Since today is International Labour’s Day, let’s consider for a moment what the Bible says about work: 1. Work in itself is not a curse. It is our design. When God created Adam, God placed him in the garden of Eden to work it. We do not just subdue and manage creation, we nurture itContinue reading “Labor Day: JEHOVAH as Lord of Work and Rest”

The Life of God in The Soul of Man by Henry Scougal
Some men die young but live full. Henry Scougal died at the age of 27 – leaving a single letter that would change the lives of men like George Whitefield and countless others. “The Life of God in the Soul of Man” was written to a friend of his and through a series of ProvidenceContinue reading “The Life of God in The Soul of Man by Henry Scougal”
The Reason For God by Tim Keller
Are we becoming secular or religious? The answer is both.

In the past 6 weeks,Continue reading “The Reason For God by Tim Keller”
The City of God by St. Augustine
Pandemics. Wars. Calamities. All generations of men will experience these. Inevitably, these will lead us to question the usefulness of our faith.

Most of us – I included – would rather listen to practical messages: “How to find peace in times of trouble”, “How to be self-controlled”, and many more. We’ve taught people how to live but we haven’t taught themContinue reading “The Attributes of God by A.W. Tozer”
God is Unchanging
Memories who won’t stop stinging /Promises I could’t believe in /I knew better then /I knew better then/To trust myself /To trust someone else /To trust the doubt in the back of my mind /Trust the trail of pain left behind” (Christina Perri, “Trust”) Trusting is hard. When the government announced that we were havingContinue reading “God is Unchanging”
GOD IS INDEPENDENT
“It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.” (William Ernest Henley, Invictus) William Ernest Henley was the one who wrote this piece. And he states two things: (1) there will be challenges faced but (1) IContinue reading “GOD IS INDEPENDENT”
