Our body retains memories of our sinful past and tries to pull the new soul back into it. That is where the internal battle is coming from. If you are a believer, your soul is reborn, but your body is not. At least not yet. And you must constantly fight with what it’s accustomed to […]

Has this thought ever occurred to you? Two people seem very much alike. On the outside, they seem about the same age, same height, same weight, same likes and dislikes, even same ethnicity, but when you probe further, they are very different. One seems well adjusted, content, congenial, and likable, but the other is hostile, angry, spiteful, […]

John 4:27-Just then his disciples came back. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but no one said, “What do you seek?” or, “Why are you talking with her?” As a Christian, whenever the way we think about people is regulated to our own social and cultural norms, we have to stay amidst […]

Tough thing about growing as a Christian is that certain things are automatic and/or come easily, but certain others things we must fight hard for. The error is when we think that all thing should come easily if we are truly in God’s hands. However, all things will NOT come easily even to those who […]

Romans 8:26–Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.  It is not difficult to know what you want from natural desires and aspirations.  But it can be difficult to pinpoint […]

One of the nagging questions I had was answered this morning as I was listening to the audio Bible in my car on the way to work this morning. The question is: Why did God allow Hitlers of the world to live when taking out just one individual would have saved so many? I’m somewhat […]

1 Kings 19:5-6-And he lay down and slept under a broom tree. And behold, an angel touched him and said to him, “Arise and eat.” 6 And he looked, and behold, there was at his head a cake baked on hot stones and a jar of water. And he ate and drank and lay down […]

“That’s not fair!” I hear that a lot from the students I teach. For example, if they perceive that I’m giving an advantage to certain students, such as an extra day to work on the assignment, I will hear them say it. But my logic is that since the reason why they were given an […]

1 Peter 4:8-9-The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. Above all keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. Think about someone close to you, that you actually fight negative emotions, so you can keep loving them?  Like most mothers […]
