The silent role of Faithfulness
Though Scripture does not describe the details for us, I am convinced that there must have been a quiet and consistent role of faithfulness being played behind the scenes, a faithfulness that ensured the knowledge of God would be passed down. Timothy’s sincere faith must have affected Apostle Paul so deeply that he felt compelled…

The Bible is made up of books written to people in the past
The Bible wasn’t written in verses. Verses help us memorise, but don’t fall into the habit of exalting one above another. Scripture is like a body—every part matters. Preferring one verse over another is like preferring your biceps to your triceps. That’s not how a body works, and not how Scripture works either.

JESUS stood to lose no matter what HE chose
They knew only JESUS could end HIS own ministry. They knew the only force powerful enough to stop GOD is GOD. Even today, the enemy tries to use ‘a work of GOD’ to prevent “the work of GOD”—to distract, to water down, or to divide hearts and attention. No one but GOD can stop GOD…

TOO STRONG TO BE WEAK
I think about how often the Lord reminds us that His strength is made available to us, especially in times of weakness and I am prompted to ask; how can strength be made available in weakness?

We are no longer slaves to the sins that we once committed
“We have freedom: freedom that is never bound, freedom that can no longer succumb to the boundaries of our human and unequal limitations. The righteousness of GOD, the righteousness of JESUS, shows us that we can live in righteousness and be strong by virtue of living in it.”

The battle that really matters
It may seem strange to you, who would choose death? Yet the truth is that, left to ourselves, we often do, even when we try not to. But this is where the beauty of the gospel shines. Jesus Christ came and laid down His life for you and me, triumphing over sin, and all that…

I am a dog who waits for the owner before I bark or bite
I’m learning to be and feel good and grateful to GOD when those who hurt me have goodness or good news in their lives. Example at hand, a manipulative ex getting married before me, a wicked senior and bully in secondary school becoming a big time success in their industry, a wayward colleague finding JESUS…

Have your burdens been rolled away?
A soul without burden is one that has allowed Another (Jesus Christ) to carry it, and can now rejoice freely. We begin to see the light, and our backs grow light as well; the burden that once sat heavily on our hearts rolls away and rests in the tomb where Jesus Christ defeated sin.

It seems to me that GOD uses the differences
Lately, I am trying to unravel the contribution of differences and repetitions in human record-keeping when it comes to portraying the image of GOD. I’m gradually coming to terms with appreciating the complexity of repetition as a means of depicting the full picture of several historical accounts of faith.

I am no longer afraid of greatness
I am no longer afraid of myself; I am no longer afraid, nor am I weary of myself. Today is the last day I feel sorry for being the spitting image and likeness of GOD. I embrace myself, warmly, without pride, without prejudice, without procrastination.
