Deuteronomy 4:9 My mother inlaw is well along the difficult road of dementia. While she still remembers those people and events she has known for years, she cannot remember what happened an hour ago. It is very sad to see someone’s memory and well-being deteriorate before our eyes, and we can only hope that weContinue reading “Don’t forget”

What are you known for?
Galatians 5:22-23 There are many things Christians are accused off – intolerance, arrogance, ignorance, hypocrisy and being judgmental to name a few. Compare those observations to the characteristics we are actually supposed to be known for which are detailed in today’s verse. What we believe may be misconstrued or misunderstood but how we approach lifeContinue reading “What are you known for?”
What if?
Galatians 5:14 Interestingly the apostle Paul who was more than a full bottle on the Jewish laws is able to summarise them all into one sentence. What a different world we would live in if each one of us decided to make each other just as important as ourselves. What a different world it wouldContinue reading “What if?”
Who are you living for?
2 Corinthians 5:15 None of us want to feel left out, unimportant or as if we are being used for someone else’s benefit. Even more so if we had given up everything for them. The more we put into a relationship the more we expect to be included, trusted, thanked, valued and loved. Often peopleContinue reading “Who are you living for?”
Limited
Jeremiah 32:17 Many of us would like to put God in a box, define the boundaries and by doing so limit the extent of God’s involvement and impact in our life. As soon as we say that God was not able to create the world, all of a sudden, we are declaring that he isContinue reading “Limited”
Why would you?

Both the religious and political powers at the time believed that the teachings of Jesus were a threat to their power and control over the people. While Jesus never instructed or intended his followersContinue reading “Why would you?”
What are you talking about?
Ephesians 4:29 What we say and how we say it will quickly inform others who we are and what is important to us.

If we say whatever we feel like whichever wayContinue reading “What are you talking about?”
Harmony is hard
Romans 15:5-6 Living in peace and harmony is an ideal which many wish for but have resolved it to be unacheivable. If only selfish ambition and personal opinion could simply and magically disappear then life would be bliss. A utopia of selfless cooperation, unified thoughts and harmonious community would lack division, arrogance and violence. ItContinue reading “Harmony is hard”
Term and Conditions
Titus 2:11 What about those pesky terms and conditions that pop up on our screens when installing a new app on our phones, tablets and even computers. I don’t think anybody reads them; we just know that we want to use it, so we buy it or download it, and press Agree without too muchContinue reading “Term and Conditions”
Tasteful conversation
Colossians 4:6 What we talk about and how we talk about others reveals a lot about who we are and what we believe. Many of us are satisfied to discuss superficial facts, tasteless gossip and general information. When it comes to expressing gratitude, sharing feelings and discussing the deep and meaningful things of life mostContinue reading “Tasteful conversation”
