Thou shalt not judge!
About 7 months ago, I resolved to set aside Fridays as my “do not judge others” day. The rules of this day were to refrain from thinking anything negative about people or saying anything negative about people. Constructive feedback is fine as long as it comes from a place of love. In short, I signed…

Bring Father to Work Day
Most Christians spend at least an hour everyday with Jesus. There is a peacefulness that comes from spending time in communion with God. Praying, reading scripture, journaling and chatting with God. Some Christians call it daily devotional and others their Holy Hour. Hope this is your daily habit. Especially because it is the best thing…

Fisherman
Our loving pastor decided to organize a 40-day New Testament challenge at the beginning of this year. Rules of the challenge are that we have to read the entire New Testament in 40 days, back-to-back. I signed up, this exercise gave me a chance to see Peter transform from an impulsive, brash fisherman to the…

Perfect Peace
Our mind holds the key to how we act and perceive things. Protecting the mind is very important for everyone, Christians and non-believers alike. How you think shapes what you do, attract into your life and how you live. Your mind controls your conscious and unconscious state. In chapter 52 of the book, “Your life…

Karma
Karma is a secular concept that should be shunned by Christians. Karma is defined as cause and effect. Future or immediate consequences to current actions. I see this word hurled around a lot, but I doubt that one realizes that we minimize our savior’s work when we assume that we are bound by karma. ‘…

We the “Christian” people
Going to church is tied to Christian holidays as opposed to a way of life in our current time and age. I hope this will turn around, because being part of a church community is one of the crucial aspects of being a good Christian. I know Christians who refrain from being part of a…

Elusive or Opportune time?
Ever notice how time does not overpower you when you are getting stuff accomplished? You have a task list, you are checking it off, you are on top of the accomplishment game, time is your friend. At other times it feels like you are being overtaken by time, running helter-skelter to catch up but it…

Living water
Do you catch yourself unmindful of God sometimes while you are in the midst of something? Your mind has drifted into the job at hand, and you are locked in, but you left your Savior on the sidelines watching and waiting for you to acknowledge Him? I cannot emphasize this enough; we are in a…

Successful mission
Jesus delivered. He was born on earth; the Bible does not tell us who made the decision to send Jesus to earth. John Milton in Paradise Lost muses that Jesus volunteered. All speculations aside, there was a plan and He jumped in. He was born, He suffered, was crucified, died and He rose from the…

Walk with me!
Have you seen those sitcoms where the busy protagonists bustle around and tell people to walk with them? I got reminded of this because I used to be one of those people before covid. Confessions time, I used to have people walk with me if they need time with me between meetings. They would accompany…
