The world is upside down. Sometimes it feels that way. It feels messed up and in disarray and all I am doing is putting a brave face as the mess gets messier. In the middle of this Jesus does not come in and say it’s all calm. On the contrary, His Kingdom mission heavily disrupts […]
Read More ChangeRecently I have been reminded of how it’s worth reviewing a term or phrase so that it doesn’t always trigger a negative connotation. Take the word ‘judgment’. I am sure a number of people would literally like to do that. This is usually because of the bad rep the word has. Judgment – a decision […]
Read More It’s Not All BadI have never read the book, watched a film or otherwise completed any sort of media about The Invisible Man. But I am a big fan of the concept. There’s a question that’s asked in the circles I frequent about which ‘super power’ would you want if you could have any. After joking that I […]
Read More Inspired By The Invisible ManApparently, I heard it said, that Marvin received the news that made him just about to lose his mind on the grapevine. The concept of the grapevine remains a very rich one in my understanding. That whole web of intrigue and gossip feeds a frenzy of misinformation and manipulation to people far and near, related […]
Read More The Grapevine vs The True VineI love the phrase life is full of swift transitions. I was debating if that’s really true. Then I had a conversation with a friend who informed me that a mutual acquaintance who used to be the in-person in certain church circles was now not so loved because of some trifling matter. As it affected […]
Read More Life Is Full Of Swift TransitionsI read the episode and still chuckle. Jesus and his disciples in a boat. His disciples include hardened fishermen who know a thing or two about life on the waves. So when they freak out at a storm that threatens their lives, you must know it’s serious things. Where’s Jesus in all the hullabaloo? Having […]
Read More Serenity in the StormYou couldn’t just write something that someone else wrote and pass it as your own. You had to make sure it was referenced properly. This idea, these words came from this author. This is the source. When I say I am His, I make reference not just to whom I belong, I essentially say Jesus […]
Read More I Am His: Statement of ReferenceIt doesn’t matter how much the declaration is made of being self-determined, independent and autonomous, there is to a degree something or someone that owns us, we give our lives over to it or the someone, they hold us I their thrall. I wonder who or what you belong to. For His Name’s SakeShalomC. L. […]
Read More A Matter of OwnershipBack at the beginning of this month, I mentioned what a fan I am of November. As the month reaches its close I am still a big admirer of the month. Although the 2015 edition will not go down in history as the greatest of my lifetime there have been highlights. One of the most […]
Read More Thank God for … NovemberLife can get so overwhelming that from day to day it can appear just a burden. The mistakes of yesterday, those flaws that were displayed, the hurt caused. As well as problems that were not of your own making still to be resolved. Responsibilities in these circumstances just comes across so overbearing. I am so […]
