Old or New Testament?
Some time ago, I wrote an article, Redemption or Romance? Musings on the book of Ruth. The idea was to share the learnings from a Bible plan I’d just completed. A lot of times, I hear people ask, “Old or New Testament?”. Is it a valid question? Let’s think through. In Luke 24:27, Luke records […]
A mind settled on Jesus
One of the amazing people I know always says: When we get to know Jesus, our spirits become eternally persuaded. However, the mind needs constant reminders before it becomes eternally persuaded. What does that mean? Imagine you come to believe in Jesus. In accordance with Romans 10:9-10, you confess Jesus with your mouth meaning believe […]
And it’s a wrap
We’re almost at the end of the year, and I’d like to wrap up the year in a few words. When I started writing, I didn’t think I had it in me. However, in the last couple of years, I’ve seen change. At some point, this year, I wondered who was writing the articles because […]
Jesus the express image of God
At Bible study a couple of months ago, I read Hebrews 1:1-3 in a new light. Herein, it spotlights Jesus as the express image of God. [1] God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets [2] has in these last days spoken to us […]
Faith Check: Do you want to know Him?
In amusement, I wonder how Apostle Paul, despite knowing Christ, would write, “That I may know Him, …”. What did he see or, ironically, know? You find a bigger picture when you study the book of Philippians. Here’s a short summary. I want to know Him – A Philippians Summary Let the Gospel be seen […]
Why do many trivialize Salvation?
After writing the article, can I lose my salvation? I began to wonder why a lot of people don’t understand salvation. What exactly would make one trivialize this amazing gift of salvation? In thinking, I found 2 things. Growing up in a Christian home Unfortunately, majority of those who we see trivialize salvation are those […]
Can I lose my salvation?
As I write this, there’s probably someone thinking about losing their salvation. In any case, it may not be the question, “Can I lose my salvation?”. It may look more like, “If someone commits a sin just before they die, will they go to heaven or hell?” Or something along the line of committing sin. […]
Strive for Deeper
In the last two months, I’ve discovered a deeper side to the things of God. It’s refreshing, to say the least. Strive for deeper is my way of showing you that there is more. In Acts 8 when Philip meets the Ethiopian Eunuch, he questions his understanding: So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading […]
A walk through to Grace
In the last few months, I’ve learned some on Grace, and I’d like to share that with you. Shall we take a walk through to Grace? The first time I encountered Titus 2:11-12, I didn’t think much to it. However, after reading it and referencing it quite a number of times during Bible study, I […]
Redemption or Romance? Musings on the book of Ruth
From first glance at the book of Ruth, you see that there’s romance in the air. However, looking into the details, you’ll find a redemption story. Before we get into it, I remember a question I was asked some days ago: Why do you read your Bible? My response was and is still: To learn […]
