Complaining and sulking are like drugs. The more we do them, the more we want to do them. Sometimes we complain in doing good and being good. Especially when we do not get what we expect. And that takes away the joy of doing and being good. What is the cure? How do we reverse […]
Imagine if you could give your life to someone. If my child were gravely sick and about to die and I could give her my life, I would of course do it without thinking twice about it. However, the only fair way for that to be done is that she gets only what is left […]
Irony of wisdom: Just when you figure out what life is all about, it’s time to die. Isn’t it ironic that we usually don’t think about the meaning of life and what’s it all about until we are nearing death? By then, it’s too late to do anything about it… All our wisdom and memories […]
Good morning everyone, 1 Corinthians 9:22-23-To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. 23 I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings. There have […]

Good morning everyone, Exodus 16:19-21-And Moses said to them, "Let no one leave any of it over till the morning." 20 But they did not listen to Moses. Some left part of it till the morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Moses was angry with them. God had laid a great call upon […]
Experiment: Blow a hot breath on a reflective surface such as a mirror and see how long it takes for it to clear. I did it on my Ipod Touch surface and it took 30 seconds. I could literally see the fogged up surface get smaller and smaller until it completely disappeared. Try it now! […]
Good morning everyone, Proverbs 24:16-for the righteous falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked stumble in times of calamity. When you read something like this and consider the reality of being a Christian, if we are not sure where our confidence lies we can easily see “falling” as being so shameful we will […]
Does life seem surreal to you sometimes? Whatever is happening around you is either happening entirely too fast or you can’t believe it’s happening?
