By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient (Heb. 11:31). Rahab’s story, recorded in Joshua chapter 2, gives us an insight into what everyone in Jericho knew. She knew, just as everyone else in Jericho, about the God of the Israelites who dried up the Red Sea and destroyed Sihon […]

Storms are never welcomed experiences, and no one in their right mind walks into a storm just for fun. Storms come as surprises when we are least prepared for them. They are usually overwhelming, beyond our control, defy our escape strategies, and show no respect for age, gender, race, or religion. The COVID experience was five years ago, and its […]

Valentine’s is this Friday. Perhaps you are waiting for that special person to express love to you. You may be already getting anxious about whether it will happen. You may have even given up hope and concluded it will not happen like last year. But the problem is not that person, it is you. God’s command to love is not […]

God created humans in his image to share eternity with Him in perfect harmony – this is grace. However, we rebelled and fell from grace to grass and became slaves of Satan with the consequence of spending eternity in hell with our new boss.

No one, including the unborn generation, was to forget this incredible miracle that the Lord wrought. God is still in […]

Your 2025 journey is on, but where is your destination? Some people take jolly rides with no destination in mind and are contented wherever their ride takes them. People are expected to have firm destinations in mind before stepping out. Depending on the destination, elaborate plans are made. Money is saved, travel documents and immunizations are updated, reservations are made, […]

As the year wraps up in a few hours, it is time to step back and reflect to be better prepared for the New Year. Do not seek to relive the past, whether pleasant or painful. Do not waste time and energy regretting or savoring the past. Take only the lessons learned from the past to live in the present […]

The experience of being in a new place where you are different from everyone else and lack the language to communicate can be unnerving.
