Just like salt, when you show a little kindness, it goes a long way. Sometimes we may not feel up to the mark and may even make excuses for putting in the effort for doing a good deed for others. When we step out of our comfort zone and show a…..
Love is probably the most overused and rashly abused word of all. When you say you love someone, do you really and fully understand what you are saying? If love is unpacked, we will be very surprised to discover the true essence of what we confess.
What is love? First, let’s see what love is not – it is not boastful, puffed up, it does not envy, does not parade itself, does not behave rudely, does not seek self gratification,…..
Why is it that when the rains pour, it comes down in torrents? They say that when calamity strikes, it never rains but pours. Just when you think the worse is over and things couldn’t get any worse, you are struck down with another major blow. What do you do? Where do you turn?
Sometimes you try to hold onto a thin strand of hope and as you do, to your horror, you watch it wearing out. Then when it…..
Are we better off today than our counterparts three or four generations ago? We live in big fancy houses or apartments with designer kitchens and state of the art creature comforts in our bathrooms and bedrooms. Yet how much of home cooked meals are we preparing and how many sit down meals are we sharing as a family?
They had no fancy gadgets and rooms were shared by many siblings. Everyone had duties and everything had to be shared and…..
The biggest lament of our generation is wayward children. They are undisciplined and unruly. Their self-will is the overriding ‘end all and be all’. Teachers are at their wits end to get them to sit down and pay attention so that they can be teachable.
We are breeding a generation of ‘idiots’ who ‘know it all’ and who have everything at their fingertips. Literally, they can write without thinking using their fingertips because of auto-correct and autocomplete. Children don’t see…..
Get Ready!

Part 1
Get Ready
Are you ready?
Look around you…
What do you see?
Signs, signals, scenarios
Something is imminent.
The whole earth is in anticipation…
The crust of the earth is cracking.
The birds of the air; they know it.
The fish in the depths of the ocean; they sense it.
Something is happening for sure!
People all around our world feel it in their gut.
There is…..
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…..
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…..
