to learn more, to know more,Continue reading “Building character.”
Every careless word.
First of, Happy Easter! This is a celebration that will never get old and of which we must never forget. The God man came into the earth to save sinners like you and me to reconcile them to Himself! Today, I would like to talk about our words and the impact they have on usContinue reading “Every careless word.”
Waiting on the Lord
This is probably the hardest thing to do as a Christian because it is so foreign to our human nature to entrust all that we are and have to another being. Waiting on the Lord means to walk in accordance to His plans, according to His timetable, according to His purposes. That is hard forContinue reading “Waiting on the Lord”
Favour. Obedience. Blessing.
The favour of God is a common phrase or lingo in Christian circles. So common that its understanding has been lost, in my opinion. It seems, the favour of God is a status to be sought for one’s own selfish desires. Indeed, what is the favour of God? What does it mean to have favourContinue reading “Favour. Obedience. Blessing.”
The unfathomable love of God
The love of God is an attribute often times difficult to grasp. I mean, there are many things about God that are too difficult to grasp let’s just admit it. His ways are not our ways and as far as the heavens are above the earth so are His thoughts from ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). However,Continue reading “The unfathomable love of God”
