Boast in your greatness…

See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh who would force you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. For even those who are circumcisedContinue reading “Boast in your greatness…”

Slow fade…

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wickedContinue reading “Slow fade…”

A new song…

Psalm 98 starts “O sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvellous things.” Sing to the Lord a new song.

Had a wonderful idea that once you started to put it in motion you realized that it was not going to succeed? What is success? We eachContinue reading “Labor not in vain…”

Competent?

Are you a self made man? Ok ok… If you are a woman, are you a self made woman? Did you make yourself be the person you are today by the sweat of your own labor? Building up your life and making a name for yourself? And you’ve done this all on your own? WithContinue reading “Competent?”

Hope in Christ

Ephesians 1:7-14 says, “In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and insight he has made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that he set forth in Christ,Continue reading “Hope in Christ”

Praise the Lord with Trumpet sound!

Psalm 150 is a favorite of mine out of the Psalms. It is a favorite, because it is a wonderful praise song! I remember singing it on internship… Praise the Lord with Trumpet Sounds, Trumpet Sounds…. Praise the Lord with a Big bass Drum! Big Bass Drum…. Praise the Lord with Rocking guitar! You couldContinue reading “Praise the Lord with Trumpet sound!”
