Psalm 24: 1The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; 2for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters. 3Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? 4The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in anContinueContinue reading “Lent Day 27: Three Pearls from Psalm 24”

Chastity: If anyone thinks that Christians regard unchastity as the supreme vice, he is quite wrong. The sins of the flesh are bad, but they are the least bad of all sins. All the worst pleasures are purely spiritual: the pleasure of putting other people in the wrong, of bossing and patronising and spoiling sport,ContinueContinue reading “Lent Day 26: C. S. Lewis on Chastity”

                    Psalm 5 Prayer My Father in heaven, through the mediation of my Redeemer, Jesus,  hear my spoken prayer and consider my unspoken prayer; my needs, my emotions and my sincerity.

We often talk about repenting and asking God for forgiveness especially during this season of Lent. I think we should be using the word – forsaking- more commonly. I believe we should think strategically about how we will avoid/eliminate the sources of particular sins from our lives even before we turn to God for pardon.ContinueContinue reading “Lent Day 24: Forsaking Sin”

One of the hardest things a Follower of Christ is asked to do is to pray for their enemies.

Human nature is much more comfortable with the cries of David for GodContinueContinue reading “Lent Day 23: Feed Your Enemies”

Once in a while, God places a burden in our minds about someone we know. We are enlightened as to what is going on in their lives, or problems they may have not yet realized, talk less of ventured to think about. It might be about them or their loved ones. In the past, IContinueContinue reading “Lent Day 22: Right Message; Wrong Timing and/or Wrong Messenger”

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. Mahatma Gandhi “When anything in life is an absolute requirement for your happiness and self-worth, it is essentially an ‘idol,’ something you are actually worshiping. When such a thing is threatened, your anger is absolute. Your anger is actually the way the idolContinueContinue reading “Lent Day 21: 10 Memorable Quotes on Forgiveness”

Hate is a word that God does not really want in the Christian’s lexicon except it is used in the context of sin. Here we are probably allowed to let our hatred roll full steam, as long as it is sin we are hating and not the sinner. Moreso if that sinner is the personContinueContinue reading “Lent Day 20: We Need To Go Cold-Turkey!”

(B.C. – Before Christ; A.D. – Anno Domini or In the year of the Lord, i.e. after the birth of Christ) We know that in any organization or society, power and authority comes with responsibility; the greater the authority, the greater the responsibility. We Followers of Christ have received access to the tremendous power thatContinueContinue reading “Lent Day 19: Scripture Prayers B.C./A.D.”

A much beloved verse,  Psalm 103:1 is a deep yearning of gratitude and praise that goes beyond the ordinary. It is not enough to bless the Lord with the mouth, hands, feet or any part of the mortal flesh. That is a good mode of thanks, but this God who proves to me everyday thatContinueContinue reading “Lent Day 18: Bless The Lord, O My Soul!!”
