When you become a victim of a crime, it knocks the wind out of you. There are many crimes worldwide where police are not able to track down and apprehend the perpetrators. One such crime are scams where highly skilled rascals pry on unsuspecting persons. At first you feel stupefied and wonder if this is for real. Then the anger sets in; you are angry with the perpetrators of the crime and you are angry with yourself for falling into…..
A heart that has suffered grievous harm is a hurting heart. Hurt in the heart goes far deeper than hurt in the body. The heart and the head are connected and the one feeds of the other. When we are grieved in our spirit, it affects our mind and causes us to brood. Someone who is brooding is not engaging in productive activities because their mind is uneasy.
When you are grieving for a loved one who just lost the…..
In the midst of escalating evils in many countries, people are grouping together for week-long and month-long fasting and prayer. When a land is plagued by overwhelming acts of violence, we should know that the Lord looks at the heart of its people. Out of the heart, all the issues of life spring forth. (Proverbs 4:23)
A proud heart and a haughty spirit will lead to the path of destruction but a humble heart receives its just reward. 2 Chronicles…..
A heart motivated by love is a strong heart that will look at things and situations from a perspective that is higher than human intellect and reasoning. When we follow the way the Lord Jesus Christ lived, we see that He operated on divine principles rather than earthly principles. He came to do the will of the Father (John 4:34; 5:30; 6:38). These principles are solid and does not change as the situations change in life. They are based on…..
When people you love break your heart, what do you do? The first question in your mind is ‘why?’ and the initial reaction is pain. Very often there is this disbelief as you struggle to accept the fact that someone so close to you, someone you love, could do this to you. Your world comes crashing down right before your eyes and you have to pinch yourself to see that this is not a bad dream.
How do you respond…..
Funny how strange it is that people who are always giving of themselves do not get reciprocated! One would think it should be otherwise, but the irony is they don’t always get compensated for their efforts. Like a donkey, set to work the field for its master, it works day in and day out until it is too old and too weak to work anymore. Then that day comes when it just can’t work anymore and it is put away,…..
Time is one of our most valuable assets. Unfortunately many people do not use their time well. Time can be seen as a bank account; what you put in, you get out. But unfortunately there is no savings section because time lost cannot be regained.
In today’s fast and frenzied world, everything is literally at our fingertips. We even use our fingertips to do much of our communication, like texting and typing on our iPad screens. If you need a…..
Today I married my best friend, Today I pledged to stick through thick and thin, Today I sealed a pact witnessed on earth and heaven within, Today I became one flesh with my beloved friend.
Love is not love which alters with the rising tide, Love is not love which falters with the seasons stride, Love is constant and enduring, Love is patient and endearing.
Two friends clasped in holy pride, Two friends committed to a heavenly ride, Two friends…..
If you don’t master something but let it master you, you will become a slave to it. Work is good for you but if you work in excess, it will destroy you. You can read Deuteronomy 5:12-15 for proof. We are instructed in Exodus 20:9-10 to rest on the Sabbath day for a special reason – we ‘need’ rest. Anybody who thinks otherwise is fooling themselves and will pay the consequences for their disobedience.
We are also instructed not…..
So many people sit on the fence today. They do not take a stance and are very easily swayed. They do not have any firm convictions and are governed by a behaviour of complacency; the ‘whatever!’ attitude. It is said that if you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything.
A stern threat is issued to those who are lukewarm. Revelation 3:15-16 says, “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would that you were…..
