MEANINGLESS GOALS
“Do not confuse motion and progress. A rocking horse keeps moving but does not make any progress.” – Alfred A. Montapert There is a big difference between activity and accomplishment. This was demonstrated by a French scientist named Fabre. He conducted an experiment with processionary caterpillars. These caterpillars instinctively follow the one in front ofContinue reading “MEANINGLESS GOALS”
BEWARE OF THE STRONGHOLD OF COLD LOVE
LOVE WITHOUT COMMITMENT IS NOT LOVE There is no such thing as love without commitment. The measure of your love is found in the depth of your commitment. How often we have heard people tell that , I loved once, but I was hurt, or I was committed to Christian service, but they used me.Continue reading “BEWARE OF THE STRONGHOLD OF COLD LOVE”
VIOLENT THINKING
When most people think of violence, they think of physical violence. But the truth is that our actions are only violent because our hearts and minds are violent first. For this reason, Jesus emphasizes purging violence from our minds as much as from our physical behaviour. In Matt 5: 21-26, he reminds us of the OTContinue reading “VIOLENT THINKING”
ZULEIKHA – POTIPHAR’S WIFE
Reading through the life of Joseph, something arrested my attention. The translation of the Old Testament that I am relying on as my primary text is the English translation of the Septuagint found in the Orthodox Study Bible.

Find real health of mind and you will have gone a long way toward finding health of body also. As Dr Paul Tournier, the well-known Swiss physician, points out, health depends to a large extent on mental attitudes and even upon the spiritual condition of the personality. We frequently hear people say, ‘I am sickContinue reading “FINDING HEALTH OF MIND AND BODY”
WHAT ARE EVIL SPIRITS?
Spiritual possession is a phenomenon in which a stray being from the Spirit World constantly or temporarily possesses and exerts negative influence on a person living on earth. Most commonly they are known as “evil spirits” and, although many people may scoff at the idea, it is a real and undeniable fact that they existContinue reading “WHAT ARE EVIL SPIRITS?”
WHO DECEIVED EVE IN THE EDEN ?
I have heard it taught for most of my Christian life that Eve was lied to, or deceived by the serpent in the Garden of Eden, thus plunging us into the chaos that has been the human experience ever since. But is this really true? Was it Satan deceiving her, or perhaps actually her husbandContinue reading “WHO DECEIVED EVE IN THE EDEN ?”
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A MAN ?
“Be a man!” “You’re the man!” “Fight like a man!” What does it really mean to be a man? I’ve heard it said, and said it myself before, you may be male by birth, but you’re a man by choice. For too many years there has been this unspoken thing about what it means toContinue reading “WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A MAN ?”
