PSALM 2: Why do the nations conspirea and the peoples plot in vain? 2The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the Lord and against his anointed, saying, 3“Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.” 4The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them. 5He rebukes themContinueContinue reading “Three Pearls, Three Minutes, Thirty Days.

It’s been a long while but I have a good reason for the absence…something in the works!! However, I feel inspired to share quick thoughts on the first 30 chapters of The Psaltery. An in-depth study of the thoughts and prayers of David, the Shepherd turned King, sinner and apple of God’s eyes, is illuminating,ContinueContinue reading “Three Pearls, Three Minutes, Thirty Days. (Day 1)”

Of course, I don’t mean the title of today’s post literally because God is loving, good, understanding e.t.c. and He is not prone to being easily irritated like we humans can be. But I sometimes wonder how irritated I would be, if I were God, and  had millions of people asking me everyday for whatContinueContinue reading “Let’s Stop Getting on God’s Nerves!”

If anyone reading today’s piece were to be asked, ‘did you cause anyone to sin today or lead anyone into temptation?’, I am absolutely certain that 99% of responders would categorically say NO. And until I reflected upon the scripture background for today’s piece, I would probably have been one of the 99%. Most days,ContinueContinue reading “Leading Others into Temptation”

These are interesting times in the political clime of the United States. As with most people, I have found the daily political news riveting. One phrase that has reverberated with me over the past few weeks is the concept of political appointees serving at the pleasure of the President. They can be fired or removed withoutContinueContinue reading “Living at the Pleasure of His Mercy”

Author’s Note: I have deliberately titled this piece in honor of Pentecost Sunday using business language that most people will readily relate to. For sadly, we live in a world where most people are constantly tuned into what they can benefit from their time and investments in things and people…..there can be no greater investment than that of deepeningContinueContinue reading “5 R.O.I.s of Cultivating A Deeper Relationship with the Holy Spirit”

Abraham’s position as the ‘Father of faith’ is a fact spelt out clearly in the 4th chapter of Apostle Paul’s epistle to the Romans. His faith has been touted as the ultimate example of the kind of faith that pleases God; a faith that was credited to him as righteousness. In this present time, weContinueContinue reading “Is my faith truly like Abraham’s?”

Happy Mother’s Day! Today is a good day to reflect on two mothers who bore sons that were destined to pronounce laws that continue to be a guide-light for millions all over the world.  In present day lexicon, we would probably refer to these mothers as Influencers: From the Old Testament/Torah, we have Jochebed, the mother of Moses andContinueContinue reading “All Hail The Mothers – The Powerful Influencers”

I am so grateful to have been born about 2,000 years after Jesus Christ roamed the earth, and not during the period when He was alive. A few years ago, I read best-selling Author, Phillip Yancey’s book, ‘The Jesus I Never Knew’, and realized how I could easily have been one of those who chanted for Christ’s crucifixion and cried forContinueContinue reading “There go I, But for His Grace.”

It is a familiar, well-loved verse for most Christians, quoted to reassure ourselves and our loved ones. A promise of great things to come in the future, especially when one cannot imagine how they will be worked out. “For I know well the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare, not for woe!ContinueContinue reading “Obedience, In Spite Of……..”
