Scriptural Readings: Luke 23:34

The question of why has always been a burden to us. Sometimes it is a lot easier to point out what or how and when unfortunate things happen but to figure out why would always take time, effort and much more.

Why did God put both the tree of knowledge of good and evil and the tree of life into the same place? Why did He let the serpent deceive them from the very place God prepared for them? If we ask how, when and where, it's in His wisdom.… Continue

Force our way

Scriptural Readings: Exodus 34:5

And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.

God does not change.

This is one thing that we have to store in our hearts and minds. From the beginning God did not leave us. It is always our fault that we loose and eventually lose our faith in Him intentionally or unintentionally. Our sense of direction easily points us out to uncertain terms as soon as we face our problems.… Continue

Contentment....Collaboration....Crime..

Scriptural Readings: Phillipians 4:11

Living in this world where good and evil simultaneously exist, we are easily entangled with difficulties on how to figure out whether our decisions would end up morally right or otherwise ending up with saying the words I am sorry.

Contentment is a thing that we have to learn more. We can refer contentment like that of the tree of good and evil or the tree of life.

Phillipians 4:11

Not that I speak in respect of… Continue

Have you ever stopped to think about the power in the word 'if'?

It is pregnant with hope, possibility, opportunity and even promise. On the other hand, when paired with other words, it seems to go the other direction. For instance, 'if… Continue
