What is grief?

Cries seemingly unheard

A few weeks prior to this post, I’ve posted about how, in my perception, difficult life is these days. Today it isn’t the social media posts that triggered me. Today it is about the barrage of things that test my character. One thing in particular that I admitted today is that I am no preacher […]

Tears no man will ever admit

I’m the guy who took all possible shortcuts but only arrived halfway there. At the moment this is how my life feels. half-baked. half-assed. There are a lot of people who encourage me saying that I’m very good at this, and then I’m very good at that. Truth be told, a lot of times, I […]

As the name suggests, topical preaching selects a subject and aligns it with what God’s Word says about it. I acknowledge its […]

Perfection’s perplexing points

Let me preface this article by saying this – I follow Christ but I am in no way perfect in my walk. Only Jesus Christ has walked perfectly. Secondly, my thoughts on this article may be different from my previous ideas in this blog. Consider the date when I posted this. I may already have […]

Fifteen years ago, I wouldn’t know anything on how to appreciate art. I know that I’m a creative person but I can only apply it to sound and then music. Visual arts though, I knew very little about it. A friend once told me that appreciating art is just like how one appreciates music. There’s […]

God and the demons of the modern times

Mark 5:1-20 NKJV They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gerasenes. And when Jesus had stepped out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit. He lived among the tombs. And no one could bind him anymore, not even […]
