What if the biggest deception we see on television and mainstream media is not open idol worship? What if it is not all the ‘coincidental’ Illuminati references but something more subtle and sinister? Not that any of the above is justifiable, or tolerable. But what if even with all of that, there is a more […]
As we reflect on the past year and look forward to this one, I hope we can identify moments and periods in time where we can really see when the hand of God moved in our lives and made a difference….
There is wisdom in having a vision and planning for the future. And if we look at our heroes of the faith, they all had a concrete idea of who they were living for and what they wanted to achieve….
If we are not proactive about what our priorities, key goals and aims for life are, we may be more likely to miss them.
Gen 11:6 And the LORD said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Pause for a moment, to think and reflect about how crazy this statement actually
one day at a time, and at times, it was really frustrating to not be able to line all my ducks in a row. It was disappointing, to wake up one day and find hundreds of fish floating dead in my fish pond-killed by the very water that enables them to live. It was frustrating to see my projects stutter, only to crash and with that, know that a sizeable chunk of my funds was done for. And as I said earlier, it has been in many ways a hard year.
It may seem confusing; overwhelming and impossible. You may find yourself struggling for peace and for a mainatained authentic connection to God and His will for your life. You may find yourself waking up in the dead of night with your mind on overdrive; trying to work out solutions and a path for your future. And all of this quite frankly may be driving you insane.
Like me, maybe you just want to stop wearing the uncomfortable, hot mask all over the place and have that temperature gun frequently aimed at your head all of the time. And that may be the only reason you are considering the vaccine, but you still habour the gnawing fear that just what is those people are right? Just what if it is the mark of the beast?
Yes, the year has been crazy. Things have not exactly gone according to our perfect plan. And if we look for reasons to be in distress, we will find them. But that does not matter, time that has passed is like spilled milk. We cannot recover it, and in the same vein living in regret is a wasteful exercise.
Have you ever felt worthless? Like a failure in life and that you do not deserve to have great friends, an amazing job and a loyal and loving spouse? Often, we have a justifiable reason to feel this way. It could be an addiction you are failing to break or a bad relationship you keep going back to that screams at you that this is who you are-a broken, helpless failure who will never rise….
Blessed, redeemed, saved and forgiven. Wonderful words that remind us of who God has declared us to be. This indeed is our true identity, the indelible imprint of God’s death on the cross for us. But who does the world see when they see us? Are we ever honest with ourselves when we act in
But if we are honest, our walk as Christians often does not reflect this limitless power available to us but rather, we often look at the lives of the disciples and Jesus as the pinnacle of what Christianity could be. A pinnacle we have no right to dare dream of seeing in our lifetimes but that must remain solely on the pages of scripture for our admiration….
