Some thoughts I think as I study God’s Word
In my opinion, the worst thing about temptation is that in that moment, you don’t think about the myriad long-term effects of your sin. It’s all about the moment…the pleasure of the now… No doubt, that’s what it was like for David as he stood on that balcony, looking down at Bathsheba. Never mind she …
On this day one hundred and sixty-eight years ago, the founders of the Christian denomination to which I belong experienced what has come to be known as the Great Disappointment. All day and all night on the 22nd of October in 1844 they waited for Christ’s literal return…By noon of October 23, most had come …
Around fifteen universities now offer courses for free online through a medium called Coursera. No, no, it’s legit – you can take Stanford, Michigan, Princeton, UPenn, Hopkins and many more university classes for free! It was while browsing the Duke University website that I learnt about this program because Duke participates in it as well. …
I just watched a TED talk on slavery. There’s a part of me that wishes I hadn’t because now, I know, and now, I feel so helpless. More than 27million people enslaved in the world today…some sold into slavery for as little as $18. Sex and textile slavery are probably the most commonly known, but …
Today, I resonate with this Psalm: When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them. The LORD hath done great things for us; …
Recently, I’ve come to an existential comprehension of why “long-suffering” and “patience” are synonyms… It takes a distinct determination, a fortitude and resilience to wait patiently for something so deeply desired. Patience isn’t just about letting time pass. It’s got to do with the attitude adopted while the necessary time lapses. It is, by no …
You have faced the mountains of desperation; You have climbed…you have fought…you have won… But this valley that lies, cold, before you Cast a shadow you cannot overcome… And just when you thought you had it all together… You knew every verse to get you through; But this time all the sorrow broke more than …
There’s a song by Chris Rice titled “Big Enough” that asks a lot of questions. It’s on one of my work-music playlists so sometimes, I’ll hear it several times in one day. As it played yesterday, the lyrics finally became audible. “God, if You’re there, I wish You’d show me And God if You care …
I’ve been ruminating on 2 Timothy 2:3 of late which reads, “Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.” This past year has revealed to me my lack of endurance when trying times come. Or at least, even though I “endured” the challenges, my attitude would not qualify as that of a …
I was well on my way to writing another pessimistic post, this time about having children, when a conversation with a friend, on the topic, revealed a flaw in my perspective. It’s kinda like the whole glass half full or half empty thing… Focusing on the emptiness breeds fear, you see. But God has not …
