Proverbs 21:21 There seems to be a common thought that living a Godly life leads to boredom, unnecessary restrictions and taking the fun out of living. Given that line of thinking it is peculiar that we are also seeing how those living an ungodly life are quickly shamed and condemned when they are caught out.Continue reading “Real life”

Constant and consistent
1 Chronicles 16:34 If we look way back in history, we can recognise that religion in some form or another has been an integral part of any age and society. There have been all sorts of gods, traditions and superstitions that have dictated, enslaved and driven cultures to success or ruin. What most peopleContinue reading “Constant and consistent”
Discontent drives out thankfullness
1 Chronicles 29:13 We seem to live in a world where the quest for more has replaced appreciation for what we have. Discontent can drive positive change but when constant and unrelenting it can be impossible to please. We are bombarded with advertising and are fascinated with the fantasies of perfect bodies, flash houses andContinue reading “Discontent drives out thankfullness”
Natural instincts
Galatians 6:7-8 If we are honest with ourselves, we will observe that our natural instinct is to follow our natural instincts. Think about it for a moment. If you followed through on your first response to feelings of anger, sexual attraction and need for money what would your life look like? It would probably beContinue reading “Natural instincts”
The new commandment
John 13:34-35 The Ten Commandments are often considered the benchmark or basis of good living even though they are impossible to completely fulfil. Even more difficult is Jesus’ command to his disciples to be known for their wholehearted and sacrificial love for each other. We tend to prefer to get stuck on the technicalities, interpretationContinue reading “The new commandment”
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”
Lost innocence
Innocence is an endearing quality in children. It makes them cute and loveable bringing back fond memories of the days where we too didnt have a care in the world. Innocence is really only treasured once we become older and wiser and realise how much easier life might have been if we weren’t so keenContinue reading “Lost innocence”
Getting rid of evil
Many religious people, from any religion, take it upon themselves to try and rid the world of evil. This often ends up in violence and hatred as so called good and evil people clash. Some call it justice while others call it cleansing. Those who associate with ‘good’ justify their actions by claiming to beContinue reading “Getting rid of evil”
Who are you representing?
If we engage someone to represent us we want them to portray an accurate picture of us or at least adequately present our case. What good would it be if we engaged a lawyer to represent us in court if they didn’t have our best interest at heart? What if they were more interested inContinue reading “Who are you representing?”
God is God and we are not.
More often than not we expect more from God than we think He expects from us. We feel that if God were God He should be doing this or that. He should be getting rid of evil, healing the sick, giving me what I want, answering my prayers and making the world a better place.Continue reading “God is God and we are not.”
