There was nothing extraordinary about my life yesterday, but I experienced a deep soberness related to the concept of personal choice. You see, I interacted with two people I hadn’t seen in a while, and I had the opportunity to hear about their choices. A couple of years ago, I shared my faith withContinue reading “The Gravity of it All”

How to Overcome? Philippians 4 (30 min)
Independence is celebrated today as a strength. The concept of total self-reliance is opposite to Biblical teaching (John 15:4-5). The Word of God clearly and repeatedly states that the source of the Christian’s strength is Christ Himself through the power available in the Holy Spirit. Secondly, fellowship with believers is indeed God’s desire for HisContinue reading “How to Overcome? Philippians 4 (30 min)”
What is Your Goal? Philippians 3 (22 min)
In my last post, I asked: Do you understand who Jesus Christ is from Father God’s view? The Father’s revelation of Christ is within God’s Word. It is important not to have someone else’s interpretation of who He is! What does God expect you to do with His Christ beyond believing in His message? PaulContinue reading “What is Your Goal? Philippians 3 (22 min)”
Who Is Christ? Philippians 2 (30 min)
In my last post, I asked: who is your God, and where are you on your walk of sanctification? Since the entire letter is focused on overcoming victoriously through the joy available in the LORD, this is an important question. If you are a believer who is agonizing over consuming anxiety, while there can beContinue reading “Who Is Christ? Philippians 2 (30 min)”
Where Are You? Philippians 1
Recently, I had the opportunity to address a group of believers about their appetite concerning Christ. And, of course, as you study God’s word (whether to present it to others or for your personal growth), He is faithful to refine you. And now, I am sharing the impact this study had on me. Regardless ofContinue reading “Where Are You? Philippians 1”
Healing?
Keeping an eternal perspective can be difficult in a world full of ups and downs and too many distractions, not to mention financial and physical challenges. And when we are confronted by concerning issues, we tend to look for solutions we feel we can readily apply. We tend to treat prayer as a last resort.Continue reading “Healing?”
Can You Stand to Be Blessed?
How would you define a blessed person? Is it having great wealth, good health, a loving family, trustworthy friends, and favour in society? I certainly think those things can be blessings, but depending on the effects on you (or your development), they may not be. What about people who have all of those things, but do not know Christ?Continue reading “Can You Stand to Be Blessed?”
The Benevolent Covenant of Grace is His Binding Commitment (Part 2)
This is the second part of my study in Romans 4. Last time we looked at how Abraham was saved by grace through faith; and yes, based on Scripture, that faith was in Jesus Christ. While that is absolutely amazing, it is not impossible for eternal God (who is not limited to our space-time, orContinue reading “The Benevolent Covenant of Grace is His Binding Commitment (Part 2)”
The Outcomes
The 2nd chapter of Romans personalizes the reality of willful blindness in a “virtuous” person, and it ought to cause great introspection. In this chapter, the word “you” is used 27 times within 12 out of a total of 29 verses. That’s on average over 2 times per statement which is fairly confrontational. It becomesContinue reading “The Outcomes”
Hope Again!
In surveying the communities I am involved in, I see a resilience stirring in some people; but, I also see a weariness in others. The past few years have been trying and divisive for the majority of people for various reasons. Friends, if you are growing tired because of the canvas in front of you,Continue reading “Hope Again!”
